Russell led from pole then retired lap 29. Norris stopped lap 38. Antonelli won his fourth in five, Hamilton second, Verstappen took Red Bull's first podium of 2026.

Round 5 in Montreal on May 24 - sprint format, low-grip surface, Wall of Champions. Antonelli leads the championship by 26 points after three wins from four. Here's what's at stake.

Four rounds into a new regulations era, Andrea Kimi Antonelli leads the championship with three wins. Mercedes are 1-2 in the standings and Red Bull are fourth. Here's how we got here.

Three wins in four for Kimi Antonelli. Lando Norris took fastest lap and second from fourth on the grid - McLaren's first real Sunday of 2026. Oscar Piastri completed a 2-3. Verstappen finished fifth.

Round 4 in Miami on May 3 is a sprint weekend - the first long-haul flyaway after a five-week gap. Antonelli has won the last two. Can anyone stop a third?

Kimi Antonelli converted pole into a lights-to-flag win in Shanghai, his maiden Grand Prix victory. Lewis Hamilton took his first podium in red. Lando Norris didn't even get off the grid.

Round 2 in Shanghai is a sprint weekend - one practice session, two qualifyings, two races. After Russell's lights-to-flag win in Melbourne, the question is whether Mercedes' pace is the new normal.

George Russell led every lap of the 2026 season opener in Melbourne. Antonelli was second from second on the grid. The most Verstappen-coded recovery of the regulations era happened behind them.

Round 1 of the 2026 season runs in Melbourne on March 8 - the first race of the new 50/50 PU and active-aero regulations. Pre-season testing barely told us anything. Here's what to watch.
