My biggest flex is sharing a birthday with the GOAT.
Mine isn't as cool as 100, but it's a day nonetheless! I think I'm officially 'pushing 30' now
BBC London@BBCLondonNews
Happy 100th birthday, Sir David Attenborough 🎉❤️ The broadcaster who changed how we see the natural world. #DavidAttenborough

Gutted that I'm not going to see this. A stunning book
The Terrace@terracepodcast
Black Diamonds and the Blue Brazil – the stage show @DuncMcKay is joined by @TheGaryMcNair to learn all about the new production, opening this Friday at the @lyceumedinburgh, based on Ron Ferguson’s classic book about a season following @CowdenbeathFC. patreon.com/posts/15765341…

@F1antasyFun @ReinBerglund I think it's a brilliant idea but there will be 100% a reason why it wouldn't work 😂 obviously anybody already on minus points wouldn't lose any more I guess
English
@FTSY_Slipstream @ReinBerglund Ahhhh yes. That would be suitable, eh? Would be much preferred to having the driver tied to constructor. 50% reduction would still be fine imo. Each driver, of course, represents 1/2 the constructor, etc. It almost makes TOO MUCH sense 😂
English
An excellent point re #F1Fantasy. I shouldn't need to sell 60% of my drivers after one bad race for them!

@F_FantasyHub Again this is an another example of why #F1Fantasy for the past 2 seasons has been mehhh. This game is meant to be played for points not to build budget
English
@F1antasyFun @ReinBerglund Oh I just mean for the driver itself. If Norris retires then he loses half his points but the rest of the team are the same. Means having somebody like Hulkenburg retire isn't quite the disaster!
English
@FTSY_Slipstream @ReinBerglund Could be interesting…but %’s really fck w/the math. So…an amazing week for your T1 overall could majorly be destroyed (even worse than the -20 would have) if the set % is gnarly enough. Would have to be an added function f(x) in addition to a %, imo. Could be 🌶️
English
@F1antasyFun @ReinBerglund What about losing a % of points that you've earned that race week?
English
@FTSY_Slipstream @ReinBerglund It certainly does need to be reduced! We’ve argued this pt. for years. I think most would agree ~50% reduction would be appropriate, as it deserves to be penalized, but not to the extent of affecting the entire game and outcome(s) as it does. #F1Fantasy
English
@LukeFF1Fantasy @F1FantasyGavin @ReinBerglund I agree with that to be honest. Maybe positions gained needs to go as well!
English
@F1FantasyGavin @FTSY_Slipstream @ReinBerglund I’ve often thought the fix is to actually reward finishing the race. Imagine starting and finishing 15th and getting zero points but a 20th place who finishes 18th because of 2xDNF’s gets more points.
+5pts for each driver who sees the 🏁 = 1 DNF and 4 finishes is manageable.
English
@F1FantasyGavin @F_FantasyHub @ReinBerglund @F1 Only things I would change currently:
Reduce the DNF penalty
Get rid of the Driver of the Day
Give more points for qualifying. Point for getting through Q1 etc
I like getting overtake points as it means there's interest basically throughout most races!
English
@F_FantasyHub @ReinBerglund @FTSY_Slipstream 100% agree Rob. 2022 scoring felt cleaner and more strategic. The -10 DNF was harsh but fair, position caps stopped huge swings, and streak bonuses rewarded consistency.
The current scoring system gives Assistant Manager chip in FPL vibes 😂
Bring back simpler times @F1
English
@LeapsFrog24 I'm thinking along the same lines as you now. I'm basically going to go to MCL/MER and then switch my drivers often. Fastest way to go to 4A while still getting decent points.
As you're an obvious #F1Fantasy enthusiast what sort of changes would you make to the game?
English
@FTSY_Slipstream Of course though I had to sacrifice picking the DRS driver I actually wanted in Miami due to budget purposes. I wasn’t necessarily afraid of the Norris price action. It was more about the budget action from the rest of the team to accommodate someone 2 million more expensive.
English
@ReinBerglund I've seen a few say the DNF penalty needs to be reduced and I agree. Take Gasly at Miami as an example. He's flipped by another car and gets a -20!
What would you suggest the penalty should be? -5? -10?
English
@FTSY_Slipstream It's funny because I think they introduced the 3 race average for budget gains to combat this exact feeling (tb to when one DNF cost you 1.5M on your premium assets)
The problem is the DNF penalty is still freaking -20 points so you still lose budget on your DNFs every time...
English
➡️Hulkenburg, Stroll and Hadjar the only 3 drivers to drop 0.6M for each race
➡️The current World #1 only has a budget of 104M
➡️Top podcaster @TomP1Bellingham from @MattP1Tommy is ranked 38th in the World!
➡️The highest scoring driver not in a top 4 team? Carlos Sainz
English
Other random #F1Fantasy stats after 4 races:
➡️Perez has double the number of overtakes that Bottas does (30 v 15)
➡️Alonso has the 9th most overtakes this season despite only finishing 2 races
➡️Ocon is the only driver to have full prices rises each race (+2.4M)
English
Next race in #F1Fantasy is of course 🇨🇦
What happened last year?
👍Mercedes Dominated - top 2 drivers and top Constructor
👍Alonso performed well with 12 overtakes
👎Norris of course rammed into the back of Piastri
👎Lawson (car overheated) & Albon (engine) the only other DNFs
English
@mrcinjakubowski Wait for the practice sessions. Cola/Merc v Ocon/McLaren. I think the Merc team shades it currently but wait and see
English
@potpanmanF1 Can't decide if it's worth a wildcard so early in the season and also right before Monaco where I imagine Ferrari will be decent.
English
@FTSY_Slipstream I can get that with 0m in the bank! I actually like it a fair bit. Budget gain in general is tough this week and this allows the best constructors for a sprint
English
Early early #F1Fantasy thoughts. If I'm having to wildcard to get out of this budget mess then do I go for Merc and McLaren? I don't hate it but there's a number of B tier drivers I do not want here!
English
@VanIceF1 I absolutely hate it. I'd rather sack off some value and get some points than going for Perez and his inevitable 6 points.
English
@FTSY_Slipstream I don't like this... fighting for 0.1 mill to fit in Perez.
English
@TheVocalHero Honestly not sure right now. I've got LAW BEA & HUL who will all lose value. Tempted to keep Bearman and swap out the others.
Can't decide if I just chase points for a couple races and try and break into the top 1k
English
@Marinmk1 Think I'd need a miracle for either to reach that threshold!
English
Well this is just utterly awful for #f1fantasy for me. I don't want Alonso. I don't want Perez. I don't want Bottas. I don't want Gabby. I don't trust Franco.
