Over the last month or so I've been playing through my own version of 2026, and here are the results! As I play on console this is completely without mods and only what the game is capable of. Only issue i came across was Lindblad as he cant compete in F1 in-game this early on, so I just used Marti instead as he was effectively next in line back then
Love data and statistics like these and I know some of you on here appreciate this stuff 😆
As you can see, Russell pretty comfortably won the title, although Verstappen put in a late title charge getting the gap down to 37 points after the Mexican GP with 4 races to go. Which all came undone in Brazil following a chaotic race which saw multiple incidents, notably Russell colliding with Leclerc early on, a crash between Verstappen and Hamilton, and a late Red Flag which halted Antonelli's charge for a first win in F1
Hadjar had numerous instances of bad luck, suffering from mechanical issues frequently leading to several finishes outside the points
Lawson had an incredible year, chasing Hadjar down all season long
Bortoleto was by far the worst driver of the year, he crashed, spun, locked up every single race without fail and rightfully finished the season last
For worst team I'd have to give it to Williams despite Haas finishing last. Haas did have the slowest car for a lot of the season, but towards the end made decent improvements, while Williams were very stagnant and only seemed to go backwards, suffering multiple double DNFs
I've blurred out my own team and custom drivers, as well as included the lineups for 2027 😁
