Formula 2 2026 – Championship standings after the Melbourne sprint race

As he did last year, Dürksen won the first race of the season, the sprint event at the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne. The now-Invicta Racing driver is thus the first championship leader. F2ahead of Noel León and Alex Dunne, who joined him on the podium during Saturday's race.

Run in a reverse grid format, the sprint race awards points to the first eight drivers to cross the finish line, who are therefore currently in the top eight positions of the championship. Martinius Stenshorne, finishing tenth, still scored the point for the fastest lap, and thus sits ninth in the championship standings.

Sunday's main race, with its higher points prizes, should give us a first, more comprehensive look at the 2026 Formula 2 championship standings, and should allow the favorites to score their first big points of the season.
