1. Max Verstappen ($15,800) — Which of these stats is more compelling? Verstappen set the all-time record for consecutive Formula 1 Grand Prix wins. He wasn’t in the optimal lineup for the Italian Grand Prix.
2. Sergio Perez ($10,400) — Why does Checo get such a hard time? He’s the only driver not named Max to earn a win in 2023. He’s finished fourth or better in each of the last four races and earned three podiums in those four races.
3. Fernando Alonso ($8,800) — The magic has faded, but Alonso is still third in the standings. That’s a major victory for Aston Martin. Alonso has been in the second-most DFS F1 optimal lineups this season.
4. Lewis Hamilton ($9,200) — Just when it looked like Hamilton was going to get back on the top step, he began to slide down the grid. After consecutive fourth-place finishes, Hamilton has finished sixth in back-to-back races.
5. Charles Leclerc ($7,600) — A top-5 finish in four of the last seven races does not seem like a great accomplishment for Leclerc or Ferrari. Compared to how things were going, it’s a modest step in the right direction.

6. Carlos Sainz ($7,400) — Ferrari has come alive. Sainz finished fifth in the Dutch Grand Prix. He followed that race with a podium in Ferrari’s home country of Italy.
7. George Russell ($8,200) — This was supposed to be a better season for Russell. There’s no shame in being seventh in the standings, but given the competition outside of Red Bull, a top-5 position should be expected with a top-3 position as the target.
8. Lando Norris ($9,000) — One of the few highlights for McLaren in 2022 was Lando’s fourth-place finish in the Singapore Grand Prix. Their cars are faster this season. Is a win on the menu?
9. Nico Hulkenberg ($3,600) — He has been an optimal fantasy Formula 1 pick in three of the last four GPs. A Haas driver has been in the optimal DFS F1 lineup in four straight races. Haas is the punt.
10. Alex Albon ($6,000) — Williams has speed, at least on the straights. It’s getting the job done. Albon has a top-10 finish in back-to-back races and four of the last seven GPs. That qualifies as a successful season for Williams.
