Probability

50%

Karsten Warholm is in dominant 2026 form: won the London Diamond League (46.61s, world-leading time at that point) and gold at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham (46.63s, championship record, his fourth continental title). Three qualifiers contest in Budapest: Warholm (2025 World Champion per World Athletics feature), Rai Benjamin (USA, Paris 2024 Olympic champion, 46.46s) and Alison dos Santos (BRA, won Oslo DL in 46.89s ahead of Warholm's 47.40s). No Polymarket market available; bookmakers imply Warholm as favorite (~48–52%) based on superior 2026 form. Key risk: Benjamin is reigning Olympic champion, dos Santos showed surprise strength.

Verdict: Miss

Warholm gewann das 400-m-Hürden-Finale NICHT. Alison dos Santos (BRA) siegte in 45,98 s (Weltrekord), gefolgt von Rai Benjamin (USA, 46,40 s). Warholm belegte Platz 3 in 46,78 s. Dos Santos, der laut Vorhersage als 'überraschend stark' eingestufte Außenseiter, dominierte das Rennen deutlich.

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.
