Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) wins the 2026 Formula 1 Drivers' World Championship (confirmed by FIA after the final round, approx. November/December 2026)
Probability
59%
20-year-old Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) leads the drivers' standings after 12 of 23 rounds with 242 pts – 59 clear of teammate George Russell and Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari). Bookmaker odds make him a clear title favourite (US moneyline –140 at sportsbettingdime.com ≈ 58% implied). His current Monza grid penalty (at least 10 places) costs points short-term but is not title-decisive with a 59-point lead and 11 races remaining (max 275 pts up for grabs). Mercedes also leads the constructors' standings comfortably. Main risk: recurring technical retirements for Antonelli.
