据我们撰稿人的评选，2026年F1赛季迄今为止的最佳表现
全新的技术时代在2026年撼动了格局，但这些表现表明，在F1中，工程优势并不是一切
刘易斯·汉密尔顿（法拉利）、马克斯·维斯塔潘（红牛车队）
2026年，随着底盘、空气动力学和动力单元全面新规的推出，F1的竞争格局被彻底改变。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总冠军榜首。
但这支车队今年并非无懈可击，而全围场车手们的出色表现表明，2026赛季的一级方程式仍然充满悬念。在此，我们回顾一下本赛季至今的一些最佳驾驶表现，这些表现说明一位伟大的车手在2026赛季的一级方程式中依然能够起到决定性作用。
刘易斯·汉密尔顿在巴塞罗那-加泰罗尼亚大奖赛
从第一次自由练习开始，法拉利在巴塞罗那取得成功的征兆就不太乐观——刘易斯·汉密尔顿缺席了那一节练习，因为他必须把赛车交给迪诺·贝加诺维奇，以完成本赛季规定的“新秀练习”，而在那一节中，夏尔·勒克莱尔位列第三快，尽管比乔治·拉塞尔领跑的梅赛德斯慢了半秒。这一切都发生在一个法拉利又带来一整套升级套件的周末。
随后汉密尔顿在令人失望的第二次自由练习中比绝对速度慢了一秒多，他大声抱怨轮胎衰退严重得可怕。2026赛季越来越明显的是，由于操作新动力单元的种种微妙之处，缺席一节练习的劣势比以往更大，即使是在巴塞罗那-加泰罗尼亚赛道这样的地方——以汉密尔顿这种级别老将的经验，闭着眼睛都能跑。
直到他在第三次自由练习和排位赛之间进行了一次他所谓的“重置”——期间他完全离开了围场——汉密尔顿才找回状态，最终因为在1号弯刹车过深入弯过度而以几毫秒之差错失杆位。对刹车力度进行精细调节的精准感觉一直是汉密尔顿的核心技能，而这恰好与SF-26在这条赛道上以中速弯为主导的特点相契合，赛车的优势与他的长处完美对上了。
正赛中，法拉利让汉密尔顿使用一套只有旧胎可用的软胎倍耐力起步，以此打乱了梅赛德斯的部署。虽然这没有达到让刘易斯在发车时抢下领跑位置并占据赛道位置的理想效果，但他完美执行了这套明显是三停的策略。
与此同时，梅赛德斯则偏离了原定的两停计划：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挤压战术。但随着比赛进行，拉塞尔和队友安东内利开始互相缠斗，而梅赛德斯的维修站指挥墙仍继续把兰多·诺里斯的迈凯伦视为主要威胁，汉密尔顿则完美跑好了中间几段赛段，为胜利奠定了基础。
一次及时的虚拟安全车让汉密尔顿得以低成本进站换上他的最后一套硬胎。梅赛德斯两位车手更早的进站让他处于领跑位置，他得以进站并保住领先，而如果在绿旗条件下，他出站后很可能会落到拉塞尔、安东内利和诺里斯之后的第四位。不过即便如此，他也会享有轮胎寿命上的优势，而且他本来就有夺冠的速度。
刘易斯一生中已经打破了许多纪录，而他为法拉利赢得的首场大奖赛胜利（加上去年在中国赢得的冲刺赛胜利）又创造了一项新纪录：自1970年杰克·布拉汉姆以来，夺得大奖赛冠军的年龄最大的车手。在退役之前，他可能还会再次刷新这项纪录……
如果还有人怀疑安东内利承受压力的能力或他争夺总冠军的资格，那么这位意大利车手六月在著名街道赛道上的表现，肯定消除了这些疑虑。
首先是排位赛。梅赛德斯在这个周末早些时候看起来很脆弱，因为这是一条非常狭窄的赛道，操控性和下压力往往比动力更重要——或者按本赛季来说，比聪明的电力管理更重要。本地英雄勒克莱尔曾三次在摩纳哥夺得杆位，而且他所驾驶的法拉利被认为很适合这条赛道，他在第一节排位赛中占据榜首。四届世界冠军马克斯·维斯塔潘驾驶红牛在第二节排位赛中排名第一。
但安东内利在第三节排位赛中跑出了一圈绝佳成绩，以微弱优势击败维斯塔潘夺得杆位，比队友兼冠军竞争对手拉塞尔快了五个名次，并快了近0.4秒。
正式比赛开始后，安东内利表现得驾轻就熟，似乎对压力免疫，看起来纯粹是在享受驾驶他的W17在这座公国飞驰的乐趣。是的，维斯塔潘的红牛起步时出了问题，但安东内利身后依然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守住了领先位置——一扫他在本赛季早些时候起步不佳的颓势——并且在大半场比赛中不断拉开与车群的距离。他领先了近半分钟，甚至套圈了拉塞尔——拉塞尔被困在车流中，还被各种判罚缠身——随后斯特罗尔撞车触发了安全车，接着勒克莱尔也撞了车，导致比赛一度中断。
就这样，安东内利失去了巨大的领先优势，并面临又一次原地起步发车。如果这成为他失败的根源，那将是一大憾事，但这种情况并没有发生。他只是再次干净利落地驶离并拉开差距，在第76圈刷出了全场最快圈速，比整个下午其他任何车手的最好成绩都要快1.2秒。这就是实力。
距离安东内利在F1中拿下一场更漂亮的分站冠军，可能还需要一段时间。不过话说回来，也可能不需要……
马克斯·维斯塔潘在奥地利大奖赛
