F1 drivers' and constructors' championship standings after 2026 Chinese GP
The F1 championship standings after the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix
George Russell remains at the top of the Formula 1 drivers' standings after taking second place in the Chinese Grand Prix, but a maiden victory for team-mate Kimi Antonelli saw his lead shrink.
Mercedes continued its early dominant form as Antonelli led home a Mercedes 1-2 on Sunday, with Russell having topped the sprint race earlier in the weekend.
Ferrari once again provided the chief opposition to the Silver Arrows, with Lewis Hamilton registering his first podium for the team, over a year after joining from Mercedes.
A failure to start with either car saw McLaren fall well behind the top two teams. Stuck on 18 points - 15 from Lando Norris and 3 from Oscar Piastri - McLaren is already 70 points behind Mercedes.
The continued brilliance of Ollie Bearman saw Haas leapfrog Red Bull in the constructors' battle, with Max Verstappen retiring and an early crash for Isack Hadjar putting the Frenchman on the back foot.
After two weekends, only Cadillac and Aston Martin remain without a point.
