Formula 1 returned from the summer break in style with the Dutch Grand Prix which, thanks to the rain led to an exceptional podium, with Verstappen in the lead followed by Alonso and Gasly gave an excellent performance. There is little time, however, to metabolize everything because with attention we are already in Monza, for the Italian Grand Prix which will be held on Sunday 3 September. Before turning our attention to Monza there is only one thing left to do, that is to decide who goes up and down in Fanta F1 after the Dutch Grand Prix.
Who goes up
Max Verstappen + 1: Red Bull's golden boy, also moved by the energy and support of the home crowd, scored his ninth consecutive victory of the season, raising every doubt about his ability to adapt to any condition, whether racing in the rain or in the Sun. He makes very few mistakes. This is why Fanta F1 continues to rise in price.
Current value: 42 Masi
Fernando Alonso +1: Fernando seems to have rekindled himself in Holland. The uncertain conditions led him to take risks. He returns to the podium after an absence continuing since the Canadian Grand Prix. He also thought about annoying Max Verstappen at the end but the certainty of second place did not lead him to try. At Fanta F1 he continues to accumulate a nice haul of points. He goes up too.
Current value: 26 Masi
Pierre Gasly + 1: The podium in Holland, deserved even if it came from the penalty to Perez, can give him the energy to repeat it in the next events. In particular in Monza. The comparison with his teammate, a bit anonymous in this first part of the season, gives him that extra credit to Fanta F1.
Current value: 18 Masi
Who gets off
Lance Stroll -1: Too much difference with his teammate, he struggles to reach the top 10 and it is always a risk to take him into the team at Fanta F1. Even Lawson – slapped in the car on Saturday after Ricciardo's accident on Friday – scored more points than him at Fanta F1 this weekend.
Current value: 14 Masi
Logan Sargeant -1: A weekend that could have given Williams double satisfaction - given the double Q3 they took home, it ended with Sargeant on the wall after a few laps and Albon in P8. The rest of the time he spends sitting in the rain, thinking about how cruel fate is with him and with the Fantasy Managers who once again chose him thinking they could pick up a few points. Unfortunately it's bad, it's getting worse.
Current value: 11 Masi
Esteban Ocon – 1: In Alonso's absence he has become the Alpine man on whom the divinities vent. In Holland he pays for the team's wrong strategies. There is always something that prevents him from reaching the top of the group centre. Fanta F1 drops by one credit.
Current value: 16 Masi
