Verdict: Miss
Nina Kennedy (AUS) gewann nicht Gold, sondern Silber. Eliza McCartney (NZL) holte Gold im Stabhochsprung der Frauen am 31. Juli 2026 im Scotstoun Stadium Glasgow. Beide überquerten 4,65 m, doch McCartney entschied den Countback für sich, weil sie diese Höhe ohne Fehlversuch meisterte, während Kennedy dort einen Fehlversuch hatte. Bronze ging an Imogen Ayris (NZL) mit 4,55 m. Der Upset war trotz Kennedys klarer Favoritenrolle real – ein einzelner Fehlversuch kostete sie den Titel.

Mercedes leads the constructors' standings with 630 points over Ferrari (504) by a 126-point margin (as of Nov 8, 2026; source: grandepremio.com / skysports.com). According to grandepremio.com, the Las Vegas GP (Nov 20–22) is the earliest possible race for a mathematical title decision: a lead of ≥86 points after the race would clinch the constructors' title early. With four remaining races (Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi) and this cushion, even a mediocre Las Vegas result suffices. Bookmaker odds imply >85% for Mercedes' 2026 constructors' title. Verification by FIA or Formula1.com by November 22, 2026.

Bookmaker odds imply ~38% win probability for Max Verstappen (moneyline +160). He won the São Paulo GP today and holds the Las Vegas track record from 2025, where he dominated by ~20 seconds. Since Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) already secured the 2026 World Championship in Mexico, the remaining battle is for 2nd in the standings between Verstappen, Russell, Hamilton and Leclerc (within ~9 points). Verstappen is highly motivated to collect wins. Competition: George Russell +400, Kimi Antonelli +700, Lewis Hamilton +2800. The night race on the Las Vegas Strip historically favors Red Bull and Verstappen's driving style.
