The fourth round of the season has closed and, if the track has talked about another domain Red Bull with the one-two Perez-Verstappen, at FantaF1 there are quite a few novelties.
Alonso "The Conquistador" of the FantaF1
In fact, the most deployed driver of the weekend does not come from home Red Bull… and not even since Ferrari. Let's talk about Fernando Alonso. The Spanish world champion, with his three podium finishes since the beginning of the season, has captured the hearts of the Fantamanagers. More than 27.000 users bet on him this weekend as well(15,76% preference out of all drivers), in which Fernando gave away 22 points with his fourth place, achieved with great tire management. Solidity, strength and tenacity that allow Alonso to position himself in front of his other rivals.
Fantamanager, is it time to bet on Charles?
Azerbaijan was also the race, or rather the weekendby Charles Leclerc who has collected two pole position, un according to and a third place. Numbers that made i happy Fantasy manager who chose to bet on him (about 7.19%) deploying him not only on the track, but also as captain. Although Leclerc is not on the podium of the most deployed driver of the weekend, when you have him in the team, the captain's armband is automatically triggered. Number #16 on the grid collects 28 points at Fanta (56 for those who fielded him as captain). With this performance, it is not excluded that more Fantamangers will eventually decide to rely on him, perhaps already from Miami, considering the Ferrari recovery. Will it really be worth it?
Confidence below zero
The most important meltdown instead comes from home Mercedes. The Fantamanagers do not believe in the strength of the W14 which is not working in Baku beyond sixth place with Hamilton and eighth with Russell. They are the two pilots of the Freccia d'Argento team a be the least used of the weekend. Russell is placed third from last while Hamilton even closes the ranking with a minuscule selection percentage (1,64%). The charm of the seven times world champion does not affect the Fantamanagers, who considering the two Mercedes drivers with little possibility of giving away bonuses compared to the purchase price.
The Finnish talisman of FantaF1
Last place which, at FantaF1, means only one thing: points. In the last few weeks a pilot above all he has placed himself in that position several times. Let's talk about Valtteri Bottas. The Finn, considering the enormous difficulties of his Alfa Romeo, he finished in last place twice already, also considering the race in Azerbaijan. And to think that only the penalty to Sainz in Australia prevented the good Valtteri from bringing up the trio from the rear. The Fantamangers have realized that the 33-year-old is a 'last place' points machine and more than 10.000 users have decided to trust him (payed off big time) during Baku weekend. As for the race choices, the surprise comes from the Red Flag. Indeed, 73% of teams predicted a red flag in the race, perhaps mindful of past editions, but remaining disappointed.
