After a month-long hiatus, Andrea Kimi Antonelli of Team Mercedes has 72 points after three races (F1 Japanese Grand Prix was the previous event back in March). His teammate George Russell came in second with 63 points, so Mercedes is in the lead at the top of the leaderboard, but Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari are in third and fourth place.
