F1 2026 driver and constructor standings updated after the Austrian Grand Prix

The 2026 Austrian Grand Prix has officially concluded, bringing another significant shake-up to both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championship standings.

At the Red Bull Ring, George Russell claimed an impressive victory ahead of Max Verstappen and teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli, completing a dominant afternoon for Mercedes. Russell’s triumph not only added another win to the Silver Arrows’ campaign but also allowed the British driver to reclaim second place in the Drivers’ Championship, overtaking seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.

Ferrari endured a much more difficult race than expected after showing promising pace in qualifying. As a result, Mercedes has further strengthened its advantage at the top of the Constructors’ standings, while McLaren and Red Bull continue to reduce the gap behind the Scuderia.
