After United States GP Formula 1 and Fantasy F1 return with the Mexican GP, less than a week after Max Verstappen's victory. The Dutch driver, given his exceptional form, has a fight for the world championship has been reopened which seemed to have now taken shape as an internal challenge within McLaren, and will now try to complete a comeback that saw him pass from 104 points behind Piastri to 40The pressure is increasing and you have to stay careful who to bet on in Fanta F1Let's see who we don't recommend for the race in Mexico City.
A big name among those not recommended at Fanta F1 for the Mexican GP
Oscar Piastri is expected to respond this weekend in Mexico. After three disappointing weekends, the championship leader absolutely must find his feet if he wants to maintain his advantage over Norris and Verstappen.
In his favour there is certainly the fact that there are only 5 races left, but it is undeniable that the Australian is experiencing the most difficult period difficult of his 2025. Momentum is on Verstappen's side, and why not also Norris', who is in turn reducing the gap and this brings even more pressure on Piastri's shoulders. In addition, it will be raced on a circuit where he has not particularly shone, with two eighth places obtained in 2023 and 2024.
In summary, therefore, we believe that among the three who are fighting for the world championship, the young Australian driver is the one who gives less trust from a Fanta F1 perspective: it's not the best one to bet on for the Mexican GP.
Here's who to avoid in the middle of the grid for the Mexican GP
Another disappointing weekend in Austin for Alex Albon. His third consecutive GP finish outside the points hurts him and the fantasy managers, but it hurts even more when looking at the results of his teammate Carlos Sainz.
The Spaniard seems to have finally found the right balance with Williams and has achieved two podiums, one on Sunday in Baku and one in the sprint race over the American weekend.
This incredible form of Sainz coincides precisely with the Albon's decline, who after scoring eleven top 10 finishes in the first 16 races is experiencing a difficult period, reminiscent of the one he experienced in the middle of the summer with three consecutive retirements in Spain, Canada, and Austria. The 17 Yaw ratings required to have him on their team could be a risk if the Thai driver were to maintain his current level. Better to look elsewhere.
Another driver who is best not to bet on is Esteban Ocon. The Frenchman is going through a difficult period and betting on him for the Mexican GP doesn't seem like a great idea. It's true that his value is only 12 Yaw and this could entice fantasy managers to field him in their team, but be careful: in the last 4 races Ocon has brought 2 times malus, a 0 and a +7 in the Fanta F1. The Haas seems to be a car with which it is possible to get into the top 10, as demonstrated by the performances of the much more inexperienced Oliver Bearman, who has scored 4 points in the last two races. Yet Ocon has not been in the last 4 races. never went beyond the 14th post from Baku. If you want to bet on the French driver, this isn't the best time to do so.
For Fanta F1 it's better not to look at Alpine
To find the last two not recommended ones, we go, for the umpteenth time, to the house AlpineAfter the disagreements in the final laps of the American GP, the climate certainly cannot be relaxedThis, combined with the fact that the car is what it is, certainly won't give the fantasy managers who will field them a good night's sleep.
Un Colapinto in crescendo He can't even be seen as the classic driver to bet on for the last-place bonus, especially after watching the race in Austin. The Argentine driver ignored the team radio and decided to attack his teammate, leaving Gasly in last position. Gasly unrecognizable who (who can't blame him) can't wait for this season to end, achieved 16th place at Monza as his best result in the last six races. It's been a disastrous period for the Frenchman, so we're aiming for something else for Fantasy F1.
