P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Which team has the best F1 2026 driver line-up, regardless of car performance? That’s the question we asked our team, who’ve ranked this year’s 11 pairings
“The 2026 Formula 1 cars are getting ready to hit the track. The quality of the drivers in each team is known although the best car remains uncertain. Our team ranked this year’s 11 driver pairings based on the F1 points system.
The weakest driver line-up of 2026 was voted unanimously as Racing Bulls, with Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad. Despite positive reviews on individual drivers, the team still ranked at the bottom due to lack of potential to break into top positions.
Alpine, with Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto, ranked 10th with doubts on Colapinto’s consistency. Gasly’s performance carried the team, but concerns remain about his teammate’s readiness to capitalize on potential improvements.
Cadillac made a new entry with Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas, ranking 9th despite their combined 16 grand prix victories. The team is expected to face challenges despite the experienced drivers.”
