The Qatar Grand Prix is one of the most unpredictable rounds of F1 Fantasy 2025, and this Team Selection episode gives you the clarity you need before the chaos hits the Lusail International Circuit. With extreme temperatures, fast-flowing corners, and the unique DRS zone shaping lap times and overtakes, getting your lineups right this week can be the difference between a massive climb or a painful drop in the rankings. In this breakdown, we walk through every major consideration heading into Qatar — from form, to pace trends, to value picks. Lando Norris continues to pressure the front of the field, Max Verstappen still carries explosive scoring potential, and midfield options may offer the flexibility you need for smart transfers. Whether you're locking in premium drivers or squeezing value from tight budgets, this guide helps you build a lineup that survives (and thrives) in Lusail.
