2026 F1 constructors’ standings after Hungarian GP: Ferrari trail Mercedes by 72 points. Full 2026 F1 team standings following the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Ferrari remain second in the 2026 F1 constructors’ standings after the Hungarian Grand Prix, but a highly questionable race execution and several mistakes from Lewis Hamilton left the Scuderia with fewer points than it could have collected. Mercedes continue to lead the championship with 379 points, while Ferrari sit 72 points behind on 307.

McLaren emerged revitalised from the Hungaroring and consolidated third place with 220 points. Ferrari still hold a substantial 87-point advantage over the reigning champions, but the Hungarian weekend represented a missed opportunity to apply greater pressure to Mercedes at the top of the table.

McLaren bounce back as Ferrari waste valuable points

Ferrari entered the weekend knowing that outscoring Mercedes was a major Hungarian GP objective. The Scuderia began the race 73 points behind the championship leaders and reduced that deficit by only one point, despite starting both Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton ahead of the two Mercedes drivers.

The Hungarian GP starting grid had created a promising opportunity for Ferrari, with Charles Leclerc on the front row and Lewis Hamilton fifth. However, poor execution combined with a mistake-filled race from Lewis Hamilton prevented the team from maximising its potential points haul.

Ferrari nevertheless remain Mercedes’ closest challengers in the constructors’ championship. The 72-point gap is significant but leaves the Scuderia firmly in contention, while its 87-point cushion over McLaren provides some protection in second place.

Behind the leading three, Red Bull occupy fourth with 177 points, 43 behind McLaren. Racing Bulls lead the midfield contest on 66 points, just five ahead of Alpine, while Haas, Audi and Williams complete the teams with double-digit totals. Aston Martin have one point, with Cadillac still waiting to score.

The result leaves Ferrari with a clear lesson from the Hungarian Grand Prix: possessing a favourable starting position is not enough unless the team and drivers execute the race cleanly enough to convert it into a meaningful championship gain.
