Formula 1 British Grand Prix DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy F1 Lineup Picks

Lewis Hamilton - F1 DFS lineup picks Draftkings daily fantasy Formula 1

Justin Carter's DraftKings and FanDuel DFS lineup picks for the Formula 1 British Grand Prix. Read our daily fantasy F1 advice and sleepers analysis.

Formula 1 heads to the UK this weekend for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Last season, Max Verstappen won this race, taking the victory by 3.798 seconds over Lando Norris

Speaking of Verstappen and Norris, the two were fighting for the win last weekend in the Austrian Grand Prix when they made contact with each other. That contact ended the day for Norris, while it forced Verstappen to the pits for repairs. That allowed George Russell to get past and go on to win the race.

Below you will find our Formula 1 DraftKings DFS lineup picks for the British Grand Prix on 7/7/24, with the slate locking at 10:00 a.m. EDT. If you have any questions or want to talk about Formula 1, you can find me on Twitter at @juscarts.

How Does Formula 1 Fantasy Work?

Here's how the scoring and format work for F1 DFS on DraftKings. You'll pick five drivers and a constructor. One of those drivers will be your captain, who earns you 1.5 times the points but also costs 1.5 times as much as they usually cost. For the constructor, you're choosing one of the F1 teams.

So here's how the scoring works. Your driver only gets points if they finish in the top 10. Here's a chart for how that breaks down:

Finishing Spot DraftKings Points
1 25
2 18
3 15
4 12
5 10
6 8
7 6
8 4
9 2
10 1

In addition, the driver with the fastest lap of the race gets three points. You get 0.1 points per lap led, five points for beating your teammate, one point for being classified at the finish (finished 90% of the race, essentially), and points for place differential.

Finish three spots higher than your grid position and you get two points. Finish five better and you get three points. Finish 10 better to get five points. You also lose points for a negative place differential, starting at three spots.

The constructor points work the same way, with some added points if both cars do well. It's confusing, but for Formula 1 DFS to work, it probably had to be confusing. Now that we've gone over that, let's talk drivers. Here's what I've put together as a kind of base lineup.

 

Captain: George Russell ($15.0K)

Starts First

George Russell's first win of the season was a complete surprise as it appeared he would be content to finish a distant third before the contact between Verstappen and Norris. Anything can happen in racing, which is how the Brit managed to win in Austria.

This weekend, a second consecutive win for Russell wouldn't come as a surprise at all. Mercedes appears to be the fastest team this weekend, sweeping the front row in qualifying. And it wasn't just in qualifying that Russell had speed, as he and Hamilton were also the top two cars in P3 on Saturday. The team wasn't quite as good on Friday in practice, but it appears to be the favorites heading into Sunday. I have Russell over Hamilton here because he's finished ahead of Hamilton in three of the past four races and has led laps in three consecutive GPs.

 

Constructor: Aston Martin ($3.8K)

There's a very clear delineation at Constructor right now. The top four all cost at least $9.8K and average over 20 DraftKings points per race. The rest cost $3.8K less and average fewer than 10 DK points.

That huge price difference makes it appealing to go with a value play if that team has speed on a particular weekend. Alpine has been a solid option lately, posting 10 DraftKings points in two of the last three races. This week, Aston Martin feels like a solid play as both drivers start in the top 10. Hopefully, they can both finish there, even if it's just in the back half of the top 10.

 

Lando Norris ($12.4K)

Starts Third

This feels like a good weekend to fade Max Verstappen as he just hasn't stood out. He hasn't been higher than fourth fastest in any session so far this weekend. He's especially worth fading if you think Mercedes will dominate this race.

That's where a pivot to Lando Norris feels smart. Norris was fastest in both P1 and P2 and while Mercedes got past him on Saturday, he's still in a good spot to fight for a podium and take advantage if the two Mercedes cars don't have the same speed on Sunday that they showcased on Saturday.

 

Carlos Sainz Jr. ($8.8K)

Starts Seventh

Both Ferrari cars are close in pricing this weekend and while I don't expect big things out of them after some disappointment in qualifying, I think both are definitely in play, especially if you don't want to run double Mercedes with both Russell and Hamilton.

I'll highlight Sainz here because he's a former winner at Silverstone, taking the 2022 British Grand Prix from the pole. He comes into this race having finished ahead of teammate Charles Leclerc in two of the last three races and he has just one finish lower than sixth all year.

The concern here is that Ferrari's recent upgrades might not have worked very well, but it's still hard to imagine Sainz finishing lower than his starting spot unless he gets into some trouble.

 

Nico Hulkenberg ($4.8K)

Starts Sixth

Haas came hard with the upgrades this weekend and it showed as Nico Hulkenberg qualified sixth for the British Grand Prix. He comes into this race having finished ahead of teammate Kevin Magnussen in every race this season except the opener in Bahrain. In fact, since Bahrain, Hulkenberg hasn't finished lower than 11th. I love the value of this play.

 

Lance Stroll ($4.6K)

Starts Eighth

If we're going to play Aston Martin at Constructor, then let's stack an AM driver in our lineup as well. Lance Stroll starts two spots ahead of teammate Fernando Alonso and while Stroll is the inferior driver, the fact that he's $1.2K cheaper makes him appealing as a value play. He is risky, but he's cheap enough for that risk to not be a dealbreaker.
