The votes have been cast and the best driver line-up for the 2026 F1 season \u2013 as voted for by you \u2013 has been revealed!<\/p>\n
Last week<\/a> we asked you to pick who you believed to be the best driver pairing on the current grid, and with 30% of the vote the McLaren duo of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have come out on top.<\/p>\n Perhaps the result is hardly surprising, given both drivers battled it out for the 2025 title right down to the final race of the season \u2013 Norris ultimately triumphing against his team mate while Red Bull’s Max Verstappen was also a contender in the dramatic Abu Dhabi finale.<\/p>\n Coming in at second in our vote is the Ferrari pairing of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton \u2013 who incidentally won last year’s edition of this poll \u2013 with 15%, while Red Bull’s duo of Verstappen and Isack Hadjar take third spot, pipping Cadillac by just 40 votes!<\/p>\n Here’s your top five and how the voting broke down…<\/p>\n Norris<\/a> and Piastri<\/a> (McLaren) \u2013 30%
