F1 Fantasy (Credits: F1)
It’s another race week and time once again to take a closer look at the potential F1 fantasy game-changers this week in Montreal
We had a roller-coaster start to the season but we finally seem to have some stability as we approach the mid-season mark.
Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez have been very popular picks thanks to their consistency. However, as the season progresses, Leclerc seems to have lost some rhythm and doubling up the Red Bull duo of Verstappen and Perez doesn’t appear to be a bad idea. Carlos Sainz and George Russell have emerged as effective budget picks.
Lewis Hamilton’s performances have been a cause of cause concern for most of the fantasy teams. Hamilton was a part of most of our fantasy teams at the start but most managers have got rid of the Brit over the last few weeks.
Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez or should we continue to show faith on Charles Leclerc – what should we opt for? Which constructor seems to be the safest bet going forward – Ferrari or Mercedes or Red Bull? We have got all the answers you’re looking for and we’re back once again with your weekly dose of F1 Fantasy!
You will get three free substitutions ahead of the Grand Prix. Use them to bring in drivers you feel will do well in Montreal. If you don’t have Perez yet, just get him in! A settled core combination including two of Verstappen, Leclerc and Perez is a must and you can build your team around them. If that requires you to remove Lewis Hamilton, we would suggest you go ahead and do that.
Carlos Sainz and George Russell are potentially good picks as a cover for your marquee driver. For the Canadian GP, Daniel Ricciardo is our wild card pick. The Australian has the experience on his side and has in good form lately.
The most important part is – Remember to save and submit your teams before the deadline – the qualifying session on Saturday evening.
