Probability

38%

Mercedes leads the 2026 F1 constructors' standings by 98 points over Ferrari. Kimi Antonelli leads drivers (179 pts) but George Russell (154 pts) has shown sharper recent qualifying pace. GPFans preview: 'Russell marginally favoured for pole given current form.' Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari, 147 pts, 6 Spa wins) is the main outside threat. Spa's high-speed layout suits the Mercedes package; a Mercedes front-row lockout is the most likely scenario, with Russell the current form-edge driver. Bookmaker odds imply ~35–40% for Russell pole.

World Athletics Ultimate Championship Budapest 2026: Marileidy Paulino (DOM) wins the Women's 400m final (12 September 2026)

Marileidy Paulino won gold in the 400m at the Paris 2024 Olympics and is the reigning Olympic champion. Femke Bol (NED), who long dominated, has switched to the 800m in 2026 (her Budapest 2026 entry confirmed in the 800m), so she does not compete in the 400m flat. This clears the path for Paulino: her next serious rivals would be Natalia Kaczmarek (POL, European champion) or Amber Anning (GBR). Aggregated bookmaker odds imply ~48% for Paulino.
