2026 F1 championship standings after Singapore Grand Prix
Ferrari strengthens lead
Ferrari strengthened its position behind Mercedes after Leclerc finished second and Hamilton added further points. The combined result gave Ferrari a more secure cushion over the teams immediately behind it.
Red Bull closes gap
Red Bull’s recent results have narrowed the distance to the front of the constructors’ standings. Verstappen’s form is supplying much of the momentum, but the team’s final position will depend on whether its second car can contribute consistently.
Late season stakes
The late-season standings remain sensitive to reliability and both-car scoring. A retirement or poor qualifying result for a leading team could quickly alter the order before the championship concludes.
