F1 Standings After the Canadian Grand Prix 2026

Kimi Antonelli stretched his lead in the Formula 1 drivers' standings as his victory at the Canadian Grand Prix was matched by a retirement for Mercedes teammate George Russell.
The duo went hammer-and-tongs at each other in the opening half of the event before Russell ground to a halt with a suspected power unit failure, leaving the Italian clear.
Lewis Hamilton moved up to fourth with second, while Max Verstappen added to his tally with third, albeit still down in seventh after a tough start to the year for Red Bull.

Charles Leclerc sits third after finishing fourth at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, 13 points further back from Russell.
Hamilton is another three points back on 72 points, with a gap now opened up to Lando Norris on 58 after the reigning champion also retired for McLaren.
The Papaya squad's miserable day was compounded by Oscar Piastri's 11th-place finish, leaving him on 48 points, five ahead of Verstappen.

Pierre Gasly is best of the rest for Alpine despite an off weekend for the Frenchman, his 20 points just two better than Oliver Bearman.
Liam Lawson scored for Racing Bulls to move into the top 10, with Franco Colapinto also moving up the standings with a career-best sixth.
Isack Hadjar had two penalties en route to fifth in the second Red Bull and now has 14 points, with Carlos Sainz eight further back.
