F1 Fantasy League 2023

Damn that lewis DSQ really hurt.. up into 2nd hopefully i can chase down first

[johnny vee]

I had the same thing. I had Ham plus the Merc as constructor. That plank wear cost me 50 points. I also dropped from 1st to 2nd. 1st prize in our league is equivalent to $300.

Team value: 117M (with 1.5 M in the bank). Do I get a cookie or is this meh?

Unfortunately, the competition is on points, not money, only 14th on the F1T league on points...

118.5m with 7m in the bank.

My selections on race day generally suffer though

[BassVirolla]

This year I've failed to fill the predictions in 3 GPs.

Nevertheless, not so bad, but I've done one more change in my team after the free allocation. I messed badly at the start of the season.

Still, I can't get rid of the AM. But I have McLaren & RB.

Nice to see, that the top two positions will quite likely go to non paying players.
Question to you two: How many changes did you make?
Maybe I was a bit too scared of the penalty points and missed some opportunities.

[hollus]

I am too far from the top for my 8 changes to be a valuable data point.
Although perhaps not having Max might have been a factor?

Interesting season. P8 for me overall.

Without the Perez penalty it would have been a full house near enough except fastest lap for Dubai.

For my first time doing this, I did ok. Dacia in top 20! Now let's see a Haas Dacia in F1!

Congrats to everyone.
I was P2 before the last race within touching distance from P1, so i rolled the dice a bit with risky choices on the the last race trying to get P1. Didn't work out at the end, and i remained P2. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Haha...same issue here. I screwed up with AM and later Alpine...
I just did not care about the free allocations....the penalty points cost me about 5 positions

But good fun, let us go again next year!

At the end of the season, I've missed to fill the predictions also in Las Vegas.

This year, +1000 positions worse than 2022 (around 1000th versus around 2000th), but not so bad given how much difficult was this year for me, not only in Fantasy GP, leading to fail to play it religiously.

At least, Albon has been a good boy in the second half of the season, and Alonso never fails to deliver, given the opportunity.

[BorisTheBlade]

Did pick Alonso and AST right from the start, then switched to Norris and McL a bit late. Screwed up some other slots especially in the beginning.
Had 9 swaps until 2 races remaining. Then I went Pro, mostly to support the platform and had another 6 swaps. I think, the penalty for swapping is a bit too harsh for non Pro.
Also, they should reconsider their points system for Qualy especially. Superb Qualifiers like Hulk get penalised for losing positions in the race due to sluggish cars, while bad qualifiers like Perez score a lot of points for being out of position.

same i gambled for the last few races to try to catch 1st, but ended 3rd

[LVDH]

Yes, P4, no need to shower off any champagne, what a good season...
