Formula 1 2026: Predict how drivers’ and constructors’ championships will finish

The biggest rule change in Formula 1 history has the potential to deliver some surprising results during the 2026 season.

As teams start from scratch this year with a new car, engine and active aerodynamics, how will the drivers’ and constructors’ championships look when the curtain falls in December after 24 races?

Last season, McLaren reigned supreme as Britain’s Lando Norris was crowned champion for the first time and the team secured back-to-back constructors’ titles with six races to spare.

This time around, Mercedes and George Russell have been tagged as early pre-season favourites while Aston Martin, complete with an Adrian Newey-designed car, struggled during the six days of testing in Bahrain.

Before the season begins in Australia next weekend, make your predictions for how the two championships will finish by selecting your drivers’ picks first, followed by teams’ choices.

You have until 01:00 GMT on Friday, 6 March to submit your choice and we will then reveal the overall order selected by BBC Sport users.
