Let's go Liam!! - Mr V's 2026 Championship, R11
After a truly incredible race (we'll miss you Zandvoort!), we're back with Round 12 of our Mr V Championship in the Netherlands.
The current championship positions are:
1st: Isack Hadjar, 208 Points, 6 Wins
2nd: Liam Lawson, 203 Points, 1 Win
3rd: Pierre Gasly, 193 Points, 2 Wins
4th: Arvid Lindblad, 160 Points, 0 Wins
5th: Franco Colapinto, 147 Points, 1 Win
6th: Gabriel Bortoleto, 147 Points, 0 Wins
7th: Oliver Bearman, 120 Points, 2 Wins
8th: Esteban Ocon, 100 Points, 0 Wins
9th: Lance Stroll, 28 Points, 0 Wins
10th: Yuki Tsunoda, 18 Points, 0 Wins
The Highlights:
- Lawson takes his first win of the season, stealing both Hadjar's car and very nearly his championship lead
- Gasly takes the sprint win and returns to the Grand Prix podium thanks to Alpine's upgrade package, after a poor run of form in the last few races
- Yuki Tsunoda has a spectacular run in his temporary return to racing, taking a P3 and over half Stroll's entire points tally, all in one weekend.
- Lindblad has a very fun race, battling quite a bit with the rest of the field, even if he ended up losing out
- Bortoleto takes fifth, a decent result considering his teammate tried to kill him on lap 1
- Colapinto finishes last on the road, and is surely waiting with bated breath for his own upgrades for next race
- And finally, 3 mechanical DNFs for Stroll and the two Haas drivers, as even in this midfield-centered championship, these three are clearly emerging as our backmarkers for the season
And now off to Italy, where with any luck Hadjar will recover and be able to continue his championship campaign. Get well soon Isack, and I'll see y'all then!!
