CLN · Errors & penalties ledger
CleanlinessF1 cleanliness ranking, 2026
A ledger of driver errors and sanctions across the race weekend, converted to a single cleanliness dial. Unlike the other scores this one starts from a flawless weekend — every mistake or penalty subtracts from it, so a spotless race sits at the top of the grade and each incident pulls it down.

A race grade rates one afternoon; a season grade rates a driver across the year against the rest of the grid. They answer different questions, so the season figure is not the row added up. – = not classified that race, never counted towards the season.

top 10 driver-race gradesHow the grid reads on Cleanliness in 2026
This season, George Russell leads Cleanliness: 9.52 against the grid, across 15 rated races. The single best Cleanliness performance of the year belongs to Charles Leclerc — 10.0 at the MEL.
At the top. George Russell leads Cleanliness on 9.52, 0.45 clear of Isack Hadjar on 9.07. 23 drivers have enough running to be rated, and the field runs from 9.52 down to 6.61 — a spread of 2.91 of a grade point.
The speciality. Isack Hadjar is P2 on Cleanliness but only P21 on The Index overall — 19 places better here than at everything else put together.
The soft spot. Kimi Antonelli runs the other way: P2 on The Index but only P17 here, 15 places worse.
Same car, same measure. The tightest team-mate pair on the grid is Cadillac — Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas separated by just 0.01. The widest is Mercedes, where George Russell is 1.76 ahead of Kimi Antonelli.
What this number is not. Cleanliness is one of nine independent measures, and a driver can lead it while sitting mid-table overall. It is a rating against the rest of the grid this season, not against history.
