Quinn SantosFormula 1 News, Standings & Race Results
Formula 1 coverage on TaxiSports follows the 2026 world championship race by race: qualifying, the grand prix itself, and what each result does to the title picture. Session times are given in Malaysian time (GMT+8), so a European race listed here is listed at the hour you would actually watch it.
At the 2026 summer break, after 11 of 22 rounds, Andrea Kimi Antonelli leads the drivers' championship on 219 points for Mercedes, 50 clear of Lewis Hamilton in the Ferrari. George Russell is third on 160, ahead of Charles Leclerc on 138, Lando Norris on 128 and Max Verstappen on 109. Mercedes lead the constructors' standings. The season resumes at the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort on 23 August 2026.
With 11 rounds still to run, the drivers' title is not settled: the gap at the top is worth roughly two race wins, and both Mercedes cars remain in contention. Coverage here tracks the championship arithmetic as it changes rather than re-reporting the race you have already watched.
