Il Qatar Grand Prix it put the pilots to the test. The condizioni they were prohibitive to say the least but fortunately there were no serious implications. While we are wondering about the future of Formula 1 in stages like this, and about such a challenging calendar for the drivers, it is time to focus on the new prices for Fanta F1.
Quotes after Qatar: who rises?
For this weekend we have chosen three drivers to raise their prices. Two of them, like last weekend, finished on the podium, in another perfect weekend.
Oscar Piastri + 1: The first driver to be rewarded can only be Oscar Piastri. McLaren's young talent is blossoming rapidly. This weekend also saw his first victory, in the Sprint race. It won't be as important as winning a Grand Prix but compared to his teammate the young Oscar is already 1-0. In fact, Lando has never even won in a Sprint. Compared to the beginning of the season, McLaren has collected many points, finishing with a double podium in two consecutive weekends. Who knows what it can give us in the future, with a couple of drivers like Oscar and Lando who at Fanta F1 are restoring prestige to those Fantamanagers who had purchased them in unsuspecting times.

Lando Norris + 1: Lando Norris also goes up, despite having paid the price for his teammate this weekend. He will have to handle the comparison well so that the Australian talent does not oust him from the role of first driver. At Fanta F1 he also goes up one credit, getting closer to Fernando Alonso.

Esteban Ocon + 1: He deserves recognition after the last two points-scoring races, especially after this one. Despite having raced with his own vomit in his helmet for around forty laps, Esteban resisted and fought to stay in the points, achieving a feat that he will remember forever. His partner instead spent the whole time arguing with the track limits, bankrupting the Fantasy managers who no longer know how to behave with the two Alpine pilots. Just a shame about the accident on Saturday.

Who gets off in post-Qatar prices
Now we come to the sore points. Let's start by saying that this was one of the most difficult weekends and races for all the riders, and that there is no desire to diminish what each of them did in these evaluations. However, we must recognize that some got into the ball a little too much and ended up ruining their averages at Fanta F1.
The first one we mention is Pierre Gasly which conquers a series of penalties due to track limits. A disaster for those who had him at Fanta F1. Unfortunately his is not one of the happiest moments. In Suzuka the argument with the team over the team order, in Qatar the track limits. He then drops a credit, in the hope that he will shine again.

Sergio Perez – 1: His scores are dangerously low and he has to thank that Hamilton practically threw himself out on the first lap otherwise he would have lost important points in drivers ranking. Perez's situation is the most complex and unusual. The car is the same as Max's but he seems to only respond to the commands of the Dutchman who is always at least 40-50 seconds away from Perez. Mexico is coming soon, what do we do?

Lance Stroll + 1: Lance barely got out of the car after a trying race that almost left him fainting. Seeing him in these conditions is impressive, especially because anything could have happened on the track in a moment of blackout for the Canadian. The reason for his devaluation, however, lies in the overall vision of a rider who has been having some rather eloquent reactions lately. His discomfort on board the AMR23 seems to frustrate him a lot and this is not a good sign even for those who have him on their team at Fanta F1.
