Hey Rob! Hope you had a great Xmas and New Year and wishing you some good luck this season! Great video as always 👍
Cheers - hope you had a great break over the holidays too! Crossing my fingers for less than 25 DNFs/DSQs this time around
@ Me too mate 🤞 😂
Great to see you back! If only I had heeded your sage advice I would have done better last season. Still haunted by Canada!
Canada, Monaco, Brazil - tracks that a lot of folks were hard done by at last season!
Hey welcome back! I’m so ready to get burned out as SOON as possible. Really excited about seeing the initial pricing. Particularly SAI, GAS, LAW and Antonelli. My initial thought is maybe targeting Lewis as he may well qualify badly and make up spots. We’ll see. Love the new graphics. Very slick 👌🏻
Cheers Mike, glad you like the visuals! I’m really curious to see where those four come in on price. I’d be surprised if Gasly was much higher than what he started last year at. The others will be interesting though. You’ll be glad to hear I’m doing a price predictions video with a fellow F1F content creator soon - get excited!!
Welcome back Rob. Good to finally see you again. Really like the new layout. Let's have a good season. Good luck, you've got this👍.
Thanks Jay, the visuals definitely need a refresh! Hope you’re feeling better now 👊🏼
@f1fantasyhub a lot better. Thanks Rob 👊.
Nature is healing
we are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO back. 🥳🥳🏎️🏎️🏎️
I LOVE this new intro and format, a huge improvement. Love this Rob🙂.
The GOAT is back! Looking forward to another season mate
Thanks Euan - it’s gonna be a great 2025 for us 👊🏼
hiya rob! just heard that LEC has a 10 place grid penalty! do you think this makes him a solid candidate for the 2x boost this week?
Yeah I definitely think so! I’d expect him to start somewhere between P11 and P15 (lower obviously better), so I think he’s got a nice little baseline of points set up there for him to capitalize on!
Great show as always. Enjoyed the content all year and and the collaboration with FanAmp crew.. See you next season. Your'e my go to pod now. 👌
Thank you Darren - really means a lot! I’ll be back with even more insights and content next season. Looking forward to having you along for the ride! 🙏🏼
Appreciate all the work again this year Rob, on my way to a back-to-back championship in my friends & family league. Enjoy the offseason!
Amazing result Brian, well done 👏🏼👏🏼 enjoy the break and hopefully catch you in 2025!
I know it is hard to give good advice before any practice session. But wich option would you currently prefer for my low budget Team 2: Option 1: NOR 2x + SAI + ALB (instead of ZHO) Option 2: LEC 2x + SAI + ZHO Option 3: NOR 2x + RUS + ZHO Option 4: PIA 2x + SAI + ZHO Option 5: LEC 2x + PIA + ALB (with a -10 for a third transfer)
Thanks so much for all your hard work creating top quality content this year Rob! My highlights this year were Jeddah (RED FER, 2x PER) and Monza (triple MCL) but to be honest, there weren’t many highlights this year. Bad weekends were Monaco (HUL, MAG and RED), Canada (2x LEC and FER) and Austria (2x NOR and MCL) This weekend, I have a 50 point league in front of a friend in my mini league who will likely run MCL FER LEC RUS. I will probably run the same but RUS out for SAI or NOR.
Appreciate it. It’s been a grind the last few races or so with so many in quick succession, but looking forward to recharging in the next couple of months and coming back in 2025 with a bang! Good luck in your mini league!
Fantastic season review, mate! Tough luck this season, but we know you'll bounce back in 2025!
@@f1fantasypoleposition thank you my friend! It’s just been one of those seasons, but I’m not too concerned that it will be this bad again 😂
Great video as always Rob. Still unwell my end, so just to say good luck for Abu Dhabi, enjoy the season break and see you next season! ✌️🤧🏁
Thank you Jay - get better soon! Enjoy the break and see you in the new year 🙏🙏
However, starting the season with the correct team build (a team with the FER + RBR constructor or at least FER + MER) and/or correcting a suboptimal team build immediately in the second race might have been even more important then DNF-luck.
I actually think, that DNFs where clearly the most pivotal differentiators. All my teams are ranked 1318, 1417 and 1187 in the global league. I applied Limitless in Miami with Team 1, in Austria with Team 2 and in China with Team 3. I also wasted my Final Fix with Team 1 & 2 in Spa. Yet all three teams are pretty close to each other and placed reasonably well. I have however dropped probably around 1000 positions with Team 1 (that was within the Top 500 once) as I was hit with several DNFs the last 5 races or so. My Team 1 was well ahead of my Team 2 despite applying limitless in Miami vs. in China.
