5AF Fantasy F1 2024
5AF Fantasy F1 2024
Welcome to the eighth-annual 5AF Fantasy F1 league.
• The competition is open to all posters. Welcome aboard!
• You each have $50 million to spend on your team.
• You may select as many drivers as your budget allows. There is no advantage gained from not spending your entire budget.
• You are selecting by driver. If a driver switches teams, your points earned will follow that driver to the new team. If a driver is replaced or misses races due to injury, you will not earn points for that driver's replacement.
• Ties will be broken by looking at the points earned in each race by each fantasy participant and giving the highest point earner on a given week "first place," the next highest "second place" and so on. Ties are broken by whoever has more first-place finishes, and if necessary it goes on to second place, third place, etc. If there's still a tie, I will perform a coin flip.
• Your team must be unique. Please check what lineups have already been selected by other posters.
• The points earned by your selected drivers are the same as the points earned by the F1 drivers’ championship (1st place - 25 points; 2nd - 18; 3rd - 15; 4th -12; 5th - 10; 6th - 8; 7th - 6; 8th - 4; 9th - 2; 10th - 1).This includes the points earned during sprint-race qualifying
(1st place - 8 points; 2nd - 7; 3rd - 6; 4th - 5; 5th - 4; 6th - 3; 7th - 2; 8th - 1) and the point earned for fastest lap.

Driver salaries are again adapted from the f1.com fantasy league. I cut the overall budget right to the point where one cannot take both Verstappen and Perez at the same time.
5AF Fantasy F1 2024
24 races, what are they even doing..............
5AF Fantasy F1 2024
But seriously, thanks for organizing this again, Shyster. I think this is pretty thankless, and you take it on every season for no real reason that I can discern. But I'm glad you do. ![thumbup :thumb:](./images/smilies/thumbup.gif)

I have sworn off F1, but for Shyster I will do this.
Thanks again for the hard work of organizing this venture.
Also, that F1 fantasy league loves them some Lando

I haven't watched F1 since Masi made his famous radio call.
I'll pick some names out of a hat though. I can't possibly come in DFL twice.

Give me Max and Charles in charge.

Perez, Sainz, Stroll
@mikey this is your year.

Definitely feels harder to get combos working at 50 mil vs the 60 or 70 we've had recently.
Norris, Hamilton, Bottas
Norris, Hamilton, Bottas
5AF Fantasy F1 2024
Agree, I made my two prime picks and was left with a sum that was not enough to select one single potential (realistic) podium finisher/race winner nor two points haulers.
Charles of Monaco
Lewis Carl Hamilton
Danny Rick
I feel like you should get a credit if you select Stroll. I mean, his actual team sort of does.

Aston go brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
5AF Fantasy F1 2024
Yeah, I wanted to fit Alonso in somewhere but couldn't find any combos where I wouldn't be sacrificing the top end of my team and hoping that shitboxes like Williams would get lucky and score some points.
5AF Fantasy F1 2024
I'm going all second fiddle. Perez, Sainz, Stroll.
5AF Fantasy F1 2024
Max and Charles seems like the obvious combo ... and is already taken ffs.
Ok, then. Perez, Piastri, Tsunoda.

5AF Fantasy F1 2024
Eh, it was open all weekend before anyone picked. It is a race, after all.
5AF Fantasy F1 2024
I'm not complaining. It's a very boring combo that only a very boring person would pick.
5AF Fantasy F1 2024
I liked it a little better when the backmarkers were only worth a few bucks so you could tack a few of them onto your team. I never won anything that way but it was fun.
5AF Fantasy F1 2024
CBear did that one year and kicked all of our asses (it was 2021, just looked)
How far the mighty have fallen

5AF Fantasy F1 2024
I only drink Uno EquisI'm not complaining. It's a very boring combo that only a very boring person would pick.
And I figured a couple of people would try Max + #1 driver from somewhere else. I have been proven wrong.
5AF Fantasy F1 2024
dodint beat you to it.I'm going all second fiddle. Perez, Sainz, Stroll.
5AF Fantasy F1 2024
dodint beat you to it.
Well, I just failed reading comprehension.
5AF Fantasy F1 2024
I'm willing to make a trade for future draft picks.
5AF Fantasy F1 2024
Imma go with Norris, Perez, and Sargeant
So I believe we have the following:
Cbear3 - Verstappen, Leclerc
dodint - Perez, Sainz, Stroll
MR25 - Norris, Hamilton, Bottas
Shyster - Norris, Perez, Sargeant
tifosi - Hamilton, Leclerc, Ricciardo
Gaucho - Perez, Piastri, Tsunoda

Huh, would not have predicted that only one person would build a two-driver team around Verstappen.
