Kimi has a very strong chance of becoming World Champion before Abu Dhabi, If Kimi averages P4–P5,can expect him to become World Champion. Kimi doesn't need to beat Russell in every race. He just needs to prevent Russell from taking roughly 82 points back over the remaining season.

Kimi is really good. Hopefully he wins.

Power Unit	Estimated peak combined*​	ICE position	ERS / deployment	Reliability picture	2026 teams
Mercedes	~970–1,000+ hp​	2–4% behind benchmark	Excellent; probably strongest complete hybrid package	Some notable issues, but generally competitive	Mercedes, McLaren, Williams, Alpine
Red Bull-Ford	~960–1,000+ hp​	FIA ICE benchmark	Strong, but total hybrid package not clearly as strong as Mercedes	Very impressive for first season	Red Bull, Racing Bulls
Ferrari	~940–980+ hp​	>4% behind benchmark in FIA review	Competitive; improved through upgrades	Generally respectable	Ferrari, Haas, Cadillac
Audi	~930–970+ hp​	>4% behind benchmark	Developing rapidly	Mixed first-year reliability	Audi
Honda	~920–970+ hp​	>4% behind benchmark in FIA review	Still developing; revised PU arrived later	Biggest concern of the five	Aston Martin

Red Bull really said, “We give you wings… and apparently horsepower too.

RBPT is no slouch. They absorbed significant know-how (including members) from the original Honda project (not this lame Honda), a healthy number of engineers for Merc HPP, and they have Ford (not sure how much they are contributing, but at least they make cars at the bare minimum, so they must know a thing or two as well). That's why the other manufacturers didn't give them rookie-manufacturer perks either.

People can complain about Horner for many things. But this is one thing he did extremely well.
