After the Hungarian GP (27 July 2026, won by Norris/McLaren), Antonelli leads the drivers' championship with 219 points – 50 ahead of Hamilton (Ferrari). Mercedes dominates constructors (379 vs. Ferrari 307 vs. McLaren 220). The new Madrid street circuit (debut, 13 September) favours aerodynamically strong cars; Mercedes leads in downforce package for 2026. Antonelli has 6 season wins so far (including Monza expected). No Polymarket market specifically for Madrid; bookmaker odds imply ~25–30% for Antonelli as favourite. Norris (McLaren, recent winner) and Hamilton (Ferrari) are main rivals.
