F1 Fantasy Race 9: Tough Time Never Last, Only Tough People Last

The FIA may have ruined an exciting end to the race, but the Ferrari hopium is back once again.

We also got to witness Russell overtaking Verstappen while he was called into the pit lane.

Brendan’s B-Team is the A-Team (Current Race: 290 / 1st, Overall: 1820 / 4th)

Brendan comes in with his first pole of the year.

The tally for the season so far is Jason and me on 3, with Vinny, Clark and now Brendan winning the last 3 races, which conveniently lines up with Hamilton and Leclerc winning their first races of the season.

Keven’s Cope and Delusion (Current Race: 286 / 2nd, Overall: 2020 / 1st)

Vinny’s Jacqui’s Favourite Pole (Current Race: 282 / 3rd, Overall: 1689 / 5th)

Prior to this race, 5 out of 7 teams in the Baddy League were rocking the Mercedes Ferrari combo. Vinny has now joined us to make it 6 out of 7.

And boy was it worth it. An 87 point gain off the moves he made this week.

Josh’s Just in time for WW3 (Current Race: 280 / 4th, Overall: 1955 / 2nd)

From Gasly (23) to Hadjar (23), Josh and I are in full alignment. The only difference is Bortoleto (16) instead of Lawson (22) and that's only because I have more budget to play around with.

Tim’s Trolley Cart Racing (Current Race: 277 / 5th, Overall: 1632 / Last)

The last non-believer of Ferrari (92) with Racing Bulls (55), Tim may be sacrificing a bit of points for a $0.3m extra gain in budget every race. He is the only team to have two instead of three A tier assets (Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren or Red Bull excluding Hadjar).

Clark’s Team (Current Race: 276 / 6th, Overall: 1688 / 6th)

Every time Hulkenberg comes close to escaping the depths of $3.0m, he DNF's. What's a man gotta do to have a more reliable car to finish the race. Can't catch a break.

Jason's Hope and Depression (Current Race: 271 / Last, Overall: 1886 / 3rd)

The only F1 Fantasy manager in the Baddy League to not own a single Racing Bull asset even though both drivers have finished top 10 in the last 4 races. Not even Lindblad who is now $6.8m?

Highest Race Score (Sprint Weekend): Jason’s 402 points in Race 2: China GP

Highest Race Score (Non-Sprint Weekend): Keven’s 249 points in Race 1: Australian GP

Highest Race Score (Limitless / Triple DRS): Jason's 224 points in Race 5: Canadian GP
