At Fanta F1, like every Monday, it's time for change of quotes: let's see who goes up and who goes down after the drivers' performances in Monaco GP. Norris returns to the limelight, Leclerc trying and Ocon getting very important points with Haas go up. The value of Tsunoda, Alonso and Gasly instead decreases.
Who will join Fanta F1 after the Monaco GP?
Lando Norris +1
He hadn't won in 7 races Formula 1, or rather from that chaotic inaugural race in Australia. From then on, 4 victories for teammate Piastri and two for Max Verstappen. Despite remaining in the slipstream of the Australian in the drivers' standings doubts were beginning to arise about the English pilot. Doubts swept away, or at least put aside for a while, after thegreat performance in Monaco, especially in qualifying. In the race he did his part, triumphing and bringing his fantasy managers many points.
Now in the standings he is only three points behind his teammate in first place and more than 20 points ahead of Verstappen. After this important victory that can only give him confidence ahead of the summer races its value goes from 39 to 40 Yaw: the most expensive driver in Fanta F1 remains Lando Norris.
NEW VALUE: 40 Yaw
Charles Leclerc +1
All the Ferrari and Monegasque fans hoped for it. In the final laps, when Verstappen was slowing down Norris' triumphal ride and Leclerc was under a second behind, many were hoping for a gimmick, a folly by Leclerc. But Norris' McLaren was too fast to find a gap in the very narrow Monaco and so the Fans had to settle for second place. Second place which, according to Leclerc, was unexpected before arriving in the Principality. A pleasant surprise therefore also for the players who bet on the home driver: excellent qualifying and controlled race, with his teammate an eternity behind. After initial difficulties, Leclerc's price starts to rise again.
NEW VALUE: 35 Yaw
Esteban Ocon +1
He had already enchanted everyone in 2023 when, thanks to an exceptional qualifying, he had conquered the podium in the Monaco GP with Alpine. This year he won't repeat himself but his performance over the weekend was at that level. With a Haas acting up (Bearman only in P17) not only does he push into Q3, but he even finishes eighth in qualifying, leaving behind drivers like Albon, Sainz and Tsunoda. Thanks to Alonso's retirement on Sunday he reaches the finish line in seventh place, giving his team 6 very precious points, which lifts him to ninth position in the drivers' standings. After the setback at Imola, Ocon returns to make his fantasy managers smile and its value returns to 14 Yaw.
NEW VALUE: 14 Yaw
There are those who have disappointed: here's who's going down
After seeing who is rising in Fanta F1, here are the 3 drivers who are falling after the Monaco GP weekend.
Yuki Tsunoda -1
A complicated weekend for the Japanese driver, which saw him sadly finish in P17. His Red Bull certainly didn’t help, in a weekend where Verstappen also struggled a lot, finishing fifth in qualifying and fourth in the race.
Tsunoda's Sunday was already starting uphill due to a Qualifying that was below expectations and which saw him stop in Q2, in twelfth position. An attempt was then made in the race to make him climb with a risky strategy, stopping him in the early laps to unlock one of the two mandatory pit stops but thus confining him to the rear traffic. He will surely have the opportunity to make up for it in Spain and earn forgiveness from his fantasy managers, but for now its value drops to 17 Yaw.
NEW VALUE: 17 Yaw
Fernando Alonso -1
There is no way to get unstuck and remove that annoying 0 in the standings for Fernando Alonso. Starting sixth in a race like Monaco everything seemed set for the first points of the season for the Spanish driver, but that was not the case.
Un power unit problem forces him to stop in the escape route of the Rascasse, when he was traveling towards a seventh position that would have allowed his fantasy managers to obtain precious points for the Fanta F1. This time too, however, they were disappointed with the third seasonal retirement of the Asturian. Another unlucky race leads him to drop in value: from 15 to 14 Yaw.
NEW VALUE: 14 Yaw
Pierre Gasly -1
The French driver's value also drops after the disastrous weekend in Monaco. Having gone out in Q1 and retired in the race, he carries some Malus that will surely make his fantasy managers doubt. Even in his case, like Tsunoda, Alpine tries to play the wild card by stopping him immediately, but Gasly gets into an accident with the Japanese driver that definitively eliminates him from the race. The only positive note is the home comparison with Colapinto in qualifying. The Argentine driver at least for the moment he doesn't seem to have any arguments to stay ahead of Gasly and this may give some hope to fantasy managers. However, its price inevitably drops to 15 Yaw.
NEW VALUE: 15 Yaw