I completely agree - DNFs (especially the A and B tier ones where you can have $0.7m and $0.5m price drops) have the most detrimental changes to not just total points but budget too. the teams with $135m+ budgets I suspect have proportionally lower total DNFs on the season. Getting some of that early season budget gain is clearly more important at the start of next season than we gave it credit for this year!
I agree. I had one horrid result in Australia where my 2x (Verstappen) DNF’d. Compared to my other teams I missed out on about 200 points, which would have put me in the top 500 everything else equal.
great review, rob! it's been a wild season! after the Spanish GP i was 38 in the world ... then it seemed i couldn't stop picking DNF drivers and so the gradual decline started with -20 after -20. if i have one wish for next year it's a change to that rule. 😡 looking forward to all your new content next year!
Being a former #38 in the world is still a sensational result Glenn - very few can say that! Fingers crossed they change the DNF penalty next season (+ other possible updates)
Thank you Rob for one more season of sharing your amazing content… sad for season ending but thrilled for 2025!
Thank you Miguel - was so great to see you in Vegas and can't wait to run it back again in 2025!!
Thanks Rob. I will see you in 2025
Of course! See you next year!
I've enjoyed watching your videos this season, looking forward to seeing new graphics!... On the subject of catching so many DNFs, I've been looking at how global #1 has done. I've counted 9 DNF/DQ through the season! 9!! That must have really helped their budget too.
Thanks mate, and same to you - looking forward to your final instalment for the season. Wow 9 DNFs is a stark contrast to my 24! Makes a huge difference for the end-of-season budgets
damn I am 164 in the world and had a staggering 14 DNFs! plus lost 100 points in Australia when I took out Verstappen and Red Bull for 2 weeks of extreme budget building (as I used limitless in China). On top a fatal 3 times in Cota plus loosing the Piastri/Leclerc lottery literally every week I have no idea what more could have gone wrong as I also had Ferrari in Canada.
sorry I mean took Verstappen and Red Bull out in Japan ofc. They of course scored a million points there!
it's been a great year, lets finish with a bang! Can't wait for 2025!
Appreciate it - bring on next season!!
Considering I have the limitless chip still available, what team would be optimal for it? Top 5 drivers or throw some finesse in (for example Russell over Hamilton or something like that)?
I would say Mclaren, Ferrari. Both their drivers and then probably any of Hamilton, Russell, and Verstappen
After seeing practice, I think it’s something like: NOR PIA LEC VER RUS MCL Then I guess a toss up between MER FER and RED. If you’re preserving a lead in a mini league, go Ferrari. If you’re chasing a deficit, go Mercedes or Red Bull
@@f1fantasyhub Ended up going with those exact drivers, MCL and FER, however after seeing the sprint I'm hoping Verstappen will have a better performance than what he showed during the sprint
For this weekend I am contemplating: 1. NOR + LEC vs. NOR + PIA (maybe even NOR + HAM) for my first team. 2. LEC + SAI vs. PIA + SAI vs. NOR + RUS for my second team with lower budget. Which combinations would you currently prefer (especially for my second team)?
After seeing practice for team 1 I think it has to be NOR PIA. Then team 2 I’m thinking NOR RUS - this is what I’ll be going with on 3x
@ So I will go NOR 3x + PIA 2x in Team 1 and NOR 3x + RUS 2x in Team 2. What do you think about additionally bringing in MER instead of the FER constructor with my second free transfer in Team 1? Do you think it might even be worth it to take a -10 to bring in MER instead of FER in my Team 2?
I just couldn’t bring myself to trust Merc - and was further pushed away from them through F1s simulations (that somehow seem to be off way to often). But just bringing in HAM instead of LEC would have been a masterstroke!
I think the f1 simulations have less and less stock for my decisions with every passing race. I just find that sometimes they’re accurate but other times way off. Can’t wait to see what they look like this week! 😅
Thanks, as always, Rob! Only got autopilot chip left. Assuming I'll have double premium setup in the final two races, is it a no-braining to use AP in Qatar?
Any time David. Autopilot is nice insurance against the 2x on a sprint weekend in case one of your premium struggles. Abu Dhabi could also be a bit mixed if it’s the last race of the season and very little at stake
Middle East Madness!
I won :)
Hahah you did mate. I’m only just getting back to RUclips now - and your video is top of my list!
