Corvo Attano Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I don't know how many people around here are interested in Formula 1, but I would love to run a fantasy football-style competition with this year's F1 season. Basically, everyone will be assigned a set budget, and will buy 2 drivers and 1 car. Obviously, everything will not be the same price - the price of each driver & car will depend on where they finished in last year's championship, and also how things are shaping up with testing & such so far this year. Points will then be awarded to each driver & car based on their results this season. Ideally we would need 11 competitors (no judges or anything will be needed), but it could work with less. Who wants to play?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alester Florent Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'd be up for it, pending seeing more detailed rules, price-lists etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvo Attano Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Okay, so here's a more comprehensive overview of the rules then: Each person will be a team - the teams will not be the same as the real life ones, and you can call it whatever you like. The competition will follow the 2014 Formula 1 season, and will use the same points scoring system (25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 for the top 10 finishers). Each competitor will be given a budget of £40 million, with which they will buy two race drivers and 1 car. The price for each driver & car is as follows: Race DriversSebastian Vettel (Red Bull) - £30 million Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull) - £13 millionFernando Alonso (Ferrari) - £30 million Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari) - £28 millionLewis Hamilton (Mercedes) - £28 millionNico Rosberg (Mercedes) - £27 millionJenson Button (McLaren) - £25 millionKevin Magnussen (McLaren) - £16 million Romain Grosjean (Lotus) - £18 millionPastor Maldonado (Lotus) - £12 millionNico Hulkenberg (Force India) - £15 millionSergio Perez (Force India) - £14 millionAdrian Sutil (Sauber) - £12 millionEsteban Gutierrez (Sauber) - £8 millionFelipe Massa (Williams) - £14 millionValtteri Bottas (Williams) - £10 millionJean-Eric Vergne (Toro Rosso) - £8 millionDaniil Kvyat (Toro Rosso) - £7 millionJules Bianchi (Marussia) - £5 millionMax Chilton (Marussia) - £3 millionKamui Kobayashi (Caterham) - £4 millionMarcus Ericsson (Caterham) - £2 million Cars (Engine supplier in brackets)Red Bull RB10 (Renault) - £12 millionFerrari F14T (Ferrari) - £10 millionMercedes W05 (Mercedes) - £12 millionMclaren MP4-29 (Mercedes) - £9 million Lotus E22 (Renault) - £7 millionForce India VJM07 (Mercedes) - £7 million Sauber C33 (Ferrari) - £5 millionWilliams FW36 (Mercedes) - £6 millionToro Rosso STR9 (Renault) - £4 millionMarussia MR03 (Ferrari) - £2 millionCaterham CT05 (Renault) - £2 million The method of who gets to choose who will be determined by a random pick. Everybody wishing to participate should post a number between 1 and 1000, and once everybody has done that, a random number will be selected, and whoever's number is closest to that will have first pick. It will then go in descending order of how close the numbers are to the randomly chosen one. Once everyone has chosen and everything has been set up, everyone will be given a startup capita of £10 million. Any time one of your drivers wins a race you will be given £1 million, and every time one of your drivers retires out of a race you will lose £1 million (although you cannot go into negatives, if run you out of money you will not lose any more for further retirements). The main purpose of this In-season money is to facilitate trades between teams - competitors are allowed to make trades at any point during the season of drivers and/or cars (e.g. "I'll give you Perez and £5 million if you give me Grosjean" or something along those lines), although everybody must have two drivers and one car at all times, no more and no less. Any Questions/Issues? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brAnthelAstgreenseer Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Kevin Magnussen (McLaren) - £20 million- I think that is an over- valuation . He should be in Perez range . Force India should be at least 1million less than the Lotus based on last year's performance . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGendry Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'll start the numbers: 675 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact the the Force India has a Mercedes powertrain whereas the Lotus has a Renault one may be a crucial factor in the first few races.

Alester Florent Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Any Questions/Issues? :) My only suggestion would be that choosing drivers and cars be alternated in order rather than one person picking their entire team, the next person picking their entire team and so on. Otherwise if you're last in the picking order you could end up either with only options left that you can't afford, or nothing worth having, through no fault of your own (not that such an eventuality is ruled out by alternation, but it means everyone is likely to have at least something they wanted). That could be a PITA to arrange though. In any case, I'll go with #497. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
