Who leads the championship standings

Andrea Kimi Antonelli arrives in São Paulo already crowned as the 2026 World Drivers’ Champion. The Italian driver secured the title the previous weekend as the youngest winner in category history at 20 years of age.

Mercedes commands the constructors’ standings with a comfortable margin. The constructor holds a clear lead over the rest of the field and stands on the brink of sealing the team championship.

What weather conditions await the drivers

Intermittent rain showers threaten to disrupt race strategies on Sunday afternoon. Local weather authorities continue monitoring the track after Saturday’s heavy downpours, which could force teams into fluctuating strategies between intermediate wet tyres and dry compounds.
