After a full day of pioggia, with sessions interrupted and then resumed in Montreal it is difficult, if not impossible, to evaluate the hierarchies on the track. We will therefore try to base ourselves on sensations and previous races to give Fanta F1 advice for the weekend in Canada.
The ninth round of the world championship is played in Canada on a historic and unique circuit, the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. In Monaco, in the previous race weekend we saw a rather large gap between the top 4 drivers and the rest of the grid. The result was also the result of the red flag at the start of the Grand Prix which upset the strategies of those who started further back. Thus, after the victory in the Principality, Ferrari wants to seek confirmation also on a track that offers more battle possibilities, taking advantage of a decidedly negative moment for Red Bull. However, the weather could play a card in McLaren's favour, re-proposing the battle seen in Monaco between the two teams.
Fanta F1 advice for the Canadian GP
Considering the variable conditions, let's see who to deploy in the Community Club Sponsored by NOW at Fanta F1. The choice, again this week, seems to lead us towards McLaren and Ferrari, hypothesizing a mixed lineup in the doubt that Sunday will be raced on a dry track. But which one to choose between the four cars? In Imola but above all in Monaco we saw Oscar Piastri grow. The young Australian talent from McLaren wants to get his hands on his first victory in Formula 1, proving that he is not that far behind his teammate. At Ferrari, however, Charles Leclerc is the team's point of reference. The Piastri - Leclerc duo could return to occupy the first two positions on the podium again, bringing many points to the Fantasy managers. Given the closeness between Ferrari and McLaren, a wildcard could be attempted by placing Piastri as captain.
In combination with these two pilots with 100 credits you could bet on three low-end pilots such as Nico Hukenberg, looking for redemption after Monaco, Pierre Gasly e Logan sargeant, as the main candidate for the bonus for the last driver to cross the finish line.
