F1 2026赛季至今最佳驾驶：编辑评选出炉
2026年F1新规则实施后，梅赛德斯领跑车队积分榜，安东内利位居车手榜首，但编辑团队指出多位车手也有出色表现，并评选出赛季至今的最佳驾驶。
据我们的撰稿人评选：2026赛季迄今最佳车手表现
梅赛德斯今年可能统治着F1两座冠军奖杯的争夺，但在2026赛季上半程，表现出色的并不只有他们的车手
2026年，随着底盘、空气动力学和动力单元方面全面新规的推出，F1的竞争格局被彻底打乱。梅赛德斯脱颖而出，目前领跑车队积分榜，而安东内利则位居车手积分榜榜首。
但这支车队今年并非无懈可击，来自整个发车格各处车手的强劲表现表明，2026年的F1仍有太多值得争夺的东西。在此，我们回顾一下本赛季迄今的一些最佳驾驶表现，这些表现证明在2026年的F1中，一位出色的车手依然能够改变战局。
刘易斯·汉密尔顿与巴塞罗那-加泰罗尼亚大奖赛
从第一节自由练习开始，法拉利在巴塞罗那取得成功的预兆就不太乐观——刘易斯·汉密尔顿缺席了这一节，因为他不得不把赛车交给迪诺·贝加诺维奇进行赛季规定的新秀车手试驾环节之一；而夏尔·勒克莱尔在该节做出第三快的成绩，尽管比乔治·拉塞尔领跑全场的梅赛德斯慢了半秒。这一切都发生在一个法拉利又带来另一套升级套件的周末。
随后汉密尔顿在令人失望的第二节自由练习中比绝对最快 配速 慢了超过一秒，并大声抱怨轮胎衰退非常严重。2026 年已经越来越明显的是，由于操作新动力单元的各种细微要求，缺席一节练习比过去更加不利，即便是在像巴塞罗那这样以汉密尔顿的经验水平闭着眼睛都能跑的赛道上。
直到他在第三节自由练习与排位赛之间进行了一次他所说的“重置”——他甚至完全离开了围场——之后，汉密尔顿才找回状态，最终因为在 1 号弯入弯过度而以毫秒之差与杆位失之交臂。精准控制制动输入的手感一直是汉密尔顿的核心技能，而恰好 SF-26 的优势正契合他，尤其是在这条赛道占主导地位的中速弯角中。
在正赛中，法拉利用软胎起步的策略打乱了梅赛德斯的部署，汉密尔顿使用的是一套用过的倍耐力软胎——因为只有旧胎可用。虽然这没有达到预期的效果，即让刘易斯在起步时抢下领先并占据赛道位置，但他把一个明显的三停策略执行得非常完美。
与此同时，梅赛德斯原计划的两停策略被打乱：当汉密尔顿相对较早进站时，他们让拉塞尔进站以防范潜在的提前进站。但随着比赛进行，拉塞尔和队友安东内利开始互相缠斗，而梅赛德斯的维修区墙仍然把诺里斯的迈凯伦视为主要威胁，汉密尔顿则把中间几段跑得非常出色，为自己铺平了通往胜利的道路。
一次及时出动的虚拟安全车让汉密尔顿以很小的代价进站换上最后一套硬胎。由于两位梅赛德斯车手此前已提前进站，他当时正处于领跑位置，进站后依然保住了领先；如果是在绿旗条件下，他出来后很可能落到第四，排在拉塞尔、安东内利和诺里斯之后。但即便如此，他也会在轮胎寿命上占优，而且他的速度本来就足以赢得比赛。
刘易斯一生中已经打破了许多纪录，他为法拉利夺得的第一个分站冠军（加上去年在中国站冲刺赛的胜利）又创造了一项新纪录：自1970年的杰克·布拉汉姆以来最年长的分站冠军得主。在他退役之前，说不定还会再次刷新这项纪录……
如果还有人怀疑安东内利应对压力的能力或他争夺总冠军的资历，那么这位意大利车手六月在这条著名街道上的表现，无疑彻底打消了这些疑虑。
首先说排位赛。梅赛德斯在周末早些时候的各节练习与排位中显得有些脆弱，因为在如此狭窄的赛道上，操控性和下压力往往比动力更重要——或者按本赛季的情况来说，比聪明的电力管理更重要。本土英雄勒克莱尔曾三次在摩纳哥拿下杆位，他驾驶的据信适合这条赛道的法拉利在第一节排位中名列第一。四届世界冠军维斯塔潘为红牛在第二节排位中拔得头筹。
