After the first free tests, and the article on the not recommended, let's get back to talking about Fanta F1 and Recommended in view of the Brazilian GP. Since it's a sprint weekend, this evening Qualifying will take place at 19:30 pm Sprint: There's little time to change your team!
Fantasy F1: Two possibilities among the most expensive drivers
We all remember the race at Interlagos in 2024. It was certainly one of those feats that will be talked about for years to come, as Verstappen's exploits are remembered. It's 2025, and the situation is certainly different, but in some respects it's very similar. Now the Dutchman is no longer leading the pack, but Lando Norris, who, after regaining his best form in recent races, has overtaken his teammate in the standings. However, the pressure is once again on the Englishman: he must win, given the superiority of his McLaren for much of the season. Max, on the other hand, doesn't have much to lose. If he doesn't win the title, no one will be able to tell him it's his fault. In a weekend that promises to be wet, especially on Saturday, betting on Verstappen seems to be the right choice. Who knows if Brazil will still be a land of conquest for the Dutchman…
As an alternative to Verstappen, if you want to manage your budget more carefully, Charles Leclerc is among those recommended for the Brazilian GPThe Ferrari driver, after several podiums and having dominated the comparison with his teammate, would like to triumph at least once in a decidedly bitter season.
The uncertain weather and the title fight that is getting tighter as we get closer to Abu Dhabi could open up a possibility for the Monegasque. On a track that has seen many twists and turns over the years, Leclerc can aim high, especially because unlike drivers who fight for victory, he can race without fear and without any pressure. In Brazil, he has never reached the podium, and while victory remains a pipe dream, It is reasonable to expect a great performance. As far as Fantasy F1 is concerned, it is therefore among the recommended ones: it might not disappoint fantasy managers over the weekend in Brazil.
Veterans will be making their way through the middle of the field ahead of the Brazilian GP.
After the disappointment of the Mexican GP, Carlos Sainz needs to redeem himself. He experienced strong emotions at Interlagos, from his retirement in the pouring rain in 2024 to his first career podium in 2019, when he was still racing for McLaren. The Spanish driver's season took a positive turn after the summer break, with performances, both in qualifying and in the race, worthy of his track record. The podium in Baku and the podium in the sprint in Austin have given him a lot of confidence. In a weekend that promises to be unstable in terms of weather, confidence is essential, without forgetting the Sainz's outstanding qualities on wet tracks. It could be the just the right weekend to get a lot of points at the Fanta F1 by fielding the Williams driver.
On a circuit that has made Formula 1 history, we are banking on the old guard. Alonso and Hülkenberg could get into the points zone in a weekend that promises to be full of twists and turns.
Both are coming from a retirement in Mexico, which however had been preceded by excellent performances. With the Sauber driver scoring points in the American GP and the Spaniard scoring points in both Singapore and Austin. In FP1 they respectively obtained the third and fourth time, showing speed and stretching their elbows in view of the qualifying sessions scheduled for a few hours' time. The cost is not excessive and are consequently among the recommended ones for this weekend.
Surprise as last recommended to Fanta F1 here in Brazil
The last one recommended is, somewhat surprisingly, a driver who has been disappointing in his last outings: we are talking about Esteban OconHaas is coming off an incredible weekend in Mexico, with Oliver Bearman finishing fourth and the Frenchman himself finishing ninth. He returns to Brazil after the miracle of 2024, where he secured an unexpected podium, alongside his former teammate, after a superb drive in the wet. Conditions, as previously noted, could be repeated this year at least for the sprint race and qualifying. Backing Ocon might be a gamble, but if there's one weekend where it's worth fielding him, it's probably this one.
