F1 2026: Updated Teammates' Head-to-Head After the Sao Paulo GP

The thrilling Americas triple-header concluded with a Lando Norris win in Interlagos. The British driver bested his teammate, Oscar Piastri, for the fourth straight race, increasing his stock after the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

Norris has recently beaten Piastri in race head-to-head. How do the other intra-team battles look this season? Let's find out.

Kimi Antonelli, the new World Champion, also leads George Russell in qualifying head-to-head. It has been a painful season for Russell, the more veteran driver who was expected to be the leader of this team. He'll be pleased to know that there are only three more races left this year.

With Charles Leclerc finishing in P8 in Interlagos, he ties things up with Lewis Hamilton, who crossed the line in P9. That's how close it has been with the Ferrari drivers. Too bad that they didn't have the pace to make up places in the wet conditions in Interlagos. 

Isack Hadjar once again fell behind Max Verstappen, but it was still a very good race for the Frenchman. After a stretch of four disappointing race weekends, Hadjar bounced back with a podium appearance, his first since finishing third in Baku.

Oscar Piastri tied the McLaren head-to-head during the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, but he lost out to Lando Norris in the next four races. It seemed like Piastri took a step back this season, especially during qualifying, where he is losing more ground to his teammate.

We're still wondering why the Racing Bulls haven't confirmed Liam Lawson for 2027 yet. He has done everything they could've asked for, including dominating his rookie teammate this season. 

At this point, Alpine is more concerned about the midfield battle they lost to the Racing Bulls. They were in contention for fifth place in the Teams' Standings before a drought started in Baku. Alpine has scored only one point in the last six races, and should finish the season in sixth place. 

Rafael Camara placed last among drivers who finished the race in Interlagos, but that was still an achievement. The young Brazilian driver was under pressure, as he made his F1 debut in wet conditions in front of his home fans.

Nico Hulkenberg hung on to P10 in Interlagos, scoring a very important point for Audi. They're chasing Haas for seventh place in the standings, and that one precious point trimmed the deficit to three points.

Alex Albon has now finished ahead of teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. in the last three races. It's a great sign for Albon, who struggled with three straight DNFs during the Asian triple-header.

Lance Stroll failed to finish a race for the seventh time in the last nine races, while Fernando Alonso battled for points in Interlagos. If they want to build any kind of momentum for 2027, we're hoping Aston Martin could fix Stroll's car reliability issues, starting in Las Vegas.

The Valtteri Bottas experience continues to chug along, this time in the form of a stuck wheel nut. The issue forced the former Mercedes driver to sit out and watch the whole race from the sidelines.
