I've prepared some driver and teams break evens going into round 6. The return of the negative BE (and a few single digit BE's).
Drivers: Sainz -7, Kimi 4, Latifi 6, Vettel 8, Russell 16, Gio 18, Gasly 19, Mazepin 22, Schumacher 26, Tsunoda 30, Stroll 31, Ocon 37, Leclerc 38, Norris 47, Max 51, Perez 53, Alonso 64, Dan Ric 69, Bottas 133, Hamilton 176
Teams: Williams 5, Ferrari 6, Alfa 22, Haas 22, Aston 40, Red Bull 47, Alpha 49, Alpine 77, McLaren 84, Mercedes 192
Limited trades coming up in the teams space with Ferrari and Red Bull set for further price increases. It's very difficult to score in excess of 170 points in a round, so it's likely Mercedes (and potentially Hamilton too) will be losing value next round, regardless of performance.
For myself, ideally I'd just like to trade Russell to Norris but I don't have $11M saved up, so I'll be getting either Kimi or Seb instead. Leclerc v Norris a likely debate for this round.
What could the Red Bull and Mercedes prices look like in 2 rounds time, assuming both teams score their season averages to date?
Current prices: Mercedes = $35.1M, Red Bull $27.8M
Post round 6 prices: Mercedes ~ $33.6M, Red Bull ~ $29.5M
Post round 7 prices: Mercedes ~ $32.2M, Red Bull ~ $30.6M
Considering there was $12M between the two teams at the beginning of the season, I'd be happy to pay $1.6M to have one of each in my setup. Or do you go the double upgrade and predict Bottas to outperform Perez?

Haven't heard of this before, will be interesting to see how it pans out.
Also wonder how the Fantasy comps will adjust to having Quali, Sprint & Main race?

F1's first Saturday Sprint Qualifying event will take place at Silverstone next month and Stefano Domenicali, the sport's president and CEO, has given an insight into how the format could develop if it proves successful.
“We don’t want to rest on our laurels in terms of a classic format that could become old," Domenicali told Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.
"This is an experiment that should make Friday, Saturday and Sunday interesting, with testing on the first day leading up to a short race – the sprint race – on Saturday, which will in turn determine the starting grid for the main race on Sunday.
"This format means more content for television and enables the organisers to spread interest across more days.
"We’re thinking of a drivers’ points bonus for anyone who gets the grand slam of pole, victory in the sprint race and victory in the Grand Prix. If it’s successful, it could become the norm for the most historic, iconic Grand Prix races.”

Less chance of seeing a sensational Quali lap from a midfielder vault a driver into the top of the grid for the main race, as by the time they have run the Sprint race... that driver would likely have slid down the grid again.
Will be interesting to see how Sportsdeck handle it.

Great question around what fantasy will do. In the Supercars, they've sometimes had practice sessions that decided which cars would have to go through the first stage of knockout qualifying and which ones went straight to stage two. The fantasy lockout was after these practice sessions, so you already knew which drivers/teams couldn't qualify lower than say 15th before lockout.
Based on the current qualifying rules for the game, the sprint race results that determine the grid may be everything. But if so, do we get to see the results of Q1-Q3 sprint race qualifying and FP2 before lockout? I suspect it has to be based on the sprint race as otherwise the passing points wont work (drivers/teams will likely be in a different position on the grid than the Q1-Q3 results).
