We are in the middle of a challenging triple, with Austin, where we have just raced – Mexico and Brazil. The teams are chasing the last points to gain the best position in standings. Before we focus on the next race weekend, let's see our top 5 in Mexico City who are the pilots who in the US GP they collected the best score at Fanta F1. As in Qatar we will also see which is the best lineup of the weekend, always considering a maximum of 100 credits in our budget.
The best 5 in the general ranking
Sprint weekends always offer a great opportunity, but they also represent a significant risk. In this case Red Bull took a risk, trying to bring home the best possible result by sacrificing performance to avoid problems or irregularities as in the case of Leclerc and Hamilton. In fact, the team's difficulty in managing a car that was less alien than usual was clear to everyone. In Austin Max Verstappen confirms himself as the fittest driver, also in Fanta F1. Despite the difficult weekend, starting from Friday's qualifying where he received the penalty for track limits, the Dutchman put together a good comeback. This made victory number 50 of Max Verstappen's career even more special. Max isn't the only one who stood out in the US GP. In fact, one often found the shadow of Lando Norris, who reached the podium for the fourth consecutive time. In the top 5 we also find those who should not have been on the podium i.e Carlos Sainz. Promoted after disqualification of Lewis Hamilton, which arrived at the end of the GP. Closing out the top 5 are Lance Stroll – surprise of the weekend together with Tsunoda and Williams – and Sergio Perez.
The 5 drivers with the highest scores are therefore:
- Max Verstappen +43
- Lando Norris +27
- Carlos Sainz +23
- Lance Stroll +23
- Sergio Perez +22
The best training with 100 credits
Instead, let's see which drivers are the ones who, with a budget of 100 credits, would have allowed us to maximize the result. This week the most profitable choice was made by the Fantamanagers who deployed Lance Stroll, paying it 12 credits. His performance was remarkable. 23 points. A deal like this hasn't happened in a long time. His score derives above all from the extraordinary recovery, having finished in the points despite starting from the Pit Lane.
Here are the 5 drivers who form the best possible combination with a maximum of 100 credits:
- Max Verstappen +43 (42 credits)
- Lando Norris +27 (23 credits)
- Lance Stroll +23 (12 credits)
- Yuki Tsunoda +11 (11 credits)
- Nico Hulkenberg +9 (12 credits)
The total of this team is 113 points, not counting the captain's "doubling" bonus which would have brought the total to 156. Once again the team with Max Verstappen as leader got the better of a team with a more mixed lineup.
