* 2026 figures run to round 17. Points, wins, podiums and championship positions come from the final standings of each season; points include sprints. Head-to-heads count Grands Prix only: a race counts when both drivers were classified, and qualifying compares final qualifying positions. Poles are qualifying P1, before grid penalties. The median qualifying gap uses the last session (Q1, Q2 or Q3) in which both set a time.
