Who is the best F1 driver of 2026?

Oliver Bearman is P13 in the official championship with 17 points.
On driver merit he is P6 with 81 — ahead of Gasly, ahead of Sainz, ahead of Piastri.
Twice this season we graded him the best driver of the whole race. In a Haas.

The closest fight at the front of the grid is not for the title. It is inside Ferrari.
Hamilton 7 — 6 Leclerc on race grades, with one round a dead heat.
Fourteen rounds, and a single round separates them. Nobody else at the front is this close.

He is 45 years old and drives an Aston Martin that has scored 3 points all season.
Saturday never left him.

The most one-sided garage in Formula 1 right now:
Antonelli 12 — 2 Russell.
Fourteen rounds, identical Mercedes, and the 20-year-old graded higher in twelve of them.
Same car is the only fair fight this sport has.