但安东内利在第三节排位中做出了惊人的一圈，力压维斯塔潘夺得杆位，比队友兼总冠军竞争对手拉塞尔快了近0.4秒，领先五个发车位。
到了正赛，安东内利表现得炉火纯青，似乎对压力完全免疫，看起来纯粹是在享受驾驶他的W17在这片公国街道上飞驰的感觉。没错，维斯塔潘的红牛在发车时出了故障，但安东内利身后仍有七届世界冠军汉密尔顿在紧追不舍。
安东内利从一开始就保持领先——一扫本赛季早些时候起步不佳的颓势——并在比赛大部分时间里不断甩开车阵。他领先近半分钟，而且已经套圈了拉塞尔（后者深陷车流之中，且整场比赛罚时不断），随后兰斯·斯特罗尔撞车引出安全车，而勒克莱尔也发生撞车，比赛随后暂停。
安东内利因此失去了巨大的领先优势，还要面对一次静止起步。如果那成为他失败的根源，那将是一场闹剧，但这并没有发生。他只是再次发力并拉开差距，在第76圈做出最快单圈，比整个下午其他任何人的成绩都快1.2秒。这就是实力。
安东内利可能要过很久才能在一级方程式里拿下一次更漂亮的胜利。不过，也可能很快……
马克斯·维斯塔潘在奥地利大奖赛
看到世界上最出色的车手在车手锦标赛中只排名第六，确实让人感到奇怪，但这正是维斯塔潘在2026赛季所面临的处境，原因就是那辆让他沮丧的小红牛22。这辆红牛赛车在赛季开始时就存在重量问题，而随着赛季的推进，其他问题也陆续浮现——比如极其狭窄的工作窗口。
这导致红牛在车队积分榜上跌至第四，但这丝毫不能抹杀维斯塔潘的能力，因为在极少数小红牛22找到良好工作窗口的情况下，这位四届世界冠军总能挺身而出交出成绩。
例如，蒙特利尔站是他本赛季首次登上领奖台，而且他还在最近两场比赛中——斯帕和布达佩斯——取得了前三名。不过他在2026年四次登上领奖台中的第二次，即第八站奥地利站，可以说是最令人印象深刻的一次，因为那场比赛他差点就能在红牛环赛道创下延长纪录的第六场胜利。
显然，事情的开局并不顺利：排位赛第三节（Q3）尾声因尾翼问题发生撞车，使他从发车 发车区（发车顺位）的第三位跌至第五位，但维斯塔潘在第二圈就迅速完成对安东内利和勒克莱尔的连续超越，完成了恢复。
老对手汉密尔顿成为维斯塔潘的下一个目标，在两次几乎如出一辙的轮对轮缠斗之后，维斯塔潘终于在第22圈夺得第二名，并迅速逼近拉塞尔。但就在他把差距缩小到两秒时，梅赛德斯让这位英国车手进站，而红牛却犯了错误，让维斯塔潘多留在赛道上五圈。
说这是个错误，是因为这位荷兰车手重新出站时落后了10秒，等于回到了原点。维斯塔潘依然追击拉塞尔，在最后11圈里把差距缩小到仅1.6秒，只留下红牛去懊悔本来可以取得的成果。
如果不是那次错误的战略决策，维斯塔潘那天很可能就能轻松夺冠。所以这绝对是一场冠军级的表现。
皮亚斯特里在日本大奖赛
暂停一下，试着想一想，奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里上一次赢得一级方程式大奖赛是什么时候？可能要想一会儿……会是赞德沃特，差不多一年前吗？没错，就是那一场。
2025年8月31日，几乎是我们最后一次看到那个看起来像未来世界冠军的皮亚斯特里。那一天，队友诺里斯因漏油退赛，把这位澳大利亚车手的积分领先优势扩大到34分——这个数字在当时看起来是决定性的。其实无论如何皮亚斯特里都会赢下那场比赛，因为那时他显然是迈凯伦更快的那位车手。无论在比赛中还是在冠军争夺战里，他都比诺里斯更胜一筹。
之后无论发生了什么，在比赛日的星期天，我们几乎再也没见过同样的皮亚斯特里出现在赛道上。除了今年3月底在日本的那一天。
在墨尔本跑出场外圈时撞车令人失望，中国站又未能起步（DNS），在2025年冠军争夺战中惨痛失利之后，奥斯卡似乎成了一个时运不济的人。但铃鹿的一切特征，都像极了皮亚斯特里2025年的开局。
