The 2026 Commonwealth Games run July 27–August 1, 2026 in Glasgow (Scotstoun Stadium).

Neeraj Chopra gewann bei den Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow (31. Juli) NICHT Gold, sondern Silber (85,83m). Der Goldmedaillengewinner war der Sri-Lankaner Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage mit 89,75m – ein ehemaliger Cricket-Spieler und völlig unerwarteter Sieger. Bronze ging an Indiens Yash Vir Singh (85,41m).

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.
