The Fantasy Formula, an F1 Fantasy Podcast

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 Aston Martin’s new power unit.

The importance of Sprint weekends and when to pivot from budget building
Which A-tier drivers are worth the money as you chase Sprint points
What is really happening with Aston Martin’s new power unit
Why the Global Top 100 shows you don’t need a 4A lineup to climb the leaderboard
Price gain targets to help grow your F1 Fantasy cost cap