在整个三节排位赛中，他都稳定地比诺里斯快——大约快出四分之一秒——而自从那个赞德沃特周末以来，这种表现一直很罕见。接着是一次出色的起步，更令人印象深刻的是，这其实是他今年第一次做到：他利用梅赛德斯两位车手缓慢的起步，把发车位的第三名转化成了领跑。第八圈与拉塞尔的一次拉锯时刻，让这位澳大利亚车手把领先位置保持了更久，尽管梅赛德斯当时显然拥有本赛季最快的赛车。
“如果我们能守住赛道位置，我认为我们能撑住，”他在第15圈前后向维修区报告道，语气就像飞行员告知乘客航班将准点抵达一样。
在完成进站之后，他轻松地保持在拉塞尔之前领跑，但事与愿违——奥利弗·比尔曼的严重撞车在恰好对安东内利有利的时刻触发了安全车，让后者得以低成本进站并超过他们两人。
在那之后，他虽然无法与这位意大利车手抗衡，但皮亚斯特里只是远离了那群缠斗的法拉利和拉塞尔，任由他们去争夺最后一个领奖台位置。诺里斯连边都沾不上。
乔治·拉塞尔在澳大利亚大奖赛
这个赛季显然没有像拉塞尔预期的那样发展，他目前在车手积分榜上排名第三，落后积分榜领先的队友安东内利59分。但是，正如奥列格以皮亚斯特里为例正确提到的那样，曾经有一段时间，这位梅赛德斯车手看起来就像是等待加冕的世界冠军，那就是2026年在墨尔本举行的揭幕战。
拉塞尔理所当然地以赛季前夺冠热门的身份来到这里，他也用杆位证明了自己：银箭车队包揽排位赛前两名，他比安东内利快了0.3秒，比驾驶红牛排名第三的伊萨克·哈贾尔快了占据绝对优势的0.8秒。
这正是F1在2025年见过的那个拉塞尔，也是2026年备受期待的那个拉塞尔：一位赢得过分站冠军的老将，如今正准备向自己的首个车手总冠军发起冲击。“很棒的一天，”他自信地说。“我们知道这辆赛车潜力很大，但除非到了赛季的第一个周六，否则你永远无法确定。不过今天下午它真正展现出了实力。”

The best drives of F1 2026 so far, according to our writers
Mercedes may be dominating both F1 championships this year, but its drivers aren't the only ones who have put in stellar performances in the first half of the 2026 season
Formula 1’s competitive order was shaken up in 2026 with the roll out of sweeping new regulations across the chassis, aerodynamics and power units. Mercedes came out on top, with it now leading the constructors’ standings and Kimi Antonelli is on top in the drivers’ championship.
But the team hasn’t been bulletproof this year, and strong performances from drivers up and down the grid have shown that there’s still a lot at stake in F1 2026. Here, we look back on some of the best drives of the year so far, which show that a great driver can still make a difference in F1 2026.
