After Singapore Grand Prix qualifying, Kimi Antonelli leads George Russell 12-11 in Mercedes’ 2026 qualifying head-to-head, including sprint qualifying. Across Grand Prix qualifying sessions alone, Antonelli is ahead 10-7. He was fourth in Singapore, with Russell sixth.
Russell was second in Singapore sprint qualifying and Antonelli seventh; that session is included in the overall tally. Motorsport.com’s comparison counts qualifying results, not starting-grid positions, so grid penalties do not change the figures.
Max Verstappen leads Isack Hadjar 15-4 overall and 10-4 without sprint qualifying. At McLaren, Lando Norris leads Oscar Piastri 16-7 overall (11-6 excluding sprint qualifying); Charles Leclerc leads Lewis Hamilton 12-11 at Ferrari (9-8 without sprint qualifying).
