F1 arrives at Interlagos, ready to close out an American hat-trick that has upset the balance and rewritten strategies. Ferrari, fresh from two consecutive triumphs, does not hide its ambitions. With two victories and an exciting run, it is now the team to beat and is threatening McLaren's lead in the constructors' championship. The pressure, however, is all on the shoulders of Lando Norris. The English driver knows that he has, perhaps, the last chance to reopen the race for the drivers' title. Especially if Verstappen – as seems likely – were to take a penalty for the power unit change. In this scenario, Norris has the opportunity to get closer to his Dutch rival, but every move will have to be precise and calculated. In the meantime, the Community Club NOW is preparing for a weekend of Fanta F1 full of unknowns, in which the Sprint format adds further tension. The lineups will have to be defined by the Sprint Qualifying on Friday evening at 19:30, and every choice could make the difference in this final rush. Let's see the advice for the weekend in Brazil at Fanta F1.
Ferrari looking for a hat trick in Brazil
After victories in Austin and Mexico, Ferrari arrives in Brazil with the aim of completing the American hat-trick and getting even closer to McLaren in the constructors' championship. With an SF-24 that has become the benchmark in the championship and a driver pairing in excellent form, the Scuderia knows it has what it takes to fight until the end. Carlos Sainz said that the recent success has only increased his motivation, and he will do everything to bring home another important result. The pressure is on, but Ferrari wants to keep up the pace and close out the hat-trick with another strong performance.
Norris, last call for the drivers' world championship
Lando Norris knows that Brazil represents one of his last chances to close the gap to Max Verstappen and keep his hopes of winning the drivers’ title alive. With a grid penalty for Verstappen, who will have to change his power unit, Norris has a golden opportunity to close the gap, but it won't be easy: Max has shown he can move aggressively on track, and Interlagos, with its overtaking opportunities, will be no exception. After the close battles of recent weeks, McLaren is aiming to maximise points and Norris knows the stakes are high. Further complicating the situation are the variable weather conditions, with rain forecast for Saturday and Sunday and the Sprint format, which requires drivers to be competitive from Friday.
Fanta F1's recommendations for the weekend: who to field with 100 credits
For this Brazilian weekend, the five drivers to field in Fanta F1 are Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz, Franco Colapinto, Valtteri Bottas and Kevin Magnussen, for a total of 100 credits. Norris, in full race for the world championship, is a must for those aiming to maximize points, while Sainz is in excellent form and wants to finish on a high note. Colapinto, with a good quality-price ratio, is attracting the attention of Red Bull and could be an interesting bet. Bottas, always in the running for the last place bonus, and Magnussen, who is taking advantage of the growth of Haas, complete the ideal roster.
