George Russell heads the grid on Agatha's numbers at 19.2%, driver and car priced together.

Calibrated win probabilities from 77 seasons of championship results, driver and car priced together. 2026 reset the technical regulations, so the car hierarchy is still being learned and early numbers run less sharp than the historical backtest. Information only, never a staked play.
