Predicted for 30. November 2026

Based on: Statistical Pattern
Antonelli leads the championship after 12 of 23 GPs with 242 points — 59 ahead of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton (both 183), 83 ahead of Lando Norris (159). 283 points (11 GPs + 1 Sprint) remain to be awarded. Historically, WDC leaders with >50-point leads after 12 of 23 races win the championship in ~75–80% of cases. Antonelli has 6 wins, 6 poles and 10 podiums this season; he is the youngest WDC leader in F1 history. Risk: engine failures, crashes, or a coordinated triple pursuit (Russell + Hamilton + Norris) could erode the lead.

Márquez leads the 2026 championship after 19 of 22 rounds with 399 points, 44 clear of Jorge Martín (355). Martín suffered a wrist injury in Malaysia and is doubtful for Qatar (MotoGPNews, 4 Nov 2026). MotoGPNews experts nonetheless lean toward Marco Bezzecchi for Sunday's main race; Márquez himself admits he 'often struggled at Lusail'. Without a dedicated race-winner market, probability is derived from championship futures (Márquez 2/5, Bezzecchi 7/1 at bet365), implying a ~30–35% single-race win probability for Márquez. A Martín DNS would further reduce competition.
