2026 Brazilian GP forecast before practice: Antonelli, 32 % to win

Formuradar's model, using only recent form, gives Antonelli a 32 % chance of winning, Verstappen 21 % and Hamilton, Norris and Leclerc between 11 and 12 %. It is the model's weakest stage: it changes with practice and qualifying.

⏱ Stage S0 forecast (form only, before Practice 1 on 6-11-2026). It is replaced by each later stage; after the race it is compared with the real result.

These figures are probabilities, not predictions of a result: 32 % means that in about every three races like this, Antonelli would win one. Stage S0 only uses the recent form of teams and drivers; with practice and qualifying the model becomes more precise, which is why it is frozen and compared with the real result.

How to read it

The model shares out 100 % among the drivers: Antonelli at 32 % is neither certain nor likely, he is the favourite in a race with a lot of uncertainty. The three after Verstappen are almost level (11-12 %). Until qualifying the grid is not settled; at Interlagos, moreover, pole guarantees nothing (it won in 54 % of races with data).

How much to trust it

Stage S0 is the weakest: it only knows form, not the weekend. The forward test, with forecasts frozen before each session and compared with what happened, is on the accuracy page, with a sample that is still small. This is not betting advice.
