F1 Standings After the Monaco Grand Prix 2026

Nearly a third of the way through the Formula 1 Season, who stands a chance to overtake Kimi Antonelli and Mercedes in the Championship Standings?

Kimi Antonelli has again taken home the victory for the fifth consecutive time this season. As it stands, even his teammate, George Russell, can not hold a candle to the pace that the 19-year-old Italian brings to the Formula 1 track.

The bigger story, though? Max Verstappen, the favorite to challenge Kimi Antonelli before the Monaco race start, saw his race end before it even began. The 4-time World Champion retired his car due to power unit issues on Lap 1, continuing his horrible start to 2026.

With a series of technical retirements, two late race safety cars, a red flag, and several pit lane penalties, Monaco shook up the championship order for several Formula 1 favorites.

Three Formula 1 favorites did not even finish the race. First, Verstappen's technical issue on Lap 1. Then, Norris' retirement due to technical issues later in the race. Finally, Leclerc hitting the wall on the restart after the safety car caused by Strolls' crash.

The championship order was shaken up by the series of crashes and penalties that quickly turned the race into one of the most exciting Monaco Grand Prixs to date.

Antonelli now has a 68-point lead over his teammate George Russell and 66 over his now closest competition, Lewis Hamilton.

Lewis Hamilton has officially leapfrogged up to second in the championship after his teammate, Charles Leclerc, crashed out of the race and George Russell served a drive-through penalty for failing to properly serve a penalty (taking him out of the points, as well).

Oscar Piastri moved up into fifth place ahead of his teammate Lando Norris after Norris' retirement from the grand prix.

Isack Hadjar, of course, has also leapfrogged up the standings from 12th to eighth after his second consecutive third-place finish in Monaco.

The same can be said of the Racing Bulls pair – Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad both finished well into the points and are now in 10th and 13th, respectively.

Lastly, Sergio Perez is officially on the board – making history for Cadillac after scoring their first-ever point in Formula 1. This result may change due to impending penalties.
