crazy weekend, you suggested me to use my no negative chip. ended with 201 points

3x NOR/PIA gamble to be different than all the final sprint folks... 😭😭😭

I know it was a crazy race, but punished again for having a higher budget and being able to reach Hul instead of Zho and Bot. A choice anyone would make if they could, but meant I was screwed more than most who had to go with Zho and Bot. When the luck of dodging DNFs is more important than picking the winner/strong team, it doesn't feel fun. Admittedly it hurts more as I took Ver out for Nor and brought in Hul! But this game is about DNF roulette. The negatvies are too high, -42 for a single driver!

Used 3x with low budget had williams, colapinto and albon. 121 points with 3x😢

xD

I was nearly right when I said Colapinto would end up as my 2x on auto pilot - except it was Gasly 😂 We won't talk about transferring out Max of my 1.7k ranked team (tbf that was when the sims heavily favoured MCL) 🥲

how do you see what position you've gone from. All I can find is arrow up or down and current rank. Thanks!

Hey Rein. All of the sudden my 3x boost in COTA becomes kind of a great play!

I'm glad I played the NN in Brazil and got lucky owning Zhou instead of Albon for that run you explained. One real shame for me was owning Mercedes instead of Ferrari in Austin, it cost me 60 points.

Indeed

Sorry, just had to vent somewhere. Dumped TSU and ALB because of the double DNF last week. Picked up HUL - for another double DNF by one guy 🤡

Omg please help! I have Sainz. Do I FF Russel in???

Autopilot time!

Re: Midfield Constructors - easiest way to look at imo is points per million. The top tier constructors get you the most points per million of any asset in the game so if the objective is to get the most points out of your budget they're the only viable option.

Things we love to see! 🎉

Max is a king in wet weather brazil and lewis also always cooks here would tend to might pick him up for this week have 3x and ff left

I used NO NEGATIVE chip before maintenance break now it is showing that l've already used it now l'm not able to re use it

going NN and hoping for a melee!

With rain in the forecast, would this not be the great equalizer? Maybe, HAM would be a wise outlier move.

Another one: triple MERC + FERR + SAI + Bott + COL and NN

I had both ALB and TSU 🙄

MCL - Triple FERR - double haas - COL + Nonegative?

MCL - Triple FERR - double haas - COL + Nonegative?

How did Sainz get 2 overtakes? I only remember the one to Max and then he was leading the rest of the race

I have Wilcard, 3x DRS and Autopilot, thoughts on using wilcard? maybe bring in Max for the last sprint or something? team is NOR, RUS, ALB, ZHO, COL and looking at bringing in SAI and BOT for RUS and ALB this week

Optimal team for a 126.3 budget with only 3x chip left? Asking so I can cover off against P2 in my league with my 134 budget 😂

3x tips for 108.7

I largely agree with you Rein. We shouldn't be waiting 12-24 hours after the race for final points due to difficulties in calculating the number of overtakes (and as of Tuesday morn, the whole app/site is down due to issues with ALB/TSU overtakes!!) I'm less bothered about the official app having real time point changes showing during the race - personally that would distract me from focusing on and enjoying the race.

Goes to show that F1 has so much room to grow

I know I do f1 fantasy on both f1 app and an app called grid rivals and GR updates right after the race finishes but f1 app takes forever sometimes

They just shut down F1 fantasy for “maintenance”

I have both. I cried so hard. Was rank 703, now definitely not top 1k anymore.

Shhhh, keep quiet about this! (I had ALB in my team!) 😂

men i completly forgot alex overtook the top 8 and then lapped half the field before turn 1

No, keep Tsunoda like that 😂 I should have chosen Zhou, an incredible 8 points for him...

The last thing u said, I would also love something like a live feed to look at what changes after a crash, SC or just in general. But for the Mexican GP and some other tracks they had issues to get data as mentioned in home menu

Has somebody seen the 18 overtakes of Albon or the 10 overtakes of Tsunoda during Mexico gp in less than 1 lap?!

well... updated but messed up the points with tsunoda and albon.

Tbh i understand if there is still some sort of discussion whether a driver gets a penalty or not after the race but if its an easy race like most of them are calculating the points should be really easy

I agree live points would be epic

still not updated 😂

Aged pretty well!

can i not use final fix now?

Would you FF PIA over NOR? I have RUS, and cant afford any other trade to PIA.

Boom. You did it! Good luck Rein. I do think most people would go Oscar, but your reasoning is quite sound with the Sainz pick

Good luck, I already have SAI.

Great info. Thanks!

Post-quali sims think PIA, NOR and LEC will all outperform SAI but I agree on this one.

I don't know about that one to be honest, going with Sainz seems super risky to me. Ever since Mexico came back to calendar it has been 50-50 has the pole driver kept the lead after T1 and if you don't count 15 and 16 since completely different regs then it's 2 times kept and 4 times lost. That being said good luck, who knows maybe this is the year where pole driver keeps the lead or Sainz can get the lead back even if he loses it

I have Norris and Sainz, is FF Norris to Piastri worth considering?
