After 11 races in the 2019 Formula 1 season, the latest of which being a crazy German Grand Prix that was full of crashes, rain, overtakes and drama, the championship standings have become a bit more interesting - here's how it's shaping up!

With Mercedes not scoring any points for the first time since Austria 2018, the rest of the field have crept a lot closer to the German team, both in the drivers' championship as well as the constructors' championship.

Luckily for Mercedes, both Ferrari and Red Bull finished the race with one driver, limiting the point-scoring for both teams as they try to catch up to the Silver Arrows.

Max Verstappen has now made it two wins in three, edging him ever closer to Valtteri Bottas in second place of the drivers' championship. The Finn failed to capitalise on the nightmare race from his teammate and championship leader Lewis Hamilton, who ended well outside of the points. Bottas crashed out of the Grand Prix in the latter stages of the race, losing control at turn 1 and totalling his W10.

With his incredible podium finish, Daniil Kvyat now finds himself in the middle of the fight in midfield, as the Russian put in one hell of a drive to collect an extremely rare P3 for Toro Rosso.

Check the list below for the full standings!
