2026 Momentum Tracker
F1 Form Guide
The championship table tells you who has scored the most points this year. The Form Guide tells you who is hot right now. We track every driver's last five races to reveal who is on the rise, who is slumping, and who is riding a streak — measured after 14 rounds of the 2026 season, up to the Spanish Grand Prix at Madrid.
On the Rise
Drivers whose recent results are trending sharply upward — climbing the order or scoring well above their early-season baseline.
Slumping
Drivers heading the other way — recent finishes sliding backward or falling below what their season has promised.
The Full Form Table
Every driver ranked by Form Rating. Last 5 shows finishing positions in Belgium, Hungary, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain (oldest → newest). Trend reflects the direction of those results, not their raw quality — a front-runner can be steady while a midfielder rockets up the order. Tap any column header to sort.
| # | Driver | Team | Last 5 Results | Trend | Recent Pts | Season Avg | Form Rating▼ |
|---|
Recent Pts = championship points scored across the last five races. Season Avg = points per race across all 14 rounds (sprint points included in the season total). A driver scoring well above their season average is in a purple patch; below it, a dip. DNFs count as a back-of-grid finish for trend and rating.
Streaks to Watch
The runs that define a season-within-a-season — the hot streaks carrying drivers to the front, and the cold streaks they are desperate to break.
Lando Norris
A window of P5, P1, P1, P4, P3 built around back-to-back wins at the Hungaroring and Zandvoort, capped by the first-ever Madring pole — taken by 0.011 seconds — and a podium in Madrid. The run lifts Norris to third in the championship on 191 points, level with Hamilton.
Kimi Antonelli
Eight wins in fourteen races, the latest two back-to-back: 19th to first at Monza, then a VSC-perfect victory in the first Formula 1 race ever held in Madrid. He now leads on 292 points, 81 clear of Russell, with a Form Rating of 98.
Lewis Hamilton
A brake failure on lap 7 in Madrid ended a run of scoring in every race since Spa — a window of P4, P5, P4, P6, DNF. The zero cost Hamilton third in the championship: he stays on 191 points, now level with Norris and behind him on wins countback.
George Russell
The summer has restarted Russell's season: a Zandvoort sprint win, second at Monza in the Mercedes 1-2 and the fastest lap on his way to fifth in Madrid. The run keeps him second in the championship on 211 points, 20 clear of the Norris–Hamilton fight.
Max Verstappen
Back-to-back podiums since his Zandvoort crash: third at Monza, then second in Madrid after passing Norris late on. He sits sixth in the championship on 145 points, still hunting a first win of the new era — but the recovery is real.
Charles Leclerc
Fourth in Madrid was a tidy rebound from the Parabolica crash that ended his Monza on lap 2 — and with Hamilton's brake failure it made Leclerc Ferrari's only scorer of the weekend. He holds fifth in the championship on 167 points.
How the Form Rating Works
The Form Rating is a 1–100 score that answers a simple question: how good is this driver right now? It is built from each driver's last five races and rewards two things at once — the quality of those finishes and their direction.
A driver who finishes on the podium every weekend scores in the 80s and 90s. A driver climbing from the midfield toward the points earns a momentum bonus that lifts their rating above their raw results. A driver sliding backward — or retiring — is marked down. DNFs are treated as a last-place finish, because in form terms a zero hurts.
Crucially, the Trend arrow is separate from the rating. Trend measures the slope of a driver's recent finishes — are results getting better or worse across the five-race window? That's why a dominant leader can sit at "steady" (already at the front, nowhere higher to climb) while a recovering midfielder shows a green up-arrow.
Reading the indicators
Form Guide — FAQ
What is the F1 Form Guide?
It's a momentum tracker. Instead of ranking drivers by their season-long points total, it ranks them by recent results — the last five races — to show who is improving, who is declining, and who is on a hot or cold streak.
How is the Form Rating calculated?
It blends the quality of a driver's last five finishes with their trajectory across the window. Front-running, improving drivers score near 100; poor or worsening runs score low. DNFs are counted as a back-of-grid finish, so retirements drag the rating down.
Why is the Trend arrow different from the Form Rating?
The rating measures how good results are; the trend measures which way they're heading. A championship leader already at the front can be "steady" with a high rating, while a midfielder climbing fast shows a rising arrow with a lower rating.
Which driver has the best form in 2026?
After 14 rounds, Kimi Antonelli tops the table on a rating of 98 — his window includes wins at Spa, Monza and Madrid, the Monza victory from 19th on the grid. Lando Norris follows on 91 after taking the first Madring pole and a podium in Spain.
How often is the Form Guide updated?
The window rolls forward with the season — each new Grand Prix drops the oldest race and adds the latest, so the picture always reflects the most recent five rounds. This snapshot is current to the Spanish Grand Prix at Madrid, round 14 of 2026.
