Unsurprisingly, CFP will continue finding new ways to capitalize on an atmosphere created by the very humans hurt most by this greedy ticketing policy. Build it and they will come, capitalize, and kick ‘you’ out of the house ‘you’ built. Can’t wait for @JoshPateCFB as commish

@F1FantasyHub Very unique situation, what do I do? Used no negative last week to keep Logan. Fell asleep last night and forgot ti use my transfers to move off. do I use my Final Fix to avoid the negative tomorrow?

Banging lap from Norris to take pole! Verstappen is going to be giving Lando nightmares on that first lap tomorrow 😂 Leclerc lap time deleted. Both Ferrari drivers start P9 and P10 (assuming Sainz doesn’t take a new gearbox). Didn’t expect that for Ferrari after practice.

@F1twburner Help me out, why would you want Norris?

Qualifying masterclass and hoping for an ALB penalty for extra points in the race Using Final Fix to swap LEC➡️NOR is a real possibility #F1 #F1Fantasy

@f1fantasytools Thanks! Of course, they may decide after Brazil to switch the ruling, but I’ll forge ahead for now.

@DespardMack A user in our Discord server sent a message to support about this and this was the response 👇 So in short: yes it should. (But of course, with F1Fantasy you never know…)

Just in time for FP2, the Team Calculator v1 is now also updated with the new -25 points for inactive #F1Fantasy drivers (SAR & MAG), while BEA is added as the new active Haas driver at 15M! 📢

@F1FantasyHub Is there a good place to view sector time results to maybe piece together who is running well at which points on the track? Many teams can hide their potential lap times, so wondering if that data is readily available.

Me before FP1: “Lando Norris is a set-and-forget 2x option for the next couple of weeks” Me after FP1: “So how can I fit Max in here instead?” 😂

@F1FantasyHub @F1FantasyHub Any news yet on if No Neg chip applies to Inactive drivers?

@lockandcash What book?

Not sure if it’s talk of nice shade underneath Academy Sports tailgate tents, or frequent stops at QT for Jerky. Dude can’t get enough of @JoshPateCFB and I couldn’t agree more. Made me smile tonight, thought I’d share.

WATCH — a #Chiefs sideline member gets in #Ravens Roquan Smith’s face & shoves him at the 0:14 mark in the video. #Eagles Big Dom was suspended 5 games for moving #49ers Dre Greenlaw. Interested to see what the NFL does, but we all know how KC’s treated…

Starting the CFB season off right thanks to @JoshPateCFB for some great insight! @FDSportsbook best UI out there for betting. Maybe we’ll play some spreads next week too.

Florida a slight home dog to Miami and the fan base is fighting with the program over which color shirts to wear? Am I reading this right?

@F1FantasyHub Low budget warning!! Thinking Wildcard this weekend, total team overhaul. Think I’d prefer MCL + VER over RED + NOR no? I’d rather have NOR PIA VER than VER PER NOR. What do yall think?

📝 Final Thoughts Following SQ: - Norris is the best long-term 2x option, but I think if you already own Verstappen he’s an easy hold for this weekend - McLaren and Red Bull (specifically Verstappen) setting the pace on track and in #F1Fantasy - these are my two favourite constructors this weekend, followed by Mercedes and Ferrari - Although I like the two B Tier driver lineup, it’s very difficult to afford with VER/NOR and two premium constructors - I do think the double B Tier lineup is more appealing in non-sprint weekends - In the sprint race (as we saw in Miami and China), backmarkers can easily outscore drivers starting P4-P10 with more overtakes and positions gained on offer - Hulk and the Sauber pair look particularly appealing - I think -10s are worth it for premium constructors and drivers, but seldom will it pay off for C Tier drivers who infrequently score more than 10 points My Final Team Selection Thoughts ⬇️ I am almost certainly owning RED NOR this week. Undecided on which C tier driver I will own out GAS/MAG. Could take a -10 if I want MCL over MER. Will publish my team here in the next 4-5 hours as the deadline will be when I’m asleep 😴😴

@F1FantasyHub As I ask this you answer my question, great video!

@F1FantasyHub Thoughts on using the 3x chip this week in Austria? Could keep 2 B drivers and 2 good constructors, or opt for double A tier drivers and trade a constructor for Alpine.

New #F1Fantasy video 🎥 out now! I preview the upcoming race week and provide my final thoughts on key assets, chip usage and address all the major talking points! 🔎 One of my longest videos with so much to research this week - hope you enjoy it! 📺youtu.be/JiI6TmMX-I8?si…

@F1FantasyHub I’m worried to leave the 3x to later this season when most can afford many good drivers and the edge is less.

@F1FantasyHub @F1FantasyHub Considering a Final Fix from Red Bull to McLaren. 1) that’s allowed right? 2) Is that potential point swing even worth the chip this weekend?

Qualifying could not have gone ANY BETTER. Leclerc, Piastri, Sainz, Norris in the top four. Sargeant, Bottas and Zhou in the bottom four. Manifesting a Leclerc win on home soil tomorrow 🙏🏼

@F1FantasyHub Am sticking LEC, so I was hesitant to use second chip of year on my 4 and 5. Curious when wildcard might be useful later in season? I suppose second half of season upgrades to another team shifting the field majorly?

@DespardMack I wouldn’t use the wildcard unless constructors and/or the 2x driver is also going to be swapped. I think TSU and HUL are great transfers in and of itself

Very seriously considering VER + SAR ➡️ LEC + TSU after two practice sessions. The budget upside these two drivers have is immense These upgrades appear to be working for Ferrari so far. Will very likely still hold onto the Red Bull constructor though.

@F1FantasyHub @F1FantasyHub curious why you have Stroll at the top of your best of the rest rankings here, while in your recent YT video you talk on them being huge gambles as a budget builder sacrificing points. What moves the needle enough for you at his cost above a better duo here?

My preferred lineup foundations for Imola: 📈 Heavy Hitters: Skeleton: RED FER VER Remaining slot(s): If you can stretch to TSU and/or a Haas driver, that’s a great starting point. They are both a consistent source of points and budget gain. See notes below on remaining slots. Why I like it: Continues to target VER as the best 2x option. Reliable to the extent that backmarker results tend to be mixed so Max will always be the most reliable source of points. 💰Balanced Lineup with Budget Upside: Skeleton: RED FER TSU HUL Remaining slot(s): Biggest decision for this team rests on 2x slot. LEC and SAI get upgrades. NOR had a full package in Miami and won the race. Red Bull are also bringing some and Perez has had four podiums in six races. Check out my Final Thoughts video for my order of preference. TSU/HUL pick themselves based on recent form and reliability. See notes below on remaining slots. Why I like it: If the Ferrari upgrades deliver, there is sizable budget upside with LEC/SAI. NOR has scored a podium every race he’s attended at Imola. Budget will likely increase comparatively more than a VER team. 📝 Notes/Opinions on Remaining Slots This is my current order of preference (budget-dependent): STR, MAG, GAS, ZHO, ALB, BOT, SAR When comparing two different duos in this list, go with your gut. The midfield and backmarker outcomes are so difficult to predict. Would I go STR + SAR over MAG + HUL? Probably not, but I don’t think there’s an objectively right answer for any number of combos.
