A Mercedes também ampliou uma estatística dominante em 2026. A equipe alcançou sua sétima vitória em oito corridas na temporada e chegou a 302 pontos no Mundial de Construtores, abrindo vantagem sobre a Ferrari, que soma 204. A McLaren aparece em terceiro, com 159, seguida por Red Bull, com 115, Alpine, com 57, e Audi, com dois.

Antonelli manteve uma sequência impressionante de regularidade. O líder do campeonato chegou ao sétimo pódio em oito GPs no ano, tendo ficado fora do top-3 apenas em Barcelona, quando abandonou por quebra. Mesmo sem pontuar no GP da Inglaterra, ele seguirá na liderança, já que o fim de semana de Sprint oferece no máximo 33 pontos.

Gabriel Bortoleto finished 11th for the third consecutive race and remains on two points, 17th in the standings.
