United States Grand Prix Main Race Winner
Verstappen remains very live from second on the grid, but the market’s 45% Yes price looks a touch rich after Antonelli beat him to pole. His recent winning form supports him, yet the qualifying deficit and reported tyre issue slightly favor No.
Analysis
Verstappen still has a strong winning path from second on the grid, and the gap to pole is small. His recent back-to-back wins keep him near the top of the probability table, so the market is not far off.
Still, Antonelli has pole, the championship lead, and the cleaner qualifying result, while Verstappen openly described a Q3 grip problem. That makes No slightly more likely than the current 45% Yes price suggests.
Arguments
For
- Second on the grid gives Verstappen a direct path to the lead.
- Recent wins suggest Red Bull still has race-winning pace.
Against
- He missed pole to Antonelli by a meaningful qualifying margin.
- Reported rear grip issues could hurt stint performance and tyre management.
Key drivers
- Front-row start keeps Verstappen in immediate contention.
- Antonelli’s pole and Verstappen’s Q3 issue reduce his edge.
Risk factors
- Antonelli may convert pole into control of the race.
- Verstappen’s tyre balance problem could worsen in race trim.
Scenarios
Best case
Verstappen gets the better launch and wins a close duel with Antonelli.
Most likely
Verstappen stays in contention but Antonelli edges him over race distance.
Worst case
Antonelli controls the race from pole and Verstappen cannot recover.

US economic state at the end of 2026?
AI15%MKT5%Edge+10UndervaluedThe economy still looks more likely to miss the soft-landing definition because unemployment is comfortably below 5.0% but inflation is already above the 3.5% cutoff. For Yes to resolve, inflation must fall meaningfully by the December 2026 CPI reading, and that looks possible but not the base case.

I would price Likud at a modest minority chance to win the most seats, slightly above the market but still well below even odds.
