Did our AI pick the right driver?
Every prediction we publish ranks the full grid. For each round we take the driver we placed higher of these two, then check who actually finished higher.
A round is only scored when both drivers appear in the predicted order and both are classified in the result: a retirement is nobody's call. Published predictions are never edited afterwards.
The rivalry
Across 17 shared race weekends, Kimi Antonelli leads Charles Leclerc 11–4 in race results and 12–5 in qualifying, while Leclerc holds a 4–2 advantage in sprint sessions. Antonelli has recorded 340 points for Mercedes with eight wins, 14 podiums, zero DNFs, an average finish of 3.47, and an average qualifying position of 3.35. In contrast, Leclerc has scored 215 points for Ferrari with one win, five podiums, two DNFs, an average finish of 4.73, and an average qualifying position of 4.29. The head-to-head dynamic reflects Mercedes' technical strength and operational execution, which have allowed Antonelli to convert high grid slots into sustained podium finishes without experiencing mechanical attrition. While Leclerc has captured the upper hand in shorter sprint formats through rapid single-lap execution, Ferrari's comparative tire degradation over full race distances and two retirements have prevented him from maintaining consistent parity over complete Grand Prix weekends.
