What's the best F1 Fantasy line-up for Canada?

Formula 1 returns to Montreal this weekend, igniting excitement among F1 Fantasy players after a thrilling European triple-header reshaped the standings. New players can still join the free-to-play game, selecting five drivers and two constructors within a $100 million budget to compete for race-week prizes. With drivers facing the infamous Wall of Champions at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, the Strategist has identified seven key F1 Fantasy assets for optimal team selection. Among the top picks is Oscar Piastri ($24.9m), who secured his fifth season victory in Spain, extending his lead over Lando Norris in the Drivers’ Championship. Despite trailing Norris in F1 Fantasy points, Piastri has consistently matched or outscored him in five of the last six races, offering excellent value at 1.51 points per $1m spent. Nico Hulkenberg ($6.6m) is another strong contender, achieving a career-best F1 Fantasy score in Barcelona with 12 overtakes. His consistent performance makes him a valuable buy, especially with a $0.6m price rise on the horizon. Isack Hadjar ($6.1m) has also impressed, averaging over 11 F1 Fantasy points in the last three weekends and outscoring both Red Bull drivers in the Monaco and Spain Drivers’ Championships. Liam Lawson ($5.4m), despite early season struggles, has steadily gained confidence, securing his first Drivers’ Championship points in Monaco and showing consistent fantasy scores. Franco Colapinto ($4.5m) stands out as a budget-friendly option needing only two points for a value increase. For constructors, McLaren ($32.7m) remains the dominant force, with seven victories, seven fastest laps, and six pole positions, consistently delivering over 80 fantasy points per weekend. Ferrari ($28.8m) also presents a strong option, having tallied 61 fantasy points in Spain and demonstrating strong pit stop performances, averaging 48.8 fantasy points per weekend. Players should finalize their teams before Qualifying on June 14 at 1600 local time (2000 UTC) and keep an eye on free practice sessions for last-minute adjustments.
