Ahead of the 2021 Formula 1 Season, we've created a Fantasy F1 team for the DriveTribe community to use as its vessel for success during the coming campaign. We've already got a name sorted - "That's Pants DownSideUp Racing" chosen by Ferdi Kamphuis🏳️🌈 - and now we need you all to choose our five drivers and the constructor you want on our team for the first race of the year in Bahrain!
So here's what you need to know. The budget for the team is $100 million. Below is a list of how much every team and drivers costs. What we need you to do is choose your favourite combination, comment it in the list below and then we'll choose whichever comment gets the most likes. It's as simple as that.
And if you're not happy with the choice we made, you can come back again ahead of the next Grand Prix and have your say then as we ask you all if any modifications should be made to the team. Sounds good? Good.
You have until Wednesday 10th March 2021 at 12:00 BST to comment your preferred driver line-up.

Lewis Hamilton - $33.5 million
Max Verstappen - $24.8 million

I’d wait until preseason testing because right now it’s too hard to pick a team...
If I had to:
Perez (no brainier; he’s cheap plus you can turbo driver him), Ocon, Tsunoda, Stroll, Latifi (he gains places). Have no idea how close to the budget that is, you could probably sub Latifi for someone better.
Team: perhaps AM
It's no fun waiting until pre-season testing, we'll be far too informed then 😂😉
Interesting combination though, let's see if others get on board with your plan...

I am just choose the drivers I like.
SEB
LANDO
MICK
In a MCLAREN team
A good mix, I like it.
There is only one thing wrong with your poll, you missed Mazepin. He should not cost anything though, he and Lance Stroll by the way should give you money.
1) Norris
2) Hamilton
3) Vettel
Any preference on Constructors?
1) Mclaren
2) Mercedes
3) Aston Martin
Read moreTeam: Mercedes because winning feels good
1st driver: Hamilton
2nd driver: Norris
3rd driver: Russel
Strong line-up there, I like it. With whatever budget is left, do you want any other two drivers?
Probably Mick Schumacher because he's all I can afford 😅
Constructor-Mclaren/Aston
Drivers-IDM, all I don't want is Hamilton, but I'll be much happy if we get Seb and Kimi
Can probably get close to buying Seb and Kimi for the same money as Lewis.
