Max Verstappen is heating up with back-to-back wins in Malaysia and Singapore, and with four wins and three other podium finishes at COTA, will anyone be able to catch him as Formula 1 returns to Austin for another United States Grand Prix?


Adam and Terry discuss the biggest considerations you’ll face planning the best F1 Fantasy lineups for the Circuit of the Americas, including Max Verstappen’s monstrous run and whether Kimi Antonelli can catch him, the Mercedes vs. Red Bull constructor call that hinges on George Russell and Isack Hadjar, and whether COTA is the track where Ferrari and Charles Leclerc finally come alive.


Everything you need to know:

  • If Kimi Antonelli can catch Max Verstappen for your 2X Boost
  • Will Mercedes' Malaysia upgrades actually close the gap, or should you stick with Red Bull?
  • Mercedes vs. Red Bull: the George Russell vs. Isack Hadjar call that determines your top constructor
  • Why COTA could be the track where Ferrari and Leclerc come alive
