The Fantasy Formula, an F1 Fantasy Podcast

McLaren and Ferrari brought major upgrades to Austin, but are they enough to get past Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli? After two days in the COTA paddock, hearing directly from drivers and team officials, Adam has exclusive insights into what Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc told us about their upgrades and what to expect on Sunday at the United States Grand Prix.

He also explains the engine penalties announced on Friday and their fantasy implications, the unlikely driver that topped Free Practice 1 & 2, and a unique differential driver likely to score big points while losing big budget.<...

Max Verstappen is heating up with back-to-back wins in Malaysia and Singapore, and with four wins and three other podium finishes at COTA, will anyone be able to catch him as Formula 1 returns to Austin for another United States Grand Prix?

Adam and Terry discuss the biggest considerations you’ll face planning the best F1 Fantasy lineups for the Circuit of the Americas, including Max Verstappen’s monstrous run and whether Kimi Antonelli can catch him, the Mercedes vs. Red Bull constructor call that hinges on George Russell and Isack Hadjar, and whether COTA is the trac...

George Russell is starting from the back of the grid for the Singapore Grand Prix, but that doesn’t necessarily make him the must-play option over Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli.

Adam breaks down everything from the Marina Bay Street Circuit before lineups lock: the challenges that mitigate some of George Russell’s engine penalty upside, whether to play your 2X on Russell, Verstappen, and Antonelli, and which drivers further down the grid showed promise after Friday’s Free Practice and Sprint Qualifying sessions.

Max Verstappen’s first win of the season, George Russell’s much-needed engine penalty, and the downsides of a tight street circuit are major F1 Fantasy question marks approaching the Singapore Grand Prix. Thankfully, we’re here to make sense of it all.

Adam and Terry discuss the biggest considerations you’ll face planning the best F1 Fantasy lineups for the Marina Bay Street Circuit, including whether Mercedes will replace George Russell’s engine or wait until a later race, if Max Verstappen’s recent form is enough to move your 2X chip from Kimi Antonelli, and whether...

The risk of rain was a major talking point heading into the race week, but with the forecast shifting—and Arvid Lindblad taking a major engine penalty—the plan for the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia has changed once again.

Adam breaks down everything from the Sepang International Circuit before lineups lock: Lindblad and Hadjar’s big engine penalties may make them locks, the seven upgrades Mercedes installed, and whether the latest weather forecast warrants big changes (and your No Negative chip).

McLaren had a weekend to forget in Baku, but their ability to accelerate out of corners could be a major weapon in Malaysia for the Bahrain Grand Prix. The problem is, F1 hasn't raced at Sepang since 2017, and rain could make learning the track even more difficult. So, who will adapt the fastest, and who will get left behind?

Adam and Terry are joined by special guest Chris McCarthy to discuss the biggest considerations you’ll face planning the best F1 Fantasy lineups for Malaysia’s Sepang International Circuit, including:

Charles Leclerc’s engine penalty is still up in the air, but one midfield team brought 14 upgrades—the biggest package we’ve seen all season. How will Ferrari and the new-and-improved Audi shake up the Azerbaijan Grand Prix?

Adam breaks down everything from the Baku City Circuit before lineups lock: Audi’s aerodynamics overhaul, the latest on Charles Leclerc’s possible engine penalty, and what to make of all the Free Practice reliability issues.

Adam and Terry discuss the biggest considerations you’ll face planning the best F1 Fantasy lineups for the Baku City Circuit, including everything we know about Charles Leclerc’s potential penalty—and what Ferrari isn’...

We all know about the 19 red flags from F3 testing, but did you see the SIX red flags from Friday alone? F1, F2, and F3 all saw at least one red flag, with Arvid Lindblad bringing out the last one of the day. With so much chaos already, what are the best moves for your F1 Fantasy team to win at the Spanish Grand Prix?

Adam breaks down everything from the Madring before lineups lock: the red flag situation and how to plan ahead, Charles Leclerc’s engine puts him on the back foot, and why th...

Adam and Terry discuss the biggest considerations you’ll face planning the best F1 Fantasy lineups for Monza, including what Kimi’s engine penalty really means for teams, whether A-tier drivers like Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton are worth your 2X Boost, and how to manage the Isack Hadjar injury situation.

Summer break ends with a bang! The Dutch Grand Prix is a Sprint weekend, and Sprint weekends have been the highest-scoring events of the 2026 season. That means you have one question to answer: do you chase those points now, or bank one more week of budget?

Adam and Terry break down both options as you plan the perfect F1 Fantasy lineup for Zandvoort, including which A-tier drivers are truly worth running if you can afford them, where to find budget building value, why hometown favorite Verstappen still looks underrated, and what’s really going on with As...

Kimi Antonelli hasn’t led F1 Fantasy in points for three straight races, and the Belgian GP was his worst race of 2025. Is it finally time to ditch this Mercedes driver for another Tier A contender?
