Despite Mercedes winning every single F1 race this season bar two, we have an tantalising title race in 2026 in both the drivers' and constructors' championship.

Kimi Antonelli leads the way for Mercedes having won six of the ten races this term, but the Silver Arrows' poor reliability has left the door open for Ferrari.

So much so that with Ferrari getting quicker as the season progresses, Lewis Hamilton is Antonelli's chief championship challenger having moved up to second after the Belgian Grand Prix and trailing by just 45 points.
