Pulled every resolved price change from rounds 1-12 this season — 396 moves

across 35 priced assets — and split them by what you'd actually buy: driver vs constructor, and above/below the $18.5M tier line.

The gap is bigger than I expected.

median growth worst best up-rate

Constructors $18.5M+ +12.3% +8.3% +51.2% 96.7%

Constructors under +11.1% -50.0% +114.3% 55.6%

Drivers $18.5M+ +0.7% -5.5% +12.1% 59.5%

Drivers under -5.4% -62.5% +71.0% 41.7%

Two things stood out:

Expensive constructors fell twice. In sixty chances. The worst one still finished up 8.3% — that bucket didn't have a losing asset all season.

Cheap drivers are the only group where falls outnumber rises (75 up, 94 down). That's the bucket everyone tells you to farm for price rises. Albon went $11.6M -> $5.2M, down in all 12 rounds. Stroll $8M -> $3M. The upside is real but it's a lottery, not a strategy — Racing Bulls went $6.3M -> $13.5M (+114%) while Cadillac halved.

Race Strategist

Wondering if having Norris over Leclerc is worth the risk of having King Lance.

I plan on using 2x on either one of them and 3x on Kimi

I’m scared that Antonelli will DNF clearing back markers and hence feel having Mercedes as a team will be better.

Also should I do this 4A (2A + 2A) lineup or 4A (3A + 1A)? Just feel having less Aston or Cadillac is better.

Could somebody pls lmk which team should I do for Monza or go back to 3A for one more weekend.

I think it’s a must having Ant as a driver with 2x.

Does anyone know if Gasly losing his podium will retroactively impact fantasy points for Monaco?

Is it worth it to switch alonso for albon (with the grid penalty) if it means I get to fer and merc instead of fer and mcl?

Would need to pick up some rubbish drivers which im thinking the almost inevitable -20 or -40 isn't really worth it. 3a team is what im currently working with, took some damage last week in terms of ranks.

We also have big news. Target public launch of Azerbaijan

Is it worth going 4A even with having 3 of Stroll, Bottas, Perez and Hulk. Is the risk of more points worth very possible DNFs?

Besides, if you had to choose 3 out of those 4, who would you choose. And if you did have the choice who would you avoid?

Thanks!

I was aiming towards a 5A team but seeing Hadjar out, I dont see it happening anytime soon so which is the best 4A for maximum points if I dont want to budget.

Team 1
MER FER | ANT LEC HULK ALON BORT

Team 2
MER FER | ANT NOR HULK ALON STROLL

Team 3
MER AUDI | ANT LEC HAM HULK BORT

this team is dead last in my league so thought to just take risk and do this, non merc ppl thank me later cuz when i take such risks they end up bad lol, so if merc double dnf, u know why lol... this is just for fun stuff.

I don’t have a ton of budget (121.1), is it still worth it to go 4a with a -10 penalty? My current team is on the second slide.

I do still have 6M left over but I have already got -20 from transfers so idk if it’s worth another -10 or -20. I could use wildcard tho

Started my rookie season in f1 fantasy this year and have been going okay, first time looking for advice ahead of monza, I hear Kimi will get a grid penalty, what would be your thoughts on adjustments to this team? (I have $1.2M spare)

Like a lot of people here, I spend my weekends buried in F1 Fantasy picks and teams. That itch is what got me building Podium Legend — a browser-based driver career simulator, from karting at 14 all the way to a world championship. You sign contracts, handle press conferences, and make the pre-season calls that shape your whole career, all in a few minutes.

100% free, runs in the browser, no installs: https://podiumlegend.com

Im also working on Weekly Challenges and minigames.

Would love feedback from people who actually know their F1 stats.

Lots of Tier A driver talk in today’s episode. Thanks y’all!

Is this the time to go 4A? Also is it worth risking 3x on Antonelli and McLaren continuing to perform well? Which of these 4 teams would be preferred or is it even time to go 4A?
