The fourth stage of the championship in Suzuka, a track as demanding as it is fascinating, re-established the hierarchies of the first two races. There Red Bull in fact he achieved his third double of the season, while Ferrari took third and fourth place with Carlos Sainz who now has 3 podiums out of 3 races held. There was no shortage of unforeseen events in the race starting from the first lap, with the accident between Ricciardo and Albon. An accident that risks having, both in Fanta F1 and in reality, a great impact on the rest of the season. Let's see at the end of the Suzuka weekend who are the drivers who rise or fall in Fanta F1 prices.
Who rises in price after the weekend in Suzuka
Carlos Sainz + 1: Carlos Sainz continues to rise in price, having had another excellent weekend after his victory in Melbourne. In qualifying he didn't reach the front row but in the race he used an excellent strategy, after the restart to chase the podium. With the support of the car and the team Sainz has shown that he can compete for the positions that count. Even the comparison with his teammate sees him excel. In the races he finished he always placed ahead of his teammate. Such a good start to the season leads him to be the first choice when it comes to Ferrari at Fanta F1. He then approaches his partner's price, rising to 30 credits.
Logan Sargeant + 1: Sargeant understood that to close the year it was enough to bring it home without too many ambitions. The team navigates by sight and without provisions. Its only task must be to not crash. Once educated on this it can easily be the certainty for the +10 of the last place bonus at Fanta F1. Listing rooms, priced at 9 credits.
Lando Norris + 1: the first McLaren is always his. This weekend he tried to annoy Ferrari but was not supported by the team who made him come in immediately behind Leclerc, ruining the rest of the Englishman's race who still achieved the best possible result for the Papaya team. There is room for growth. Updated cost 32 credits.
Fernando Alonso + 1: Fernando's determination makes him one of the most sought-after drivers in Fanta F1. After the penalty defeat in Melbourne at Suzuka the samurai defended himself using the tactic of giving the DRS to Piastri to keep Russell away. Only he at the moment manages to take Aston Martin so high. The credit goes entirely to him, considering Stroll's effort this weekend. It seems like we see two completely opposite situations at Aston Martin. Fernando's speed in qualifying, combined with a solid strategy is allowing the team to gain more than they would probably be able to at this time. It also goes up in price, reaching a cost of 26 credits.
Who drops in price after the weekend in Suzuka
Lewis Hamilton -1: Mercedes once again found itself unprepared. The challenges of Suzuka complicated the strategic choices and in fact the team wasted a good points finish. Hamilton's season started much worse than the previous two. And seeing Ferrari so high, maybe he's regretting not asking for early dismissal. At Fanta F1 it is a lean period for its Fantamanagers. He inevitably drops to 29 credits.
Daniel Ricciardo -1: with the accident at Suzuka Daniel comes dangerously close to saying goodbye to the top category. The period is complicated and it feels like reliving the last moments experienced by the Italian-Australian in McLaren. It seems like an eternity has already passed since the declarations in which he aspired to the top 5 with VCARB 01. He drops to 16 credits.
Pierre Gasly -1: like Hamilton and Ricciardo we find Pierre Gasly among the worst and therefore among the price changes. Alpine suffered the worst humiliation at Suzuka, even surpassed by Sargeant. Pierre could redeem himself by at least taking last place. But nothing, even that bonus was taken away from him. There's no point in keeping him on the team. He drops to 13 credits.
Alexander Albon -1: among those who drop in price we also find the first Williams driver who we initially mentioned for the contact with Ricciardo. Williams and the Fantamanagers cannot afford to find themselves in the midst of similar situations. This time Albon will have to pay the consequences, as he should have done in Australia. He then drops to 13 credits.