I have the ideal team occurding to your power rankings! NOR LEC COL HUL TSU MCL FER :)
That is nice!! Nice budget too Yash 🙌🏼🙌🏼 could see this change by practice but Hulk is such a reliable asset
Without the Fastest Lap the average of NOR is 26 points over the last four completed races versus PIA average of 24. Considering PIA was under team orders to give up the lead twice ( I think ) suggests that NOR and PIA are about the same in points production. Maybe, PIA will be more motivated now that he can actually race for a win. I hope so. I need the point of difference.
Another great reason why I like Piastri and Leclerc as a great 3x pairing (or even NOR PIA but with PIA 3x NOR 2x)
Was Ocon attempting a fastest lap given he put on soft tires near the end of the race?
I haven’t watch the replay yet as was out there, but if he wasn’t in the top 10 at the time, wouldn’t have made a lot of sense as Hamilton had it several times
I’m in a very similar boat. Going to be switching Albon to Zhou. Though I have the budget to triple McLaren with Ferrari as my second constructor. Thoughts?
I think triple McLaren will be a solid baseline. Now Ferrari seem to be quite pessimistic about their chances in Qatar, so perhaps Mercedes are worth a shot. Need to see if they continue this performance into the desert
Well Mercedes just cried wolf ( or Wolff) too many times this year, so we can’t really blame ourselves too much. Glad you had an amazing weekend Rob!
So true Mike - I just wasn’t wholly convinced they had it but they definitely proved us wrong!!
One of my secondary teams has enough budget to run a Norris/verstappen lineup over nor/pia, good idea?
Verstappen is definitely a nice differential if you can afford it. I’d really like the idea of pairing him with Norris
My confidence in strategy is a bit ragged after Vegas given that Ferrari were supposed to cruise it and Mercedes were supposed to struggle. Now everyone's saying that McLaren will be lights out in Quatar - will they? Really? Promise? 😂 Also, I hope everyone's having a real good moan about the negative DNF points in the questionnaire. I've had 6 DNFs in the last 7 starts! I can't stop picking them!! I can only dream of the points I might have if I had better luck recently. 😆
That’s such a good point Glenn! And I also thought Mercedes would be better in Mexico in the cooler climates and they weren’t. It’s been a tricky year! And yes, I can confidently say that a lot of feedback already has been geared towards the DNFs because it’s hurt my season terribly too!
Is it Good idea to use final fix chip and change Hamilton (out) to Russel(in)?
I’d say on paper there probably aren’t too many better times to use this chip. But this track is one of the most unpredictable in the conditions so I am not confident recommending to swap out one premium driver for another
I am here in Vegas for the GP, with an awesome view of the track. Hope to see some great racing!!
Fantastic - have the best time! I’ll be there Thursday and Saturday!
What’s your current opinion on my considerations: - Do you prefer NOR + RUS, LEC + SAI or PIA + SAI (for my team with limited budget)? - Do you currently prefer ZHO over ALB? - Do you prefer HUL + BOT or ZHO + ALB? - Do you think it would be important to save a free transfer for the next race, if I plan to activate 3X there?
Hey Sim. Here’s my initial thoughts before we get to practice. 1. definitely leaning towards triple Ferrari as it stands. I’m confident they’re in for a good weekend 2. Yeah, prefer Zhou over Albon for now 3. Transfer depends on your current set up and who you want to use it on. I think with LEC SAI or PIA SAI is within two trades if you went down that route this week?
Hey Rob, great video as always. Have you thought of opening an F1 Fantasy Hub account on Bluesky? People are leaving Twitter in droves, and there's a growing F1 fantasy community there.
