The 2026 F1 Championship: Kimi Antonelli stays top as Lewis Hamilton loses runner-up spot

Following Lando Norris' victory at the Dutch GP, the Mercedes youngster extends his lead in the F1 championship standings - here's how the results stack up after the 12th round of the season, at Zandvoort

At the end of the 2026 Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix, Kimi Antonelli and George Russell scored the same number of points under the sprint format, therefore cancelling each other out in the championship even though the Mercedes team order benefited the Italian at the end of the race.

As such, Russell retakes second place in the F1 standings from Lewis Hamilton, while Lando Norris - the winner in Zandvoort - made the biggest points haul.

By taking ninth place, Fernando Alonso gave Aston Martin two more points after the one from Monaco. Audi scored two more points.
