'Is the Hamilton-Leclerc F1 driver combination 2026's best?'

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc are among the best driver line-ups on the grid, having already shared multiple hard-fought battles during the 2026 season. The Ferrari duo has produced memorable moments in China and Japan as well. Another team mentioned in discussions about the best driver pairings is McLaren. The team’s CEO, Zak Brown, also likes to point out that they have the best line-up on the Formula 1 grid with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

No sophomore slump, just leading the Drivers' Championship standings. Kimi Antonelli's impressive second season and three consecutive wins also show that the Mercedes duo deserve a place in the conversation. He currently leads George Russell by 20 points in the standings. The Red Bull pairing of Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar, meanwhile, could also be in the discussion, with the Frenchman having had just one off-weekend so far in Miami.
