Fanta F1 Canadian GP TOP & FLOP: Kimi Antonelli flies away, disaster for three big names: here are the biggest winners and losers from the Montréal weekend in Fanta F1.
The Canadian Grand Prix ended with a simply unstoppable Kimi Antonelli. The Italian secured his fourth consecutive Formula 1 victory, becoming the first driver in history to achieve four straight wins as his first four career victories. In the GPK Fanta F1 Global League, the number 12 is now flying clear at the top, while among the biggest flops of the Montréal weekend were two top drivers who sank their fantasy team principals. Here are the best and worst performers from Canada.
The 3 TOP Performers in Canada
The true TOP performer of the weekend can only be Kimi Antonelli. The Italian dominated the race, clearly outperforming even teammate George Russell, who was forced to retire before half distance. Antonelli scored an impressive 49 Fanta F1 points, with his only penalty being a small -0.5 from the Sprint Race, where he finished behind the Briton.
The second TOP performer is surprisingly Lewis Hamilton. The Ferrari driver collected 30 total points, losing only 0.5 points due to the Sprint Race, where he was overtaken late on by Charles Leclerc. In the Grand Prix itself, however, the seven-time world champion produced a vintage-style comeback from fifth to second place, finishing behind only Antonelli and even beating his Monegasque teammate in qualifying. A classic Hamilton weekend that very few fantasy managers expected.
The third TOP performer, more because of value relative to expectations than pure scoring, is Franco Colapinto. The Argentine scored 15 points, matching Isack Hadjar, but impressed above all with his consistency throughout the weekend. Always ahead of Pierre Gasly and gaining positions without major bonuses or mistakes. Colapinto was probably the best bargain of the weekend considering his low cost.
The 3 FLOP Performers in Canada
The real FLOP of the weekend is George Russell. The Brit arrived in Montréal needing to recover major championship points, but instead leaves with a devastating deficit and nearly 50 points behind in the standings. In Fanta F1 he managed only 10.5 points, heavily weighed down by 15 penalty points. For such an expensive and normally reliable driver, this collapse could trigger a dangerous downward spiral.
The second flop is Lando Norris. The McLaren driver salvaged only the Sprint Race, while the Grand Prix itself turned into a complete disaster Il ritiro gli costa 15 punti di malus e il bottino finale si ferma a un misero 3,5. His retirement cost him 15 penalty points, leaving him with a miserable final score of just 3.5 points.

Completing the FLOP list is Oscar Piastri. The Australian also endured a very difficult weekend with a McLaren unable to challenge Mercedes. The MCL40’s competitiveness and reliability problems became increasingly evident, and the number 81 scored just 9 points. Far too little for a top driver and for a team hoping to reopen the championship battle.
