Vertigo-inducing twists and turns, flashing fairground lights everywhere you look and storm clouds on the horizon.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been all quiet on the F1 Fantasy front during the summer break, but now it\u2019s back with a bang at Zandvoort<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Dutch GP could offer big gains in the Fantasy game at a tricky circuit to overtake on and some wet weather predicted.<\/p>\n

Lando Norris<\/a> has emerged victorious from three of the last four contests \u2013 will Oscar Piastri<\/a> strike back?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s set to be an intense contest between the McLaren men, but there\u2019s points to be garnered further down the Fantasy field too.<\/p>\n

Read on for all the crucial tips and advice for this weekend below.<\/p>\n

Motor Sport\u2019s 2025 Dutch GP F1 Fantasy choices: Who\u2019s your wet weather master?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Lando<\/p>\n

Norris or Piastri?<\/p>\n

Oscar Piastri comes in at $5m less than F1 Fantasy\u2019s most expensive driver in Lando Norris ($31.4m), but has scored almost the exact same amount of Fantasy points (489 to 500).<\/p>\n

That therefore makes him an essential pick to lead your team with DRS boost.<\/p>\n

Behind them it\u2019s the likely lads. Liam Lawson<\/a> ($4.5m) and Isack Hadjar<\/a> ($5.1m) both represent excellent value for money with both having the potential to score a handsome Fantasy points return compared to their value.<\/p>\n

The only driver to have the same price or lower than the above two drivers, but to have scored more points, is Gabriel Bortoleto<\/a>, which is why we\u2019ve selected him too \u2013 he\u2019s finished in the top 10 in the last four consecutive races.<\/p>\n

\"Fernando<\/p>\n

Alonso: he\u2019s back!<\/p>\n

\n Getty Images\n <\/p>\n

Pierre Gasly<\/a> has had a reasonable score so far this season, but we\u2019ve decided to move him over for Fernando Alonso<\/a> ($7.5m).<\/p>\n

One of the reasons our team is populated with such cheap assets is so we could afford Ferrari<\/a> for Hungary \u2013 which has so far proved a dubious choice with Hamilton finishing out the points there and both cars looking lost in Zandvoort FP1.<\/p>\n

Aston Martin<\/a>, on the other hand, appears hooked up, coming in fourth and fifth in FP1. You can get crucial bonus points if both cars get through to Q3. The green team looks a good bet for this in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

The tight and twisty Zandvoort, like the Hungaroring, seems to suit its car downforce-heavy car.<\/p>\n

\"Isack<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget the Racing Bulls<\/p>\n

\n Red Bull\n <\/p>\n

Furthermore, its enigmatic pilot Lance Stroll \u2013 in spite of crashing in FP2 \u2013 is often quite good in the wet (for some reason).<\/p>\n

We\u2019d advise swapping the Silverstone team with Ferrari, then putting the red car back in for the Italian GP \u2013 no one wants a draggy Aston at Monza!<\/p>\n

Hopefully you\u2019ve inferred by now that your other team should be McLaren.<\/p>\n

Which F1 Fantasy chips should I use?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve be ever-so-careful so far and still have your Limitless or Extra DRS chips available, you could use one to boost Fantasy points on what might be a wet weekend.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d advise you to keep your powder dry in Zandvoort though.<\/p>\n
