One prediction market prices this story:

  • Mercedes — the market puts it at 3%, closing 12 Mar 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Max Verstappen joins the Mercedes F1 Team before March 12, 2027. It resolves to No if he does not join by that date. Readers often mistake the linked news story about Wolff for the resolution criteria, but only Verstappen's actual team assignment matters.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
