1. Max Verstappen ($14,400) — The bad news is that Verstappen hasn’t won since the Spanish Grand Prix. The good news is that it’s only been two races. Also, despite having a fifth-place car in the British Grand Prix, Verstappen finished second.
2. Lando Norris ($12,400) — The British Grand Prix was a missed opportunity. Poor pit timing may have cost him the win. Norris ultimately settled for third earning his seventh podium in the last 10 races.
3. Oscar Piastri ($9,400) — Similar to his McLaren teammate, poor pit sequencing spoiled what could have been a podium at Silverstone. McLaren and Mercedes are not just in a heated battle for the runner-up constructor. These teams have shown that they can go head-to-head with Red Bull.
4. Lewis Hamilton ($9,800) — As predicted in the DK Network Fantasy F1 Rankings, Hamilton earned a 2024 F1 victory. There is no denying that Mercedes unlocked something with their Canadian Grand Prix upgrade earlier this summer.
5. Carlos Sainz Jr ($8,800) — Ferarri has fallen down the pecking order. Despite their position on the grid, Sainz continues to get the most out of his car. Sainz’s top-5 finish in the British Grand Prix was his ninth in 11 races this season.

6. Charles Leclerc ($9,000) — After another disappointing Grand Prix, Leclerc’s salary remains relatively low. His affordable salary had led to Leclerc being a winning DFS F1 pick five times (second-most).
7. George Russell ($10,000) — A lot changes in a week when the best drivers and billion-dollar teams do battle in Formula 1. Russell was on top of the world after winning the Austrian Grand Prix. The next week he won the pole in his home race but retired early with a water system issue.
8. Nico Hulkenberg ($5,400) — It’s hard to decide what stat is more stunning. The Haas driver finished sixth two races in a row or he’s been an optimal DraftKings DFS F1 pick in four in a row — seven in total.
9. Valtteri Bottas ($3,400) — Haas has been the most consistent Fantasy F1 value target but Kick Sauber isn’t far behind. Bottas was an optimal DFS F1 pick for the British Grand Prix. That was the third time in the last five races. Guanyu Zhou ($3,200) has been optimal five times this season.
10. Sergio Perez ($7,400) — It’s always hard to pick Checo knowing that he will never earn the head-to-head points on DraftKings. It’s hard to pick Checo given his recent performances. It’s a little easier at this price. He’s bound to turn things around. Perez started the season with sixth consecutive top-5 finishes.
