Dutch GP Fantasy Review

The F1 Fantasy Dutch GP 2026 points wrap-up was defined by Lando Norris’s second straight victory and Max Verstappen’s nightmare home race, with the Red Bull driver crashing out on Lap 1 and wrecking brackets built around him. Kimi Antonelli and George Russell delivered a Mercedes double podium, while Liam Lawson rewarded the gamble on his Red Bull switch with P7 despite a 10-second penalty. Positions-gained scoring also boosted Nico Hulkenberg and Fernando Alonso, who converted midfield starts into P8 and P9, while six DNFs created additional opportunities for cheaper assets to climb the classification.

Into The Chicane Scoreboard

Fernando Alonso was the standout asset for our team. His 24 fantasy points marked Aston Martin’s highest driver score this season. Gabriel Bortoleto’s fantasy score wasn’t enough to earn the $0.6M increase we were hoping for, making him less of a desirable pick for next week.

Constructor 2	MCLAREN	80 pts	P1 & P6, 7 overtakes, 2.76s pit stop
Max Possible Score		323 pts	Total Budget Used: $115.7M

Fresh Price Changes & Budget Outlook

The latest price changes create several strong budget-building opportunities heading into Monza. Fernando Alonso and Nico Hulkenberg both gained $0.6M and remain extremely well positioned for another maximum increase after improving their recent scoring. Ferrari and Mercedes also gained $0.3M and have substantial protection against a price drop, making both attractive baseline constructor investments. In the other direction, Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri face difficult paths to price growth following their recent DNFs, while Haas and Cadillac are similarly poorly positioned heading into Monza.
