Kimi Antonelli leads the 2026 drivers’ championship for Mercedes after a strong first half, ahead of teammate George Russell, Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari, and Lando Norris, who has secured recent victories to close the gap. Max Verstappen sits further back but extended his Red Bull contract and has shown improved form. The Baku City Circuit’s long straights and tight corners will test the new power-unit regulations, which emphasize electric power and replace DRS with Overtake Mode, potentially reshaping qualifying and race pace hierarchies. Cadillac’s debut and any late-season upgrades from McLaren or Red Bull could influence podium contention in this compressed Thursday-to-Saturday weekend format.
