F1 Fantasy: top picks & predictions for the 2025 Dutch GP

Vertigo-inducing twists and turns, flashing fairground lights everywhere you look and storm clouds on the horizon.

It’s been all quiet on the F1 Fantasy front during the summer break, but now it’s back with a bang at Zandvoort.

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

Lando Norris has emerged victorious from three of the last four contests – will Oscar Piastri strike back?

It’s set to be an intense contest between the McLaren men, but there’s points to be garnered further down the Fantasy field too.

Read on for all the crucial tips and advice for this weekend below.

Motor Sport’s 2025 Dutch GP F1 Fantasy choices: Who’s your wet weather master?

Oscar Piastri comes in at $5m less than F1 Fantasy’s most expensive driver in Lando Norris ($31.4m), but has scored almost the exact same amount of Fantasy points (489 to 500).

That therefore makes him an essential pick to lead your team with DRS boost.

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

The only driver to have the same price or lower than the above two drivers, but to have scored more points, is Gabriel Bortoleto, which is why we’ve selected him too – he’s finished in the top 10 in the last four consecutive races.

Pierre Gasly has had a reasonable score so far this season, but we’ve decided to move him over for Fernando Alonso ($7.5m).

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

Aston Martin, 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.

The tight and twisty Zandvoort, like the Hungaroring, seems to suit its car downforce-heavy car.

Furthermore, its enigmatic pilot Lance Stroll – in spite of crashing in FP2 – is often quite good in the wet (for some reason).

We’d advise swapping the Silverstone team with Ferrari, then putting the red car back in for the Italian GP – no one wants a draggy Aston at Monza!

Hopefully you’ve inferred by now that your other team should be McLaren.

Which F1 Fantasy chips should I use?

If you’ve 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.

We’d advise you to keep your powder dry in Zandvoort though.
