The Formula 1 racers have hit their mid-season break, so it's time to see how the NMS Fantasy League is going. Racing starts again this Sunday from Zandvoort in the Netherlands, and there is a driver change that could impact any fantasy teams. Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar has a wrist injury and will not be driving. His replacement will be Liam Lawson from the Racing Bulls team, and then Lawson's replacement for RB will be reserve driver Yuki Tsunoda. In the F1 Fantasy rules this year, you lose big points if one of your drivers does not drive, even due to injury, so if you have Hadjar or Lawson, you need to update your team!
NMS has been running an F1 Fantasy League again this year, and 2026 has been very unpredictable, because the cars are totally different than the last few years, with all new engines, hybrid power, dimensions, aerodynamics, etc. This has introduced more cars breaking down, good drivers not finishing races, and like I said, more unpredictable results than last year.
On the good news front, NMS leads the league in 1st place with one team, but my other two teams are not doing so well. With each fantasy team you can split your 100 million dollar budget over two teams and five drivers. My theory was for one of my teams to be made up of cheap drivers and expensive teams, and another team the opposite. To keep track of those strategies I cleverly named them "CHEAP DRIVERS" and "BARGAIN BASEMENT TEAMS." Based on those two teams being in 4th and 8th place, I'm starting to suspect that these strategies aren't very good!
