At the Monaco Grand Prix Charles Leclerc he returned to victory by breaking a fast that had lasted since Austria 2022, and above all by definitively putting an end to the search for success in his home GP. Ferrari did not achieve this victory by chance. The team has grown in recent months and Leclerc arrived in Monaco on the strength of this growth. The feeling of being able to take her home was already there on Friday, but in two days there are many unknowns that could have made this scenario unachievable. First of all, Leclerc managed to get into Pole, without ever making any mistakes. The race between luck and strategy, with tire management then completed the picture. Currently, Ferrari, after Sainz's victory and third place, has closed the distance to Red Bull and Max Verstappen. The Maranello team is in fact second in both championships, both the constructors' and drivers' championships with Charles. In Miami McLaren prevailed, in Monaco Ferrari. At this stage they are all very close and this makes everything very unpredictable even at Fanta F1. So let's see how Fanta F1 prices change after the Monaco GP.
Although the championship is still long, the last three races have marked a turning point. Red Bull's dominance is under attack on two fronts, McLaren and Ferrari. Two teams with projects, single-seaters, different drivers, who can annoy Red Bull depending on the type of track that presents itself. Precisely for this reason it is also good to redefine the values of Fanta F1, considering the path of each team so far.
Drivers on the rise in Fanta F1
Charles Leclerc (+1 credit)
There was no one able to worry the Monegasque as he sprinted towards his first home victory in Monaco. A goal sought for a long time, and finally achieved with a perfect weekend. Ferrari is growing and the team can easily afford to bet everything on the number 16. Just like the Fantamanagers at Fanta F1. It goes up to 36 credits.
Oscar Piastri (+1 credit)
Oscar Piastri, after losing the front row in Imola due to the penalty, tried again to get back to the front and succeeded. In Monaco he also enjoyed the advantages of an excellent qualifying, managing the race well and putting Sainz in difficulty, who in the end had to give up in P3. Not bad to get a second place in Monaco in the second F1 race on this track. He continues to grow, as does his average and reaches 30 credits.
Nico Hulkenberg (+1 credit)
Nico Hulkenberg was really unlucky this weekend. First the penalty for the irregular opening of the DRS, which forces him to start at the bottom of the table together with Magnussen. During the race he was then hit by Perez's RB20 which in turn was hit by Magnussen's Haas. An unjust victim especially for his Fantamanagers. His outing weighs on the average points which however remains higher than that of other more expensive drivers. However, for the progress made so far, Nico deserves to rise to 12 credits.
Guanyu Zhou (+1 credit)
Lastly, and no it is no coincidence that he finished last in Monaco, let's put Guanyu Zhou with an average that continues to grow race after race. Zhou often does better than his former Mercedes teammate, Bottas. Despite having less experience. We still don't know what his fate will be in F1, whether he will have a contract renewal or not. But at Fanta F1 it goes up to 10 credits.
Drivers Downhill in Fanta F1
Sergio Perez (-1 credit)
Sergio Perez had a nightmare weekend in Monaco. In qualifying, as in Imola, he disappointed. During the race he was involved in a truly impressive accident. Luckily he escaped unscathed, but not his RB20. This weighs especially from a budget cap perspective. His average at Fanta F1 doesn't make him inviting. We need to further lower his price at Fanta F1. His cost is 31 credits now.
Max Verstappen (-1 credit)
For the first time we are also forced to take a look at Max Verstappen's price. His initial value, 48, begins to falter after the last three races in which Max suffered. In Monaco, Pole was also taken away from him by Leclerc. In the last three races Max has won "only" once. Are these numbers destined to change or will we remain in such an uncertain situation? We don't know, this will depend on the team and the progress in the next GPs. However, at the moment it drops to 47 credits.
Daniel Ricciardo (-1 credit)
Compared to the initial value, we still wonder what happened to the expectations that Visa Cash App RB and the Fantasy managers had towards Daniel. His season is made up of more lows than highs and the average at Fanta F1 remains dangerously low. Tsunoda, his teammate, has already scored points three times in a row with the same car. Do you understand the differences? It drops to 14 credits.
Lewis Hamilton (-1 credit)
Lewis Hamilton also drops by one credit. This year Mercedes is definitely suffering and Lewis, leaving at the end of the year, is the last wheel on the wagon. A bit like what happens in Ferrari with Sainz even if this year the car's performance is masking it. This unequal comparison can also be seen at Fanta F1. Russell, despite costing less, has higher scores than the Englishman. His cost is reduced to 28 credits.
