Il Tempo: Formula 1, il titolo è una lotta tra le Mercedes: Antonelli sfida Russell

(Adnkronos) - Il Mondiale 2026 di Formula 1 è partito da appena due settimane e il mondo sembra già essersi ribaltato. George Russell, attuale leader iridato, rimane il grandissimo favorito al volante della Mercedes numero 63 ma, quello che è cambiato, è il rivale al titolo piloti. Secondo gli esperti Sisal, infatti, il britannico deve guardarsi le spalle dal compagno di scuderia Kimi Antonelli, reduce dall'hat trick (pole, giro veloce e vittoria) in Cina. L'italiano, adesso, non può e non vuole nascondersi in una battaglia per il mondiale che potrebbe riservare non poche sorprese. Come detto, gli esperti Sisal vedono sempre Russell favoritissimo a 1,45 ma la quota di Antonelli è crollata dopo appena due gare: a inizio campionato, il diciannovenne di Bologna si giocava a 9,00, oggi vederlo campione del mondo a fine anno è offerto a 3,50. In caso di successo, il pupillo di Toto Wolff stabilirebbe dure record: Antonelli diventerebbe il più giovane iridato della storia (record al momento nelle mani di Sebastian Vettel) e il terzo italiano, dopo Farina e Ascari, a fregiarsi del prestigioso titolo.
Il terzo gradino del podio tra i favoriti è appannaggio di Charles Leclerc, Ferrari, il quale sogna di arrivare là dove è giunto il suo mito Michael Schumacher. Il trionfo del Predestinato, che pagherebbe 12 volte la posta, porrebbe fine al lungo digiuno di Maranello, diciannove anni di astinenza.
I grandi rivali degli ultimi anni, Max Verstappen, Red Bull, e Lewis Hamilton, sulla seconda Ferrari, partono più distanziati. L'olandese sta provando a sopperire ai limiti della sua vettura mentre Hammer continua a inseguire quell'ottavo titolo che gli permetterebbe di staccare Schumacher nei vincitori all-time di Formula 1. La vittoria di uno tra Verstappen e Hamilton è data a 16.

Formula 1, the title is a battle between Mercedes: Antonelli challenges Russell.

(Adnkronos) - The 2026 Formula 1 World Championship has only just started two weeks ago, and the world already seems to have turned upside down. George Russell, the current world champion, remains the overwhelming favorite behind the wheel of car number 63 Mercedes, but what has changed is the rival for the drivers’ title. According to Sisal experts, the Briton must watch his back from his teammate, Kimi Antonelli, who came off a hat trick (pole position, fastest lap, and victory) in China. The Italian now cannot and does not want to hide in a battle for the world championship that could hold many surprises. As stated, Sisal experts still see Russell as the overwhelming favorite at 1.45, but Antonelli’s odds have plummeted after just two races: at the start of the season, the nineteen-year-old from Bologna was offered at 9.00, today seeing him as world champion at the end of the year is offered at 3.50. In case of success, Toto Wolff’s protégé would set impressive records: Antonelli would become the youngest world champion in history (the record currently held by Sebastian Vettel) and the third Italian, after Farina and Ascari, to boast the prestigious title.

The third step of the podium among the favorites belongs to Charles Leclerc, Ferrari, who dreams of reaching where his myth Michael Schumacher did. The Predestined’s triumph, which would pay 12 times the stake, would end Maranello’s long drought, nineteen years of abstinence.

The great rivals of recent years, Max Verstappen, Red Bull, and Lewis Hamilton, on the second Ferrari, start further apart. The Dutchman is trying to compensate for the limitations of his car while Hammer continues to chase his eighth title that would allow him to overtake Schumacher in all-time winners of Formula 1. A victory between Verstappen and Hamilton is offered at 16.

New research uncovers disturbing evidence of ritualized killings in the British Iron Age. A burial pit in Dorset and a 2,000-year-old cold case provide, for the first time, clear insight into the shocking, community-sanctioned nature of human sacrifice during this period.

“Brexit is the cause of this. Brexit is an absolute disaster, an act of self-harm of the worst kind for absolutely nothing. I don’t know why anyone voted for it,” said Beresford, who cannot, despite trying for years, persuade the local authorities he is entitled to healthcare under the Brexit deal.
