Fantasy F1 2018 - It is done

Post by Aislabie »

Morning all, it's nearly time for the season to get going, so I thought I'd run a little something.

Image

Your job here is to pick the best possible line-up for the 2018 F1 season, and to be ruthless enough to make the changes your team needs. I am of course happy to answer any questions you may have about the whole thing.

Disclaimers:
  • The $100m budget isn't very restrictive - I know, but it is just restrictive enough that it should force some creativity in your team selections.
  • You're still meant to be running a thing - I know, and my plans for it haven't gone away. Annoyingly, my uni workload ramped up quite a lot over the last few weeks.
  • Nobody will pick Honda - Poor Honda.

I'm going to go for a mixture of young drivers and the best chassis/engines
Team Name: TCBY F1 (I can't think of a clever name)
Nationality: Britain
Chassis: Red Bull RB14
Engine: Ferrari
Drivers: Esteban Ocon, Carlos Sainz Jr.
Total Cost= 24+30+11+10= $75m

Also, I assume different teams can run the same chassis (otherwise I'll need a new one)

The only thing I'd like to avoid is a completely identical team to one already posted. However, there is an issue in that Ocon will be driving with a Mercedes engine. Could always replace him with Alonso?

Otherwise, your team is fine, title gore and all. (But please change your teams name it's horrible)

I'll adjust it then (you didn't actually originally state that drivers had to drive with a different engine than in RL- you only mentioned chassis)

Okay, so if points were given out on a Saturday, these would be the standings for the Australian Grand Prix:

Code: Select all

1/  Scuderia Ambrosiana              81 points
2/  Czechmate Motorsports            80 points
3/  Kinan Motorsports                80 points
4/  Stefan Grand Prix                68 points
5/  Laotian State Racing Division    63 points
6/  Neste Oil Salojarvi MOtorsport   59 points
7/  TCBY F1                          57 points
8/  KS Formula                       56 points
9/  GPF1 Racing Team                 53 points
Of course, points aren't given out on a Saturday, but these are the kind of values you can expect.

Looks like Team Alba have become this series Stefan GP and barred from the first race! :pantano:

Standings after the Australian Grand Prix

Post by Aislabie »

Here are the standings after the Australian Grand Prix, now including all the teams!

Image

In this race, the best possible combination would have been Lewis Hamilton & Fernando Alonso, with a Red Bull chassis and Ferrari engine. That would have scored the maximum 88 points.

Bahrain standings

Post by Aislabie »

Image

I know it's a little late, but here are the standings after the Bahrain Grand Prix. For this race, the perfect combination would have been Pierre Gasly and Nico Hulkenberg, driving a Mercedes chassis with Ferrari power.

Now I vaguely remember someone requesting a change to their team in advance of the Chinese Grand Prix when we were talking about it in the Mibbit chat. If that person could let me know what that change was and I'll sort that out for the Chinese scores.

Fantasy F1 2018 - Post-Austria update

Post by Aislabie »

Image

Greetings all and apologies that this hasn't been updated in so long. The most honest answer as to why is that I simply forgot I was running it until I was reminded today by my own forum signature.

There's actually a really interesting title battle shaping up between Czechmate Motorsport (Reject_Dom), Kinan Motorsports (Aggi), Scuderia Ambrosiana (Aislabie) and Laotian SRD (WaffleCat), all of whom are split by just 13 points across the season so far.

I should also add that I am taking this opportunity to substitute the disappointing Stoffel Vandoorne for the revelatory Kevin Magnussen from Silverstone onwards in the hope of closing that gap

I shall swap Kimi Raikkonen for Max Verstappen, now that Max is performing well, and I shall ditch the Hondas for the Ferrari power units. I want to stop finishing last all the time. :facepalm:
