The Fantasy Formula, an F1 Fantasy Podcast

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 to play your No Negative chip or replace it with a better option.

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:
Why McLaren's unique gearbox could be a hidden edge in Malaysia (and the next two races)
What to expect from a track less than half the grid has ever raced on
Which chips are in play at a rain-soaked, unknown track
Max Verstappen vs. Lando Norris vs. George Russell — and where does Oscar Piastri fit?
