Supercomputer predicts Kimi Antonelli to beat Lewis Hamilton to 2026 Formula 1 title

A supercomputer simulation by Vision4Sport, running 10,000 iterations of the remaining 2026 Formula 1 season, predicts that 19-year-old Kimi Antonelli will win the World Championship in Abu Dhabi, beating Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton by just 14 points. If correct, Antonelli would become F1's youngest-ever World Champion, surpassing Sebastian Vettel, who claimed his first title aged 23 in 2010. Mercedes teammate George Russell is predicted to finish third, 107 points behind Antonelli, with Mercedes forecast to dominate the Constructors' Championship.
