The 2026 Formula 1 season is already delivering edge-of-your-seat drama, and after four exhilarating grands prix, the qualifying head-to-head battles between teammates are heating up. Who's dominating the garage rivalries? Let's break down the numbers.
Every Saturday, the pressure is on as drivers push their machines to the limit in qualifying. Motorsport has been tracking these crucial teammate duels, focusing purely on raw qualifying results—so grid penalties don't skew the stats. It's all about who's faster when it counts.
Here's the twist: when a driver can't set a representative lap due to a technical gremlin or a track incident, that's noted separately. It keeps the picture fair and accurate, because in F1, luck can play as big a role as skill.
Speaking of skill, the Miami Grand Prix served up a double dose of excitement. Lando Norris stormed to sprint race pole in his upgraded McLaren, proving the team's updates are paying off. Then, young gun Kimi Antonelli backed it up by snatching his third consecutive pole position, fending off the relentless Max Verstappen. The future of F1 is looking bright—and fast.
