Which team has the best 2026 F1 driver lineup?

RacingNews365’s latest poll asks fans to decide which team will field the strongest driver package for the 2026 Formula 1 season. The final showdown pits a hypothetical Ferrari duo of seven‑time champion Lewis Hamilton and eight‑time race winner Charles Leclerc against McLaren’s rising star Lando Norris paired with Oscar Piastri. After the opening heats, only these two teams remain, and the vote will reveal fan sentiment ahead of the new regulations.

Why it matters:

• Driver line‑ups shape a team’s on‑track performance, development feedback, and long‑term brand appeal.
• A proven champion like Hamilton can accelerate car development and attract sponsors, while a young talent such as Piastri offers future upside.
• With the 2026 power‑unit rules set to reshape the grid, the right mix of experience and speed could be decisive.

The details:

• Ferrari – Lewis Hamilton (7 championships, 103 wins) & Charles Leclerc (8 wins, 19 podiums). Hamilton is rumored to join Ferrari in 2026; Leclerc remains the team’s lead driver.
• McLaren – Lando Norris (5 wins, 16 podiums) & Oscar Piastri (0 wins, 2 podiums). Norris is a consistent points scorer; Piastri is a rookie with strong qualifying pace.

What's next:

• The poll closes on January 31. RacingNews365 will publish the results and compare them with the official driver announcements expected later this year.
