F1 Form Guide 2026: Who Arrives in Singapore Hottest?

The F1 form guide 2026 has one loud headline before Singapore: across the four Grands Prix from the Dutch to the Azerbaijan rounds, Mercedes drivers Andrea Kimi Antonelli and George Russell scored 146 points between them. That is almost double McLaren's pair on 74 and more than double Ferrari's 62. The quieter story is the more interesting one. Three drivers scored at almost exactly the same rate per finish, and what separated their totals was not speed but showing up.

F1 form guide 2026: the last four rounds in one table

The window is rounds 12 to 15 of the 2026 season: the Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Azerbaijan Grands Prix. Every number here comes from GridRaces race results for those four Sundays. They count Grand Prix points only, so sprint points are not included, and round 16 in Sepang is left out because its results are not in our database yet. Think of it as a form table, not the championship table.

The table in this piece ranks drivers by points scored in that window. Antonelli scored 78, Russell 68, Lando Norris 52, Max Verstappen 51, Charles Leclerc 34, Lewis Hamilton 28 and Oscar Piastri 22. The cliff between Verstappen and Leclerc is 17 points, which is bigger than the 15 you get for a third place.

Mercedes: eight results, eight top fives

Antonelli finished second, first, first and fifth. Russell finished third, second, fifth and first. Put differently, Mercedes won three of the four Grands Prix, Antonelli in the Italian and Spanish rounds and Russell in Azerbaijan, and every one of their eight results landed inside the top five. The only round they did not win went to Norris in the Netherlands.

Eight results, eight top fives: that is not a hot streak, that is a filing system.

Inside the garage, Antonelli outscored Russell by 10 points over the window, 78 to 68, and his rate of 19.5 points per finish is the highest in the table. His fifth place in Azerbaijan was his only result outside the top two, and it came in the very round his teammate won.

The attendance award: Russell, Norris and Verstappen

Divide each driver's points by the number of rounds where they have a recorded finishing position. Russell: 68 over four rounds is 17.0. Norris: 52 over three is 17.3. Verstappen: 51 over three is 17.0. Those three scoring rates sit within 0.3 points of each other.

So why does Russell lead Norris by 16 points and Verstappen by 17? Because he has a fourth result. Norris won the Dutch Grand Prix, finished fourth in Italy, third in Spain, then has no recorded finish in Azerbaijan. Verstappen has no recorded finish in the Dutch round, then took third, second and second. Take one missing round off each driver's column and the order is mostly about who was there at the chequered flag.

Call it the attendance award. Nobody puts it on a poster, but it pays out in the same points as speed.

One caution: points per recorded finish is not a pace measure. It says how much a driver collects when the car reaches the flag, not how quick the car was.

Ferrari and McLaren: two cars, one problem each

Ferrari's pair scored 62 between them without a podium. Leclerc took fifth, nothing recorded, fourth and fourth for 34 points. Hamilton took fourth, sixth, nothing recorded and sixth for 28. Each driver lost a different round, which is the quietly expensive part: Ferrari was missing a result in two of the four weekends.

Per finish, Leclerc averages 11.3 points and Hamilton 9.3, well under the 17-point cluster of the three drivers above. That gap exists whether or not you count the missing rounds, so it is not just bad luck.

Piastri scored 22 with finishes of sixth, fifth, eighth and 13th. His 13th in Azerbaijan was the worst of the run, and McLaren's total of 74 leans on Norris for just over 70 percent of it.

Does a four-race F1 form guide mean anything?

Fair challenge. Four rounds is a small sample, and the table cannot tell a mechanical failure from a first-lap tangle. We did not break down retirement causes here, so do not read the missing finishes as pace or reliability verdicts. Marina Bay is also none of the four circuits in the window, and street tracks reward different things than the Dutch or Italian rounds did. Points also pay heavily for wins, so one victory, Norris's, can hide a lot of other weekends.

And the Singapore sprint will not tidy this up: sprint points are not in this table, so Saturday is a bonus data point, not an update.

Verdict: who is the form driver for Singapore?

Antonelli, narrowly. Most points, best rate per finish, two wins in four. If form were a trophy it would already be on his shelf.

The more interesting question is who is best of the rest. Norris holds the points by a single point, 52 to 51. Verstappen holds the podiums: three from three recorded finishes against Norris's two from three. Our call is Verstappen on consistency, Norris on the one win, and we would rather you disagree with us than nod along.

If you do, put your Energy on it. Make your Singapore picks, open telemetry to compare the drivers lap by lap once the weekend starts, and take the argument to your mini-league.