Lewis Hamilton at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix
The auguries for Ferrari success in Barcelona were not great from FP1 onwards – a session Lewis Hamilton missed, on account of having to give his car to Dino Beganovic for one of the seasonal ‘rookie runs’, and in which Charles Leclerc was third fastest, albeit half a second off the pacesetting Mercedes of George Russell. All this on a weekend in which Ferrari added yet another upgrade package.
Hamilton was then over a second off the absolute pace in a disappointing FP2, complaining volubly about terrible tyre degradation. It’s becoming evident in 2026 that, owing to the subtleties of operating the new power units, missing a session is more disadvantageous than it used to be, even at tracks such as this one, which a veteran of Hamilton’s calibre could lap blindfolded.
Only after what he described as a “reset” between FP3 and qualifying – where he left the paddock entirely – did Hamilton find his groove, missing pole position by a matter of milliseconds after overcommitting into Turn 1. A precise feel for modulating brake input has long been a Hamilton core skill, and it so happened that the SF-26’s strengths aligned with his through the medium-speed corners that predominate at this track.
In the race, Ferrari wrongfooted Mercedes by starting Hamilton on soft-compound Pirellis of which only used sets were available. Though this didn’t have the desired effect of enabling Lewis to snatch the lead at the start and establish track position, he managed what was clearly a three-stop strategy perfectly.
Mercedes, meanwhile, bent its planned two-stopper out of shape by pitting Russell to cover the potential undercut when Hamilton stopped relatively early. But as Russell and team-mate Antonelli began to fight one another as the race wore on, while the Merc pitwall continued to view the McLaren of Lando Norris as the main threat, Hamilton executed his middle stints perfectly to set himself up for victory.
A timely virtual safety car enabled Hamilton to pit cheaply for his final set of hards. Earlier stops for the Mercedes duo had left him running in the lead and he was able to stop and retain it, whereas in green-flag conditions he would probably have emerged in fourth place behind Russell, Antonelli and Norris. But even then he would have enjoyed a tyre-life offset and he had the pace to win anyhow.
Lewis has broken many records in his life and his first grand prix victory for Ferrari (to add to his sprint win in China last year) set a new one: the oldest driver to win a GP since Jack Brabham in 1970. He may just break that record again before he retires…
If there were any doubts about Antonelli’s ability to cope with pressure or his championship credentials, the Italian’s performance around the famous streets in June surely banished them.
Firstly, qualifying. Mercedes looked vulnerable earlier in the weekend on such a tight circuit where handling and downforce tend to trump power – or, this season, clever electrical power management. Local hero Leclerc, thrice a Monaco polesitter and driving a Ferrari believed to suit the circuit, topped Q1. Four-time world champion Max Verstappen topped Q2 for Red Bull.
But Antonelli pulled out a Q3 lap to pip Verstappen to pole, five spots and nearly 0.4 seconds faster than team-mate and title rival Russell.
Come the race, Antonelli was masterful, seemed impervious to pressure and appeared to simply enjoy throwing his W17 around the principality. Yes, Verstappen’s Red Bull failed at the start, but Antonelli still had seven-time world champion Hamilton chasing him.
Antonelli held the lead from the off – defying his poor getaways earlier in the campaign – and spent most of the race driving away from the field. He was almost half a minute clear and had lapped Russell, mired in traffic and in the midst of a penalty-riddle run, when Lance Stroll crashed and brought out the safety car, which then led to a stoppage after Leclerc shunted too.
Antonelli thus lost his enormous lead and faced another standing start. It would have been a travesty had that been his downfall, but it didn’t happen. He simply took off again and pulled away, setting a fastest lap on the 76th tour that was 1.2s quicker than anyone else managed all afternoon. Class.
It might be a while before Antonelli takes a better win in F1. Then again, it might not...
Max Verstappen at the Austrian Grand Prix
It’s strange seeing the best driver in the world sit sixth in the championship, but that is the situation presented to Verstappen in the 2026 campaign due to his frustrating RB22. The Red Bull started the year with a weight problem and, as the season has progressed, other issues have emerged - like an extremely narrow operating window.
That has slumped it to fourth in the constructors’ standings, but it is taking nothing away from Verstappen’s capabilities because on the rare occasion the RB22 has found that good operating window, the four-time world champion has been on hand to deliver.
