The 2026 Formula 1 season will allow each driver to compare themselves to their team-mate in full qualifying trim up to 30 times - 24 in grand prix qualifying, and six more in sprint qualifying.
Here's how this year's team-mate pairings are stacking up over one lap so far.
*Right now, this is raw data. We've discounted comparisons only where one driver can't compete in qualifying. Further adjustments will be made with a large sample size to account for outliers.
