Episode Details

Summer break ends with a bang! The Dutch Grand Prix is a Sprint weekend, and Sprint weekends have been the highest-scoring events of the 2026 season. That means you have one question to answer: do you chase those points now, or bank one more week of budget?

Adam and Terry break down both options as you plan the perfect F1 Fantasy lineup for Zandvoort, including which A-tier drivers are truly worth running if you can afford them, where to find budget building value, why hometown favorite Verstappen still looks underrated, and what’s really going on with Aston Martin’s new power unit.

Everything you need to know:

• The importance of Sprint weekends and when to pivot from budget building
• Which A-tier drivers are worth the money as you chase Sprint points
• What is really happening with Aston Martin’s new power unit
• Why the Global Top 100 shows you don’t need a 4A lineup to climb the leaderboard

• Our F1 Fantasy tier list: every driver and team ranked for the Dutch GP
