Hadjar and Bortoleto Reveal F1 Fantasy Price Floor

Entering the Japanese Grand Prix, Isack Hadjar and Gabriel Bortoleto needed a big afternoon to avoid the maximum Tier B price drop. Hadjar scored 8 points in Japan while Hadjar logged -2 points, so all signs pointed to a $0.6M loss for both drivers. What happened instead was a milestone moment for the 2025 F1 Fantasy game that unlocks new strategies for future races.

Hadjar's price only decreased by $0.5M, an amount that no other driver lost through the first two races. Bortoleto lost just $0.3M, half of what was predicted based on his result, and when you line up their two driver cards the rationale comes into focus.

The game stopped decreasing Hadjar and Bortoleto's price once they reached $4.5M, indicating that a price floor prevents drivers from losing their entire value. Moving forward, regardless of their result, Hadjar and Bortoleto can no longer lose value and at such a low price they enable fantasy strategists to afford more expensive assets on their team.

Looking ahead to Bahrain, the price formula no longer includes Hadjar's DNS penalty from Australia and his 19 total points scored over the last two races suggest that a price increase is in the cards. Expect Hadjar to earn a Buy rating on The Fantasy Formula this week, while Bortoleto presents a low-risk budget option as well. These affordable options will bring teams closer to the Piastri/McLaren/Mercedes meta that so many have anticipated.