看到世界上最优秀的车手在积分榜上仅排第六感觉很奇怪，但由于令人沮丧的小红牛22，这就是维斯塔潘在2026赛季所面临的处境。这辆红牛赛车赛季初就存在重量问题，随着赛季推进，其他问题也相继出现——比如极其狭窄的工作窗口。
这使车队在车队积分榜上跌至第四，但这丝毫不能否定维斯塔潘的能力，因为在小红牛22难得找到良好工作窗口的时候，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，而最近两站斯帕和布达佩斯他也都取得了前三名。但他2026年四个领奖台中的第二个——第八站奥地利站——可以说是最令人印象深刻的，因为那次他差一点就能在红牛环赛道续写纪录、拿下第六场胜利。
事情显然开局不太顺利，第三节排位赛临近结束时的一场撞车——由尾翼问题引发——使他从第三位跌到发车发车区（发车顺序）的第五位，但维斯塔潘在第二圈迅速连续超越安东内利和勒克莱尔，成功实现了反击。
下一个进入他视线的是昔日的争冠对手汉密尔顿，在两次几乎完全相同的轮对轮较量之后，维斯塔潘终于在第二圈拿下第二位，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，而红牛却犯下错误，让维斯塔潘在场上多跑了五圈。
之所以说是错误，是因为这位荷兰车手重新出站时落后了10秒，一切又回到了原点。维斯塔潘依然紧追拉塞尔，在最后11圈里把差距缩小到仅1.6秒，留给红牛去思考本来可能有的结果。
如果不是那次错误的车队策略决定，维斯塔潘那天完全有可能拿下胜利。所以这绝对是一场冠军级别的表现。
奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里在日本大奖赛
请停下来想一想，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……是不是将近一年前的赞德沃特？没错，就是那次。
2025年8月31日差不多是我们最后一次见到那个看起来像未来世界冠军的皮亚斯特里。那天，他的队友诺里斯因机油泄漏退赛，把这位澳大利亚车手的积分榜领先优势扩大到34分——这在当时看来是决定性的巨大优势。其实无论如何皮亚斯特里都会赢下那场比赛，因为那时他明显是迈凯伦车队更快的那位车手。无论在比赛中还是冠军争夺战中，他都比诺里斯强。
此后无论发生了什么，我们几乎再也没有在比赛日的周日赛道上见到同样状态的皮亚斯特里——除了今年3月底在日本的那一天。
继在墨尔本驶向发车区的圈中撞车、又在中国站未能发车之后，皮亚斯特里在2025年冠军争夺战中惨痛失势，看上去似乎一直倒霉透顶。但铃鹿站的种种迹象，恰恰像是2025年赛季初期的重现。
在三个排位赛阶段中，他都始终比诺里斯快出大约0.25秒——自从赞德福特那个周末以来，这种局面已属罕见。接着是一次出色的起步，而更令人印象深刻的是，这其实是他本赛季的第一次顺利起步，他抓住梅赛德斯双车起步缓慢的机会，把发车第三位转化为领跑。随后在第8圈与拉塞尔的一次拉锯中，这位澳大利亚车手把领先优势保持得更久，尽管梅赛德斯显然拥有当时赛季中最快的赛车。
“只要我们守住赛道位置，我觉得我们就能撑住，”他在第15圈左右向车队汇报，语气就像机长通知乘客航班将准点抵达。
在进站之后，他轻松地守住了对拉塞尔的领先，但事与愿违——奥利弗·贝尔曼的严重撞车恰好在最关键的时刻引发了安全车，让安东内利获得了一次低成本进站，从而超越了他们两人。
在那之后他虽然无法再与意大利人竞争，但皮亚斯特里只是避开了法拉利混战的车群和拉塞尔，任由他们去争夺最后一个领奖台席位。诺里斯连这点都没能接近。
乔治·拉塞尔在澳大利亚大奖赛
本赛季对拉塞尔来说显然不如预期，他目前位居积分榜第三，落后积分榜首位的队友安东内利59分。但是，正如奥列格在谈到皮亚斯特里时正确指出的那样，这位梅赛德斯车手曾有一段时间看起来像是未来的世界冠军，那就是2026赛季在墨尔本的揭幕战。
拉塞尔理所当然地以赛季前夺冠热门的身份来到这里，他也用行动证明了这一点：在银箭车队的1-2排位中拿下杆位，领先安东内利三十分之三秒，比第三位红牛车队的伊萨克·哈贾尔快了足足十分之八秒。

The best drives of the 2026 F1 season so far, according to our writers
A new technical era has shaken up the order in 2026, but these drives show that an engineering advantage isn’t everything in F1
Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari, Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing
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.
