Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes, ITA) wins the F1 Gran Premio de España 2026 (Madrid F1 debut, 13 September 2026, confirmed by FIA result or ESPN by 13 September 2026)
Kimi Antonelli leads the 2026 drivers' championship with 242 points — a 59-point gap over George Russell (Mercedes) and Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari, 183 pts each). Mercedes dominates the constructors' standings with 425 points. The new Madrid Grand Prix circuit makes its F1 debut (replacing Barcelona); the new layout is expected to favour high-downforce configurations, benefiting Mercedes. However, Russell, Hamilton and Norris have also won during the season; roughly 4 drivers are realistically competitive. Bookmaker odds imply Antonelli as co-favourite at ~25–30%. Own estimate: 28%.
