Fernando Alonso leads the F1 2026 teammate head-to-head in qualifying at 13–2. Behind the leader come Max Verstappen (Red Bull, 13–3), Carlos Sainz (Williams, 13–3), Pierre Gasly (Alpine F1 Team, 13–4) and Oliver Bearman (Haas F1 Team, 12–4). Qualifying duels won against the driver in the sister car.
The biggest move at the Singapore Grand Prix was Lewis Hamilton, down 3 places to P12. Nobody has pushed harder over the last three rounds than Liam Lawson (RB F1 Team): W, W, W across Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia and Singapore Grand Prix — comfortably clear of the level set over the rest of the season. Going the other way, Arvid Lindblad (RB F1 Team) has given up the most ground: L, L, L across Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia and Singapore Grand Prix, below the standard set earlier in the year.
So why is this ranking worth your time? Because it is exactly the kind of question every fan argues about and almost nobody actually counts. This one is counted: 23 drivers and 17 races of the F1 2026 season, built race by race from the official classifications. No votes, no opinions, no cherry-picked highlights — if a driver moves here, something real happened on track. And it recomputes itself after every Grand Prix, so the next time the argument comes up, the answer is already up to date.
Updated after the Singapore Grand Prix
Through 17 rounds of 2026, Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) leads this table at 13–2, built from 15 counted races.
The chase is led by Max Verstappen at 13–3; Carlos Sainz sits third with 13–3.
As with every Measure ranking, the numbers are computed directly from official race data and refreshed after each round. The big mover this round is Charles Leclerc, up 2 places to P8. Lewis Hamilton heads the other way, down 3 places to P12.
Round 17 at the Singapore Grand Prix keeps Fernando Alonso out front in the Teammate head-to-head (qualifying) rankings, leading on 13–2 for Aston Martin with 15 sessions counted. Behind him, Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz are level on 13–3, leaving the fight for the next spots extremely tight. The biggest risers this update are Charles Leclerc (+2 to 8th, 9–8), Liam Lawson (+2 to 9th, 9–8), and Sergio Pérez (+2 to 11th, 9–8). On the flip side, Lewis Hamilton slides -3 to 12th on 8–9, Gabriel Bortoleto drops -2 to 10th on 9–8, and Arvid Lindblad edges back -1 to 13th on 8–9. The standout theme after Singapore is how cramped the middle has become: a cluster sitting on 9–8 is shifting positions quickly, so small week-to-week swings are now reshaping the order more than any big change at the very top.
In every qualifying session where exactly two drivers of the same constructor set a position, the driver with the better qualifying position takes one win. Constructor is determined from that same round's race-result rows (qualifying has no constructor field on its own); a driver with a qualifying position but no race-result row that round (e.g. a DNS) is excluded from that session's pairing rather than guessed. The ranking orders drivers by wins, then by win rate. The record is shown as wins–losses. Ties beyond win rate are broken by total season points, then alphabetically.
