With multiple long straights and the quickest track on the F1 calendar, Monza will favour vehicles with a high peak speed and low drag. All teams will bring unique low-downforce rear wings to the Italian track, but turn stability will also be vital due to the presence of multiple chicanes. Given the emphasis on top speed, Red Bull is the favourite to win a fifth consecutive race in 2022 at Monza, especially after performing so well at Spa a fortnight ago. Ferrari, on the other hand, will be working hard to put up a great performance in front of its home fans and make amends for some of its mistakes in recent races.

You can make up to three teams. Keep an eye on each driver’s price and make your selections before qualifying on Saturday evening. Because of Sprint events, this deadline may change during the year. Each Grand Prix is preceded by three substitutes. Log in to F1 Fantasy, select ‘Manage,’ and begin swapping out drivers. The list of available drivers can be sorted by price or other parameters.
Create or join F1 Fantasy leagues to play with friends, family, or like-minded competitors from all across the world, making every Grand Prix that much more exciting. Simply log in, then go to the ‘leagues’ icon on the left to start your league, or go to the top right of the screen to join with a code provided by someone who has already started a league.
Powerups are something unique about F1 fantasy. There are three powerups at your disposal that you can use once every race week. These are the following.
Turbo Driver – This doubles the score of any driver with a value less than $20 million. Use it by tapping the ‘TD’ icon in your team selection screen, and remember to use it every week.
Mega Driver – Regardless of driver value, this powerup triples the score of any driver You receive two of these per season, one before Hungary and one after Hungary, so use them carefully. Tap the ‘MD’ icon to use it. You only get two MD cards per season.
Wildcards – They allow you to make up to 12 free substitutes during the race-week in which they are played, allowing you to reset your team and make additional substitutions to increase your budget above $100 million. From Belgium to Abu Dhabi, you earn two Wildcards per season, one in the first half and one in the second. Tap the icon with the joker hat to activate this powerup. You get one Wildcard chip in the first half of the season, and another in the second. However, they are not carried forward.
The Streaks feature is critical for F1 Fantasy scoring. It works like this: if your driver qualifies in the top 10 for five consecutive races, they will receive five more points; if they finish in the top 10 for five consecutive races, they will receive ten extra points. Streaks also function with constructors, but both drivers must qualify or finish in the top 10 for three consecutive races in order for their team’s streaks to be activated. Hot streaks can be used with the aforementioned powerups to double or triple your bonus. That is how you truly make a difference.
