**Sainz holds a narrow points edge over Alonso in the 2026 drivers’ championship, currently sitting 16th with 6 points to the Spaniard’s 19th-place tally of 3.** Both veterans are mired in uncompetitive machinery amid the new regulations, with Williams and Aston Martin trailing the midfield pack. Sainz has shown marginally stronger consistency, outqualifying and outscoring teammate Alex Albon while occasionally reaching the top 10, whereas Alonso has dominated Lance Stroll but remains hampered by persistent Honda power-unit deficits that have limited Aston Martin’s pace. Recent form favors Sainz slightly after a string of low-scoring but completed races, while Williams awaits targeted upgrades ahead of the final third of the season. Trader consensus at 65% for Sainz ahead reflects this modest performance gap and team outlook rather than any realistic title contention for either driver.
