Grading the class of F1 2026 so far

Autosport has published a mid-season driver report card grading all 22 Formula 1 drivers at the halfway point of the 2026 season, following 11 grands prix completed before the summer break. The feature, edited by Oleg Karpov on August 20, 2026, assesses each driver's actual performance rather than just championship standings. Among those highlighted, Andrea Kimi Antonelli received high marks for his second F1 season, though the piece notes he still has some rough edges to smooth out.
