f1 2026 season pack: current standings, verified line-ups and season facts
Current as of May 26, 2026, this f1 2026 season pack gives you the verified snapshot: Kimi Antonelli leads the drivers’ standings on 106 points for Mercedes, George Russell is second on 88, Charles Leclerc is third on 63, and Lando Norris is fourth. It is also a 22-race, 11-team campaign in a new era of regulations, so this is as much a season-structure reset as it is a points race.
