F1 Driver Ratings: Our verdict on 2026's stars so far

Formula 1 in 2026 is shaping up to give us a fascinating second half of the season as Kimi Antonelli looks to become the youngest world champion in the sport's history.

Antonelli is 50 points ahead of Lewis Hamilton and 59 points in front of George Russell in the Drivers' Championship in a season that has provided plenty of drama, so it is a good time to look at which drivers have starred and who is struggling before we resume racing with a Sprint weekend at the Dutch Grand Prix on August 21-23, live on Sky Sports F1.
