The 2026 F1 Drivers' Championship odds have had plenty of time to sit and stew during an unscheduled five-week lull.
With the Miami GP set for Sunday, May 3, we see George Russell and Kimi Antonelli as the tearaway leaders.
Understandably, the 2026 Constructors' Championship odds go through the Silver Arrows, with Ferrari and McLaren giving chase.

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 (+1200)
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.
Will Max Verstappen retire?
Four-time F1 champion Max Verstappen has threatened to retire at the end of 2026 after expressing frustration with the new car setup rules.
"I'm not even frustrated anymore," Verstappen told reporters recently. "I'm beyond that, so that's a bit ... I don't know the right word in English. I don't know what to make of it, to be honest. Probably no words. I just cannot. ... I don't get upset about it; I don't get disappointed, frustrated by it anymore with what's going on."
Verstappen, 28, has gone from +850 to +6600 in the F1 odds since the start of the season.
