Competitions F1 Fantasy

[XabiFernando]

Heavy on Ferrari went well last round, but first place looks like they have a pretty unassailable lead from here. Priority for me is to drop the Mercs - ideally Mercedes to red bull but likely I'll have to fund it by swapping Hamilton to a cheap D4

 

[mike89]

That Gasly BE has swayed me.

OUT: Norris, Alpine, Alpine
IN: Sainz, Ferrari, Ferrari

This is actually proving to be a much more fascinating season for fantasy than, say, 2021, because the second place team is so up in the air. It's not just a case of aiming for these four cars and drivers, even when we're "complete" the right answer might swing week to week depending on track characteristics.

Out in Q1
16. Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo)
17. Oscar Piastri (McLaren)
18. Logan Sargeant (Williams)
19. Zhou Gunayu (Alfa Romeo)
20. Lance Stroll (Aston Martin)

Was anyone bold enough to jump off Max C this week?

Brave but might be an inspired call.

RB all at sea.

Red Bull screwed
Should have gone Sainz C as i'm far behind.

Out in Q2
11. Max Verstappen (Red Bull)
12. Pierre Gasly (Alpine)
13. Sergio Perez (Red Bull)
14. Alex Albon (Williams)
15. Yuki Tsunoda (Alpha Tauri)

Good job from Liam Lawson to make Q3 ahead of both Red Bull's.

 

[Trickee]

This mixed grid will make for some crazy racing tomorrow

No but did sell 1 x Red Bull this round.

Trades:
Piastri to Sainz
Alpine to Ferrari
Red Bull to Mercedes

Team:
Verstappen (C), Perez, Sainz, Alonso
Red Bull, Mercedes, 2 x Ferrari

Will be an interesting race tomorrow.

I went for the hail mary on Sainz given I'm so far back I figured may as well, my stupidity was rewarded in qualifying at least

I contemplated trading Perez or a Red Bull but ended up just going the two Alpines and Lando out instead, was the week to gamble on the RB as well but I could afford without doing it so just did it.

 

[XabiFernando]

I was clever enough to trade up to a red bull 🙄 anticipated and was okay with perez missing - Max not so much.

Also brought in sainz and norris for perez and Hamilton though so not all lost

 

[mike89]

Yet another example of why Sainz is the canniest driver on the grid. Worked those last ten laps to perfection.

George🤦‍♂️throw it away

Been a major failure since joining merc
To many mistakes pressure to perform once you step up from a lower team must be so immense seems to be able to snatch defeat away from the jaws of victory so often

I enjoyed all of it. Thought Ferrari had shat the bed again for sure there, still not sure how they actually held on

Ferrari's last two wins have just been Sainz taking over the entire operation and not letting Ferrari get in his way. It's be fascinating to see if he could take out a whole season like that if he had the equipment...

Up 50
Pos 313

 

[tso]

Might mix it up a bit

OUT RB, Gasly, Alpine
IN Ferrari, Leclerc, Mercedes

Mav C, Perez, Sainz, Leclerc
Ferrari x2, RB, Mercedes

 

[mike89]

819, down 8 spots to 46th.

Given Gasly scored well and the Ferrari was the right car to be on, it could have been much worse!

 

[jel]

606, down 78 to 209th

I grabbed Sainz, but is it worth jumping on Ferrari? Can they back it up 2 races in a row?

 

[froffershanners]

887, up 10 to 69th.

Verstappen C and 2 x Red Bulls so looks as though most were in the same situation.
