Sky Sports F1 analyst Anthony Davidson has revealed his top six driver pairings heading into the 2026 season, with McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri topping the list. The British team dominated last year's Constructors' Championship, with both drivers pushing each other to the limit in their battle for the drivers' title. Davidson praised their complementary styles and ability to extract maximum performance from the car.

Mercedes takes the second spot with George Russell partnering rookie Kimi Antonelli, who impressed last season with his natural talent and work ethic. Red Bull follows with Max Verstappen alongside Isack Hadjar, though Davidson notes the challenge Hadjar faces following in Verstappen's shadow. Ferrari's pairing of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton rounds out the top four, despite Hamilton's recent struggles with ground-effect cars.

Williams and Haas complete the top six, with Carlos Sainz's arrival at Williams credited for elevating the entire team's performance. Davidson highlighted Oliver Bearman's impressive rookie season at Haas, particularly his fourth-place finish in Mexico. The analyst emphasized that these pairings could deliver strong results if the cars perform to expectations, setting up what promises to be an exciting season opener at the Australian Grand Prix this weekend.
