The second weekend of the season has just ended, and although the track has once again delivered a Red Bull the role of absolute queen, to take the stage Jeddah there were other pilots too. Let's see who managed to exploit the maximum potential to reach the top 5 of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix at Fanta F1!
The top 5 at Fanta F1
Like last weekend we see the best lineup at Fanta F1, that is, the combination of drivers who with 100 credits would have allowed us to obtain the score higher. As captain, once again we find Max Verstappen who has lost some bonuses compared to Bahrain, but has held on to the most important points, Pole and victory. His high cost is justified by the fact that by purchasing him you put at least sixty points in the bank per weekend. Furthermore, this week no one disfigured himself at his side. All 5 drivers in the top 5 classified with a positive score.
The first is Oscar Piastri, who having beaten his teammate and finished the race in fourth position, earned +18 points, the third best score of the weekend after that of Verstappen and Leclerc. The lowest price suits the Fantamanagers who have deployed the Dutchman as captain. The last three seats in this top 5 go to the three drivers who, despite the low cost, brought home a fair amount of loot and we are talking about Guanyu Zhou, Nico Hulkenberg and Logan Sargeant.
This team scored 78 points, 110 with Max Verstappen as captain.
The predictions and the maximum score obtainable
Let's see instead the predictions that came true in Jeddah and the maximum score we could have obtained by also guessing the point total of the Yawk team, which scored +74 points, and which would have given us a bonus of +25 points.
Safety Car: Yes (+6 points)
Virtual Safety Car: No (+3 points)
Red Flag: No (+3 points)
Wet/full wet tires in the race: No (+2 points)
Driver who starts on pole wins the race: Yes (+5 points)
Double in the race: Yes (+5 points)
Number of teams to place both drivers in the top 10: 4 (+3 points)
Number of cars forced to retire during the race: 2 (+3 points)
The total points with the best lineup, with correct predictions and team Yawk is therefore + 165 points