Thank you mate! I have thought about it. I'll consider it in more detail in the offseason and make a decision before pre-season next year. I am content at the moment, but have noticed this growing trend of people moving off X (not to mention the number of bot/fake accounts out there)
Welcome back Rob! At least you kept Zhou lol. Fair point about DOTD. Unless you have a massive budget, I still wouldn't bring VER in. Personally torn between Triple FER and LEC/PIA, unless NOR impresses in Practice. Have fun in Vegas! 🎉
It's great to be back! I am VERY TEMPTED by triple Ferrari this weekend, all I need to see is Leclerc close to the top of the FP sessions and that is enough for me to bin of Norris for a bit of variety and a 2x differential
Two Important Video Notes: 1. The news I referred to at 21:29 is an F1 Fantasy community survey on the gameplay/rules/interface, that has been rubber-stamped by F1 and will be shared with them at season's end as part of their review for F1 Fantasy. Submit your feedback/concerns with the game at this link: www.fanamp.com/f1-news/the-fantasy-formula-2024-player-survey 2. My friends and fellow F1 Fantasy creators, Tom (PotpanmanF1) and Rein (ReinFantasy) have done great jobs going through this in more detail. Tom: ruclips.net/video/ID2KfXBMdp8/видео.html Rein: ruclips.net/video/T7xIyqNyf0M/видео.html
By the way I recommend you to play the 3X in Vegas and go differential 3 times Ferrari plus good C tiers. If it works out you can win tickets for the Vegas GP next year. If you finish 18 k or 12k or whatever makes no difference at this stage! 😊
Hi. So for me the question is not Max plus 4 C tiers vs Lando/Leclerc, but wether to go straight up to a Max/Lec/Bot/Tsu/Col - MCL/FER team
I think if you can afford Max and one of PIA LEC NOR, that's a great team!
@f1fantasyhub so you see Max straight up better than Lando? wow, I am not so sure about Red Bull 😅
@@benwitthaus6133 nope didn’t say that, just said it was a great team. I think Lando has fallen away lately though, so I think it’s closer now than what it’s been in weeks prior because a lot of folks have the budget to pair max with another premium driver
Do you not think Max wrapping up the championship would merit a DOTD?
I've thought about that myself, but did some research last week on it and there hasn't been any trend the last two years (DOTD in Japan 2022 was won by Vettel and Qatar 2023 was won by Piastri). Now, perhaps, as the WDC race has been closer this season, it could happen, but I don't think its a guarantee
Oh when I heard all you content guys had a league only a few weeks ago I mentioned on Twitter how I would love to see some kind of colllab from you all about the season. I think all of "us out here" would love that and I look forward to seeing what that is. Congrats on the XM- Sirius studio for the Fan Amp show. What a weekend you guys will have. I have a feeling that Charles will win this race and I also think the team orders at MCL are already over. Maybe they hampered Oscar's mentality a bit over the last few weeks...or dare I think that perhaps Mark Webber suggested that it might be best for Oscar's future if he was in a grid position to potentially help Norris' championship. It wouldn't surprise me. MCL we pretty bad here last year, so lets see anyway.
Cheers Mike - we are all very excited and looking forward to this opportunity. It's going to be a busy week and a lot to look forward to. I definitely think Oscar has had a quiet last few races so I think he is due a good result soon. Maybe Vegas (especially because Lando's DNF there last year may haunt him), but I think Qatar could be a hunting ground for another Oscar win once the WDC is guaranteed to be out of reach - he won DOTD there in 2023 and the sprint race too!
Should I use my No cap chip this week?
No Negative? It’s a good weekend for it
@ I meant limitless 😅 but you explained it very well in your video. Thanks mate. I also wanted to ask you since it’s my first season playing, I am ranked 8k in the global league, hope that’s a good rank? Haha
I hope McLaren will come back this week over Ferrari. I truly believe Ferrari has had a good 2 weeks is cause of Piastri not being great and he’ll have the upgrades this week. Also Max stalling Lando and letting by the Ferraris has helped them. Hope with grid penalty to Max, Lando can fight clean against the Ferraris and have some help from Oscar
Great insight as always. I have Max from last race and deciding if to keep? Big differential and good in the rain. My combos are : Max / Bottas or Norris / Hulk or Sainz / KMag.. Decisions decisions..... Any thoughts? I have Le C already and hes not moving from my team. If i do keep Max then he gets the 2x.
Norris Hulk for me. Haas looked great in Mexico and Hulk has a very good record at this traci
thoughts on Auto Pilot for this race?
Love it
Great video Rob. In terms of Zhou, given the weather forecast and likelihood of DNFs, I think he's a good bet, simply because he can't finish lower than 20th and get's a few overtakes (mostly on Bottas) on the first few laps. That said, all depends on budget of course. I kept my team for Mexico (NOR (x2), SAI, COL, BOT, ZHO, MCL, FER) saving a transfer. Considering triple Ferrari (depending on Practice), which would then leave me room to sacrifice ZHO, but only up to LAW. Just a little short on HUL. Good luck for the weekend everyone.
Thanks Jay. Yeah Zhou is paining me, he kept dropping in price when there weren’t many DNFs, but as soon as we get a few he jumps up in price because of the positions gained! Maybe he’s back into my team this week