Montreal, for example, was his first podium of the season and he’s also achieved a top three finish in the last two: Spa and Budapest. But his second of four podiums in 2026, Austria round eight, was arguably his most impressive because it so easily could have been a record-extending sixth victory for him at the Red Bull Ring.
Things obviously didn’t start particularly well as a crash late in Q3 - caused by a rear wing issue - demoted him from third to fifth on the starting grid, but Verstappen had recovered with a quick double overtake on Antonelli and Leclerc during lap two.
Old title foe Hamilton was next in his sight and after two near-identical wheel-to-wheel battles, Verstappen finally took second come lap 22 before rapidly closing in on Russell. But just as he cut the gap to two seconds, Mercedes pitted the Briton with Red Bull making the mistake of keeping Verstappen out for five extra laps.
A mistake because the Dutchman rejoined 10s behind, putting him back to square one. Verstappen still sought after Russell and cut the deficit to just 1.6s across the final 11 laps, leaving Red Bull to think about what could have been.
If it weren’t for that wrong strategic call, Verstappen could easily have taken victory that day. So it was very much a champion-like performance.
Oscar Piastri at the Japanese Grand Prix
Pause for a moment and try to think when was the last time Oscar Piastri won a Formula 1 Grand Prix? It may take a while… Could it be Zandvoort, almost a year ago? Yep, that’s the one.
31 August 2025 was pretty much the last day we saw the Piastri who looked like a world champion in the making. That day, team-mate Norris retired due to an oil leak, stretching the Australian’s championship lead to a massive - and, it seemed at the time, decisive - 34 points. Piastri would’ve won that race regardless, as at that point he was clearly the faster McLaren driver. He had Norris covered - both in the race and in the title fight.
Whatever happened next, we’ve almost never seen the same Piastri show up at a race track on a racing Sunday. Bar a single day at the end of March this year in Japan.
After a disappointing crash on the lap to the grid in Melbourne and a DNS in China, Oscar seemed like a man who couldn’t catch a break after spectacularly losing out in the 2025 title battle. But Suzuka had all the hallmarks of the start of 2025 for Piastri.
He was consistently faster - by around a quarter of a second across all three qualifying segments - than Norris, something that has been a rarity since that same Zandvoort weekend. Then came an exceptional start, made even more impressive by the fact it was actually his first of the year, capitalising on the Mercedes pair’s slow getaway to convert P3 on the grid into the lead. Then a yo-yo moment with Russell on lap eight saw the Australian keep the lead for longer, despite Mercedes clearly having the fastest car at that point in the season.
“If we hold track position, I think we can hang on to this,” he then reported back to the pitlane by lap 15, with the tone of an aircraft pilot informing the passengers that the flight will arrive right on time.
He comfortably kept the lead over Russell after the pitstops, but it simply wasn’t meant to be - Oliver Bearman’s massive crash caused a safety car at exactly the right moment for Antonelli to get a cheap stop and leapfrog both.
While he couldn’t fight the Italian after that, Piastri simply kept clear of the pack of battling Ferraris and Russell, leaving them to scramble for the final podium position. Norris wasn’t even close to it.
George Russell at the Australian Grand Prix
This season has obviously not gone as expected for Russell, who is third in the standings with a 59-point deficit to his championship-leading team-mate Antonelli. But, as Oleg rightfully mentioned with Piastri, there was a time when the Mercedes driver looked like a world champion in waiting and that was the 2026 opener in Melbourne.
Russell understandably arrived as the pre-season title favourite and he backed it up by taking pole in a Silver Arrows 1-2, three tenths ahead of Antonelli and a dominant eight tenths over third-placed Isack Hadjar in the Red Bull.
It was the Russell that F1 had seen in 2025 and the one that was expected for 2026: a grand prix winning veteran now primed for his maiden title tilt. “A great day,” he confidently said. “We knew there was a lot of potential in the car, but until you get to this first Saturday of the season, you never know. But it really came alive this afternoon.”
