In a season where teenagers are leading Formula 1 and the front pack is already pulling away, there’s a growing list of drivers still stuck on zero points in 2026.
Through the opening rounds, we’ve seen dominance from names like Kimi Antonelli, George Russell, and Charles Leclerc—all piling up points early.
But not everyone has gotten off the line.
Drivers like Valtteri Bottas, Lance Stroll, Alexander Albon, and Fernando Alonso are among those still fighting to open their accounts this season—either caught in underperforming machinery, strategy misfires, or just plain bad luck.
Rookies are feeling it too. Names like Gabriel Bortoleto and Isack Hadjar have shown flashes of pace—but translating that into top-10 finishes? That’s a different game entirely in today’s ultra-competitive grid.
Remember—only the top 10 score points in Formula 1. That means even a solid P11… gets you nothing.
And with midfield battles tighter than ever in 2026, the difference between points and zero can come down to a single pit stop… or one mistake.



So the question is—who breaks through first?
Because once that first point hits, momentum can change everything.
