You can do what you need by adding your own init where you can pass in the id when you instantiate the form class:

class ProfileForm(ModelForm):
    def __init__(self, team_id, *args, **kwargs):
        super(ProfileForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        this_team = Team.objects.get(pk=team_id)

        teams = Team.objects.order_by('total_points')
        count = 0
        for team in teams:
            if team.pk == this_team.pk:
                break
            count += 1

        now = datetime.datetime.now().weekday()
        if now >= count:
            # show driver_one, driver_two, driver_three
        else:
            # do not show driver_one, driver_two, driver_three

class Meta:
    model = Team

#views.py
def my_view(request, team_id):
    profile_form = ProfileForm(team_id, request.POST or None)
    #more code here

Hope that helps you out.
