After a week of stoppage, Fanta F1 returns for the Austrian GP. In Canada we witnessed the return of that balance between forces that had so excited fans last year. For the first time, then, Not even a single McLaren made it to the podium. On the occasion of the Austrian weekend, therefore, the top teams could return very close to each other. Therefore, it will be even more complicated to line up who to field in your team this Saturday. Let's try, together, to understand in the meantime who would be best to avoid for the Austrian GP.
Liam Lawson.
Lawson at Fanta F1 is a real disaster. He is the worst driver on the grid, with a negative average of -2,2. Worse than him, remember, only Jack Doohan. It must be said that the New Zealander's season has been quite unusual so far. Working for Red Bull all winter, pre-season tests with the Austrian team and then immediately a heavy failure, which came after just two races. Lawson, moreover, it is not showing signs of recovery. Always far from his teammate, great difficulties in qualifying and very few points in the standings. We know that his price, that is 9 Yaw compared to 13 at the beginning of the season, could encourage more than someone to choose it as the last slot. The advice, however, is to desist, avoiding fielding the Racing Bull driver in Fanta F1 for the Austrian GP.

Lance stroll
Canadian fails to get out from yet another dark period of his career. After a good performance during the sprint race in Miami, with the start of the first European stages of the calendar, Lance Stroll certainly did not shine, neither on the track nor at Fanta F1. Not even the developments brought by Aston Martin are helping the number 18 driver, which seem to have some effect only on the other side of the box, that of Fernando Alonso. In fact, Stroll, both in qualifying and in the race, is always quite far from his teammate. In short, opting for the Canadian at Fanta F1 in view of the Austrian GP It could be a nice gamble. If you are looking for a last minute slot at a low price, you better look elsewhere.

Pierre Gasly
Often, in the course of this column, we have first mentioned the name of Doohan and then that of Colapinto. This time though it's up to the first Alpine driver, which says a lot about the progress of the 2025 season of the transalpine team. Advising against Gasly does not mean questioning his ability as a driver. However, compared to the competitors with whom he fights in the midfield, He and his car seem to be in a lot of trouble. In Canada, then, the poor qualification had a negative impact, with the number 10 eliminated already in Q1. Furthermore, his scoring average is lowered to 1,5, while its price still remains too high, or 15 YawThe advice, at least for third-tier pilots, is to to focus on his other colleagues, maybe Williams, Haas or Alonso (also for 15 Yaw). In conclusion, better to avoid Gasly and Alpine, waiting for better times.

Lewis Hamilton
Waiting for better times we also find Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari. The English driver is facing a difficult season, both because getting used to a team as particular as Maranello is not at all easy, and because, once again, Ferrari is not keeping pace with its main competitors. We'll see if the new fund which will be used in Austria and the long-awaited rear suspension, which could arrive between Silverstone and Spa, will make the number 44 feel more comfortable on his Rossa. Meanwhile, among the second-tier drivers, better not to bet on Hamilton. Not even in Canada, one of his favorite tracks, the results came, despite a qualifying that had seen him lead over Leclerc. For this reason, better to wait for the famous "better times" for Lewis and for Ferrari.

Lando Norris
Among the second-tier drivers, namely Leclerc, Russell and Hamilton, we advised against the latter. Looking instead at to the top-tier ones, that is Norris, Piastri and Verstappen, for this time it would be better to avoid the English driver. Lando Norris, in fact, comes from sensational omelette made in Canada, where, a few laps from the end, he hit his teammate head-on. At Fanta F1, McLaren's number 4 is the most expensive driver on the grid, with as many as 39 Yaw. Currently, however, after the Spanish and Canadian GPs, he seems to be a step below his teammates, with Piastri apparently having taken his place as favourite to win the championship. Also, since McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes will probably be very close, it will be very important for the drivers don't make any mistakes, especially in qualifying. Well, given this context too, it would be better not to bet on Lando Norris, waiting for him to recover and return to being a positive protagonist of this championship everything is still to be decided.
