Verdict: Miss
Julian Weber (GER) gewann das Speerwurf-Finale NICHT. Er belegte mit 85,89 m den 3. Platz. Sieger wurde Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage (SRI) mit 91,09 m – dem ersten 90-m-Wurf überhaupt in Ungarn. Zweiter wurde Anderson Peters (GRN) mit 86,18 m. Weber verlor damit das Head-to-Head gegen Peters und wurde vom überraschenden Sri-Lankaner Pathirage klar distanziert.

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.
