Head-to-head · season 2026
F1 team mate head-to-heads 2026, all nine measures
Team mates share a car, which makes them the only pair on the grid you can compare without arguing about machinery — and the reason a team-mate battle is the truest read on a driver there is. Every pairing below is compared across all nine performance measures, round by round, not just on the qualifying scoreboard. The closest fight on the grid is at Audi, just 0.10 apart; the most one-sided is Red Bull Racing, where Max Verstappen is 2.42 clear of Liam Lawson.
