Both drivers compete in midfield machinery far from the leaders, with Sainz holding a narrow 6-3 points edge after 13 rounds in 2026. Williams’ recent form slump and reliability issues have limited the Spaniard despite his commitment via a new multi-year deal, while Aston Martin’s struggles have similarly hampered Alonso at age 45. The close trader consensus reflects uncertainty over remaining upgrades, Honda power unit progress at Aston Martin, and Williams’ long-term project under James Vowles. Alonso’s experience and potential retirement timeline versus Sainz’s younger profile and consistency in poor equipment create the balance, with late-season reliability or development breakthroughs able to shift the outcome either way before the finale.
