2026 Formula 1 world championship standings after the Hungarian Grand Prix
The 2026 F1 championship standings after the Hungarian Grand Prix
Kimi Antonelli extended his lead at the top of the Formula 1 world championship standings to 50 points with a podium finish at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
In a weekend of damage limitation as Ferrari and McLaren enjoyed pace over championship-leading Mercedes, Antonelli avoided the mayhem around him to finish in third place.
The result moved him onto 219 points, 50 clear of Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton, who finished in fifth place after a pit lane speeding penalty dropped him behind team-mate Charles Leclerc.
A problem at the start added pain to an already difficult weekend for George Russell, how is once again more than two whole race wins behind his Mercedes counterpart, and is closer to sixth-placed Max Verstappen than Antonelli.
Nico Hulkenberg jumped ahead of Fernando Alonso with his first points of the season for Audi, leaving only Lance Stroll, Sergio Perez, and Valtteri Bottas on zero scores.
