Drivers’ standing after 20 races

Three-time Drivers’ champion Max Verstappen continues to be in the lead with 362 points. His nearest rival is McLaren’s Lando Norris, who has 315 points to his credit and still stands a chance of pipping Verstappen with 4 races to go. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, with 291 points, is in third position. Rounding off the top 5 are Oscar Piastri with 251 points and Carlos Sainz Jr with 240.

How the teams are faring

McLaren continues to be in the lead (566), but Ferrari is closing the gap and is only 29 points shy at 537. Last year’s Constructors’ Champion Red Bull Racing is in third place with 512 points, but is unlikely to be able to defend the title in the last stretch of the season. The competition is between McLaren and Ferrari, with the drivers of both teams – Norris and Piastri and Leclerc and Sainz, respectively – consistently in the top 5 or top 10 results.
