Justifications

Colapinto (IN) / Lawson (OUT) Lawson’s gearbox failed under braking on lap 6, flipping Gasly’s car and ending his race — stewards confirmed mechanical, no penalty, but the output was -12 pts and his Racing Bulls constructor delivered only 2 pts for the entire weekend. The case for Lawson in the squad was always reliability + consistent midfield pace; the DNF undermines the first pillar and the constructor confirmed the second isn’t there right now.

Colapinto at Miami was the standout midfield performance of the race: career-best P7 (official, after Leclerc’s penalty), 9/10 driver rating from Autosport, ran as high as P4 on a long first stint before pitting on lap 32. His 41 season pts already exceed Lawson’s 38, at a price of $8.2M vs $8.1M — effectively identical cost, superior output. The entry window is closing ($7.6M at R03 entry, now $8.2M and likely to keep rising). Montreal is a mixed-character circuit with long straights and heavy braking zones; Alpine’s race pace has been genuinely competitive when Colapinto’s in rhythm.

Haas F1 Team (IN) / Racing Bulls (OUT) With Lawson exiting the driver roster, we hold zero Racing Bulls drivers — keeping the constructor becomes a blind bet on Lindblad alone. Lindblad’s Miami weekend was DNS in the sprint and P14 in the race. The structural case for Racing Bulls constructor is gone.

Haas is the most consistently productive midfield constructor at $9.8M: 118 season pts across Bearman (46 pts, 60% ownership — highest on the platform) and Ocon (56 pts, our own driver pick). Holding Ocon as a driver and Haas as constructor creates full exposure to all Haas scoring — both cars’ qualifying, race, and position-gained points all count. The +$1.1M premium over Racing Bulls reflects a genuine difference in output consistency, not just brand preference.

Hold: Antonelli, Leclerc, Ocon, Pérez, Ferrari Antonelli leads the championship on 100 pts with 4 wins — he has no realistic alternative as the squad anchor. Leclerc’s Miami self-inflicted penalty was costly but his underlying pace is real (sprint P3, P7 on road before the error); Ferrari upgraded heavily for Miami and the Canadian GP pace order may differ. Ocon is the most consistent Haas driver by season pts and we now hold the Haas constructor to capture Bearman too. Pérez has limited upside at Canada but at $7.6M there’s no better budget option — Lindblad ($7.0M, falling), Stroll ($5.6M, −37 pts), Bottas ($3.9M) are all worse. Ferrari constructor double-scores reliably; Hamilton has 7 Canadian GP wins on his record and that circuit suits his driving style.

Boost Pick

⚡ 2× Boost: Kimi Antonelli — Mercedes, $24.4M

Four wins from four starts; Mercedes are bringing their major Canada upgrade package (held back from Miami deliberately). Canada is a non-sprint weekend so the base ceiling is lower than Miami (likely 30–50 pts), but 2× on Antonelli is still the highest EV on the team by a substantial margin — the next best option (Leclerc) has a lower base probability after his lap-56 Miami error and Ferrari’s disappointing upgrade conversion. No chip this round: Canada’s non-sprint format caps the per-driver ceiling, and the 3 remaining chips should be preserved for a sprint weekend (Austrian R08 or Belgian R10) where Antonelli’s potential base jumps to 50–70 pts before the multiplier.
