Who is leading the F1 Drivers' points?

Red Bull’s reigning champion Verstappen pulled out a further 25 points over Ferrari drivers’ title rival Charles Leclerc, who crashed out at Paul Ricard after leading the race for the first 17 laps.

Verstappen’s lead is now 63 points over Leclerc as he bids for a second successive drivers’ title. His Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez’s fourth position in France moves him to within seven points of Leclerc, and 19 points ahead of Carlos Sainz in the second Ferrari.

Sainz is just one point ahead of George Russell, who is 16 ahead of his seven-time world champion teammate Lewis Hamilton.
