Gone are the pre-season tests in Bahrain. The first race week of the season will officially start on Monday and so will we we are finally ready to reveal the 2023 grid with the official prices of the drivers at Yaw Club's Fanta F1. As for last year, from a base of up to 100 Masi (credits) you will have to create a team made up of 5 pilots, electing a captain from among them. The teams could be modified during the season but be careful because the prices of the riders could change at each race.
To give everyone enough time to sign up and play through theYaw Club app – which you can find in all online stores – since we are close to the first race, the scores of the first 3 races will not be counted in the Community Club. Furthermore, the drivers' prices will not change for the first 3 races just to see how the single-seaters and the drivers respond. At the moment the app is being updated but in the next 24 hours it will be active again, and you will receive a notification warning you about the possibility of creating leagues (Clubs) and deploying drivers.
It's the second season for us since the launch of Fanta F1 last year, and before officially leaving for a new adventure we want to thank you because despite the difficulties, the youth problems we had, you have been by our side and we have managed to experience and share a wonderful season.
What awaits us
2023 on the track perhaps presents us with even more unknowns than last year, given that the teams have approached the philosophies of the winning stables, Red Bull e Ferrari and remain however the favorites as first and second force, from what we could see in tests. One of the unknowns concerns Mercedes, which would appear to be in trouble, as it was in the initial phase last year. In the center of the group the situation becomes more interesting. Aston Martin presents itself as the potential revelation of the season. The race pace simulation data is encouraging. As well as the speed of the AMR23, which would already seem ready to fight with Alpine for the fourth force position. McLaren of the three seems to be the furthest away Instead. The Woking stable does not have high expectations for the MCL60 which, especially in this initial phase, could struggle to emerge.
AlfaRomeo, Haas and AlphaTauri follow, leaving Williams bringing up the rear. There are 3 rookies this season. Oscar Piastri, in McLaren, De Vries in AlphaTauri and Sargeant in Williams. Their prices have been chosen in correlation with the fact that they are rookies (although De Vries who already took part in an official race last year to replace Albon).
The 2023 plank
The list was built according to 4 price divisions, from the highest to the lowest: The first 6 drivers of the top teams (Red Bull Ferrari Mercedes) have a higher cost; followed by the forces of the center group that compete for the top 10 or Alpine, Aston Martin, McLaren; medium-low and low price for the jolly stables or Alfa Romeo, Haas, and those a little behind like AlphaTauri and Williams which is a candidate for last strength. Stroll he did not take part in the tests and could even miss the first race. Who will replace him on the track – Drugovich – he will also do it at Fanta F1, in which he will inherit his own quotation.
Anticipation grows, and we can't wait to see your teams take shape!
