Antonelli Has More Podiums Than Red Bull, Ferrari or McLaren

Fourteen podiums in 17 Grands Prix put Antonelli ahead of each of Mercedes’ three closest rival teams, even when both of their drivers count.

Kimi Antonelli’s third place in Singapore added another podium to a season in which missing the top three has become the exception.

Through 17 Grands Prix, he has reached the podium 14 times. Red Bull and Ferrari have 11 apiece with their drivers combined. McLaren has seven.

One Mercedes driver has therefore collected three more podiums than either Red Bull or Ferrari, and twice McLaren’s total. Each comparison is separate.

One driver against two-car totals

Kimi Antonelli: 14 podiums

Eight wins, three second places and three third places.

Red Bull: 11 podiums

Nine for Max Verstappen and two for Isack Hadjar.

Ferrari: 11 podiums

Six for Lewis Hamilton and five for Charles Leclerc.

McLaren: 7 podiums

Five for Lando Norris and two for Oscar Piastri.

Team totals count podium finishes, not the number of races in which a team reached the podium. McLaren’s second and third places in Miami count as two, just as Red Bull’s double podium in Baku does.

Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull occupy second through fourth in the constructors’ championship behind Mercedes. These are the leading teams trying to catch Antonelli’s team, and none has matched his individual podium count.

Only three races outside the top three

Antonelli has finished on the podium in 82.4% of the Grands Prix held so far.

His three exceptions were Barcelona-Catalunya, where he retired and was classified 16th; Great Britain, where he finished 15th; and Azerbaijan, where he finished fifth.

The rest of his season contains remarkably few interruptions. He opened with six consecutive podiums, including five straight victories from China through Monaco.

After Silverstone, he put together another five-podium sequence from Belgium through Madrid. Fifth in Baku ended that run, but second at Sepang and third in Singapore immediately added two more.

That pattern gives the comparison its substance. His total comes from repeated visits to the podium across the season, rather than one recent burst.

Winning has been only part of it

Antonelli’s eight victories account for most of his podiums, but the other six finishes matter too. Three seconds and three thirds have kept his count moving when somebody else won.

Verstappen is the next individual driver with nine podiums. Even after winning the last two Grands Prix, he remains five behind Antonelli.

Podium totals don’t isolate driver performance from the car, reliability, strategy or race circumstances. They measure the finishes delivered.

Through Singapore, Antonelli has delivered a top-three finish often enough to surpass every rival constructor’s total. His wins stand out, but the repeated seconds and thirds help explain the scale of his season.
