- Max Verstappen dominates Isack Hadjar at Red Bull 8-3 in both qualifying and races, holding a 109-68 points edge (P6 vs P8)
- Carlos Sainz leads Alex Albon 9-2 in qualifying at Williams, though both sit P15-P16 in the standings with just 5 and 6 points respectively
- Fernando Alonso utterly outqualifies Lance Stroll 9-2 at Aston Martin, with both drivers in P19-P20 and only a single point scored between them
- Gabriel Bortoleto leads Nico Hulkenberg 10-0 in championship points at Audi despite trailing his teammate 5-6 in qualifying
Why it matters: Antonelli's 59-point lead over Russell at Mercedes puts the championship leader's seat inside a team whose senior driver had been expected to anchor the rebuild — and the data shows Antonelli winning in every category, not just on race-day fortune. At Ferrari, Hamilton's 31-point edge over Leclerc (P2 vs P4) is the more striking reversal given Leclerc's qualifying edge, showing Hamilton's stronger race-day conversion against his new teammate.
