Predicted for 19. July 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Kimi Antonelli leads the F1 Drivers' Championship with 179 points (Russell +25, Hamilton +32). Implied bookmaker probability is ~42% for the favourite (+140 moneyline), well ahead of Russell (+335) and Hamilton (+488). Mercedes has the fastest overall package; however, Antonelli suffered a reliability failure at Silverstone. Ferrari drivers Hamilton (5 Spa wins, chasing Schumacher's record) and Leclerc are real contenders. Lando Norris (McLaren) starts from the back due to a 10-place grid penalty, limiting McLaren's ambitions. Wet-weather risk at the Ardennes circuit can neutralise starting-grid advantage.
Data basis for this prediction
- Buchmacherquoten: Antonelli +140 (~42 %), Russell +335, Hamilton +488, Leclerc +669 (Stand 17.07.2026, TheSpread.com / SportsbookReview)
- F1-WM-Stand: Antonelli 179 Pkt., Russell +25, Hamilton +32 – nach Silverstone (Formula1.com, 17.07.2026)

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.

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.
