Catalunya Grand Prix 2026 Predictions: Kimi, Kimi, Kimi, a man after six wins

I was delighted with my selection in last weekend’s F1 Tips as 4/1 shot Kimi Antonelli secured pole at a dramatic Monaco Grand Price, and then held onto the win. 

That’s likely to be his biggest price for success anytime this season, but we bagged a decent winner. Anyway, we are back to it this weekend, and below you can find my Catalunya Grand Prix 2026 Predictions. 

Catalunya Grand Prix 2026 Odds

Kimi Antonelli is now just 21/20 to win this one, with George Russell at 5/2. Max Verstappen is 13/2, Lando Norris is 8/1 and his teammate Oscar Piastri is 12/1.

Antonelli is 2/9 to win the World Championship. 

Kimi Antonelli to win @ 21/20

He’s certainly not 4/1 this week, but still worth backing. The 19-year-old has been a sensation this season, winning the last five races on the bounce including in Monaco last weekend. There was a lot of talk about Ferrari last weekend but yet again the Mercedes man proved himself to be far too quick for the opposition as he won his first career Grand Slam, whereby he achieved the win, pole position, fastest lap and led all 78-laps of Sunday's Grand Prix.

Even a safety car and a red flag which forced a stationary start couldn’t prevent him from taking the chequered flag, and at one stage he was 30 seconds ahead of the opposition, which would have been the biggest winning margin of the Monaco Grand Prix in the 21st century. 

There’s seemingly no stopping him right now, and he is already 66 points clear in the Drvier’s Standings. Superb from the teenager, and I’m just going to keep backing him until he lets me down. 

F1 Odds

Charles Leclerc top three finish @ 11/4

The beady-eyed of you will have noticed that these are the same two selections I put forward last week. Leclerc may have failed to secure a podium finish at his home Grand Prix as he crashed out late on thanks to that slightly dodgy surface on the final corner - which then led to the red flag. 

He blamed the brakes after that crash and was frustrated at his DNF, but his pace had been good up to that point. I’m still confident in Ferrari’s recent performances, and think they have definitely improved over the past few weeks. 

I’ll back them to be the second-fastest team and Leclerc to bag himself a podium finish. If he can keep it on the track…
