With the restart of the 2026 Formula 1 season in Miami, we take a look at the predictions made at the end of the winter testing in Bahrain. Who continues in the right direction and who no longer seems so accurate?
Constructor Standings
After the first three races, the votes of our journalists have clarified some aspects. The names that have dominated are:
- 1. Mercedes
- 2. Ferrari
- 3. McLaren
- 4. Haas
- 5. Alpine
- 6. Red Bull
- 7. Racing Bulls
- 8. Audi
- 9. Williams
- 10. Cadillac
- 11. Aston Martin
There are no surprises at the top of the table. Experts point out that Mercedes continues to show an advantage, although its decline in power may be gradual. In particular, McLaren has improved in terms of understanding its power and has pushed its chassis development.
Driver Standings
In the individual driver standings, the impressions have been quite varied. After three races, the top spots are:
- 1. Kimi Antonelli
- 2. George Russell
- 3. Charles Leclerc
- 4. Lando Norris
- 5. Lewis Hamilton
The big surprise has been Kimi Antonelli, who has exceeded expectations and leads the standings, demonstrating exceptional performance. The other drivers, like Russell and Leclerc, remain competitive, but Antonelli has made clear his intention to fight for the title.
Expectations for the race in Miami are high, with the possibility that the dynamics of the season will change as teams incorporate improvements to their vehicles.
