Resolution Criteria

The race takes place on Sunday, March 29 at 1400 JST (14:00 local time). The market resolves YES if the driver leading at the completion of lap 1 is correctly identified. Resolution will be determined by official FIA race results and live timing data from Formula1.com or ESPN F1.

Background

Mercedes arrives with a perfect record to defend, having claimed a one-two in each of the first two rounds. Kimi Antonelli has stormed to pole position at the Japanese Grand Prix, with George Russell as his Mercedes team mate in second. The race takes place over 53 laps of the famous 5.807-kilometre Suzuka International Racing Course.

Considerations

Rain is currently forecast on all three days of track action, to varying degrees, which could impact the opening lap dynamics. New power unit regulations for 2026 have increased the emphasis on electrical power this season, impacting the way in which drivers approach qualifying and races.
