After the Singapore Grand Prix, the 17th round of the season, the team mate head-to-head picture across Formula 1’s eleven pairings is clear. The numbers compiled by F1.com show a clear advantage at some teams and almost no difference at others.
Mercedes: Antonelli ahead
The championship lead is reflected in the team’s internal statistics. Kimi Antonelli has beaten George Russell in qualifying 10 times out of 17, taking pole position in six of them. In races, Antonelli has finished ahead 12 times, winning eight. Russell’s three retirements to Antonelli’s one also show the difference in luck. Antonelli’s third place in Singapore, combined with Russell’s drive to ninth from the back of the grid, extended his points lead to 102.
Ferrari: Almost level
There is almost nothing between Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. Leclerc leads qualifying 9-8, while Hamilton leads the races 9-8. Hamilton levelled the qualifying head-to-head with his front-row start in Malaysia before Leclerc edged ahead again in Singapore.
McLaren: Norris’s qualifying edge
Lando Norris leads Oscar Piastri 11-6 in qualifying, including pole positions in Hungary, the Netherlands and Spain. In races, the gap is smaller (9-7). Norris has recorded three DNFs and Piastri one, plus a DNS at the season opener in Australia. Both drivers failed to start the Chinese Grand Prix. Norris has taken both of the team’s victories, in Hungary and Zandvoort.
Red Bull: Verstappen on top
Isack Hadjar has had a solid season as Verstappen’s new team mate, but the statistics favour the Dutchman. Verstappen leads Hadjar 10-4 in qualifying and 11-3 in races. Against Liam Lawson, who replaced Hadjar for three races after a wrist injury, he leads 3-0 in qualifying and 2-1 in races. Verstappen and Red Bull took their first pole and victory of the season in Malaysia, and then followed it with another win in Singapore, an event he had never won before.
Racing Bulls: Lawson ahead
Liam Lawson leads Arvid Lindblad 9-5 in qualifying and 10-4 in races, although the gap is often small. The pair have scored six double points finishes. Lawson retired once, in Miami, and Lindblad did not start in Canada because of a clutch issue. Yuki Tsunoda trails Lindblad 0-3 in qualifying and 1-2 in races.
Alpine: Gasly dominant
Pierre Gasly leads Franco Colapinto 14-3 in qualifying. He also took his maiden pole position at Monza, entirely on merit in a dry session with the upgraded car. The race picture is closer (10-6).
Haas: Bearman’s edge
Oliver Bearman leads Esteban Ocon 12-5 in qualifying and 10-6 in races. His best Saturday result was P10 in China and Azerbaijan. Ocon’s only retirement of the season came at Zandvoort, where neither driver finished. Haas scored its first double points finish of the season in Azerbaijan, with Ocon eighth and Bearman ninth.
Audi: Nothing between them
Bortoleto leads qualifying 9-8, while Hulkenberg leads the races 9-8. Bortoleto’s best start for the team was P8 at the Belgian Grand Prix. He has finished every race except China, where he did not start, and Singapore. Hulkenberg has suffered three DNFs and a DNS in Australia.
Williams: Sainz standing out
In a tough season for Williams, Carlos Sainz leads Alex Albon 12-5 in qualifying and 11-6 in races. That does not tell the whole story, as Albon gave Sainz a tow at Monza to help him reach Q2. Sainz has three P9 finishes and a P10 in Baku, while Albon has a P8 and a P10.
Aston Martin: The clearest gap
Fernando Alonso leads Lance Stroll 15-2 in qualifying and 10-2 in races. The team’s car issues meant neither driver finished the opening two rounds in Australia and China, and both retired with reliability problems in Barcelona and Baku. Major upgrades have offered encouraging signs. All of the team’s points have come from Alonso, with P10 in Monaco, P9 in the Netherlands and P8 in Malaysia.
Cadillac: Perez ahead
In Cadillac’s maiden season, Sergio Perez leads qualifying 9-8 and races 11-4. Bottas has retired from seven races and Perez from five.
