Die teaminternen Qualifying-Duelle in der Formel 1 haben in der Saison 2026 bereits klare Tendenzen gezeigt. McLaren hat sich einen deutlichen Vorsprung erarbeitet, während andere Teams nach den ersten vier Rennen noch eng beieinander liegen.
McLaren führt die teaminterne Qualifying-Statistik mit einer 3:1-Bilanz seiner Fahrer an, Sprints nicht mitgerechnet. Das Team erzielte in den bisher absolvierten Rennen konstante Abstände in Q3, die zwischen 0,058 und 0,317 Sekunden lagen.
Red Bull and McLaren significantly narrowed the gap to Mercedes at the 2026 Miami Grand Prix through major upgrades. Ferrari's extensive updates delivered limited results. Kimi Antonelli secured victory for Mercedes, matching his Japan win.

McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri say the team will continue fighting for the 2026 Formula 1 world championship rather than shifting focus to its 2027 car. The reigning constructors' champions sit third-fastest so far amid new technical regulations. Norris argues that abandoning the current season rarely pays off.
McLaren CEO Zak Brown has warned that it would be very foolish to write off Red Bull despite their poor start to the 2026 Formula 1 season. Red Bull sits sixth in the standings after three rounds with just 16 points, while McLaren holds third place. Brown predicts teams will converge as they adapt to new regulations.
