Mercedes have established a dominant stranglehold on the 2026 Formula 1 World Championship, propelled by an extraordinary run of form from Italian teenage sensation Kimi Antonelli alongside teammate George Russell.

Antonelli's Sensation Sweep

Antonelli has taken the grid by storm, registering an astonishing six Grand Prix victories across the opening 11 rounds of the campaign. After Russell opened the season with a commanding win at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, Antonelli rattled off consecutive victories in China, Japan, and Miami.

The young Italian continued his masterclass through the European and North American legs, capturing triumphs in Montreal, a maiden Monaco Grand Prix victory, and a commanding win at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium.

Ferrari and McLaren Fight Back

Despite Mercedes claiming eight of the first 11 race wins, their rivals have mounted fierce resistance:

• Lewis Hamilton secured a historic victory in Ferrari red at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain.
• Charles Leclerc delighted the Tifosi and British fans alike with a dramatic triumph at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix.
• Lando Norris delivered McLaren their first victory of the season with a calculated performance at the Hungaroring.
