2026 F1 Drivers' Championship favorites
George Russell (+100)
George Russell was stamped as the one to beat by bettors and oddsmakers before the year began, as Mercedes looked to have the most promising cars in preseason testing.
A victory in the season-opening Qatar GP helped solidify that status, although he's coming back to the pack a little bit after runs of second and fourth in China and Japan, respectively.
Kimi Antonelli (+110)
Kimi Antonelli was an early betting favorite despite having never won an F1 race before.
He broke his maiden in the Chinese GP, then promptly doubled up in the Japanese GP to practically draw even in the betting with his Mercedes teammate.
Charles Leclerc (+1400)
Ferrari has had the most consistent speed of any team outside of the Silver Arrows. Charles Leclerc has completed the trifecta twice and placed fourth once to give him the inside track at beating the Mercedes boys this year.
