Verdict: Miss

Jakob Ingebrigtsen trat beim 1500-m-Finale am 13. September 2026 gar nicht an: Er hatte zuvor das 5000-m-Finale gewonnen und entschied nach einem Treadmill-Test am nächsten Tag, auf die Doppelbelastung zu verzichten – er verwies auf seine schwierigen letzten zwei Jahre mit Verletzungen und Achillessehnen-OP ('I'm not in a position where I'm able to go back to back races'). Den Sieg holte Josh Kerr (GBR) in 3:29,35 min vor Cameron Myers (AUS, 3:29,68) und Hobbs Kessler (USA, 3:30,73).

Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team clinches the 2026 Formula 1 Constructors' Championship at the Las Vegas Grand Prix (November 21–22, 2026)

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.

Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing) wins the 2026 F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix (Las Vegas Street Circuit, November 21, 2026, confirmed 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.
