Do you think you can beat George Russell when it comes to Formula 1? Join the ‘Russell’s Rivals’ F1 Fantasy mini-league starting in Mexico and play for exclusive Mercedes prizes.
The new mini-league begins this weekend with the high-altitude racing of the Mexico City Grand Prix, continues with a Sprint weekend in Brazil (with even more points on offer), before culminating on the high-speed streets of Las Vegas.

Tips for your team
Before you head over to F1 Fantasy and assemble your team, consider your options. Max Verstappen has reopened the debate for the Drivers’ title, transforming an outside chance of catching the McLaren drivers into a three-way title fight. But will that secure you victory?
George Russell
The Mercedes driver has won both the Grand Prix and the Sprint in Sao Paulo. Can he do it again?
Max Verstappen
Max has vowed to go flat out in the title fight – Could you build a team around his quest for a fifth Drivers’ Championship?
Chips
Don’t forget to use your F1 Fantasy chips – such as No Negative, Limitless or Extra DRS – especially for the Sprint weekend in Brazil when more points are available.
All you need to do to join the fun is head to F1 Fantasy, pick your team and finalise it before Qualifying begins in Mexico.
