F1 Fantasy League

Rules

There are 24 races and only 20 drivers - at the end of the season, you’ll have selected each driver (and scored their points) once.
Each week, you'll perform one of the following actions:

This will most likely be a late season strategy if you don't have a driver you want to use a mulligan on.

Every player will have 4 mulligans that they can use throughout the season to erase a score and reuse a driver.
Everyone will start the season with 20 points and it will cost points to use a mulligan, going up in price each time (see below).
- 1st Mulligan: -2 points
- 2nd Mulligan: -4 points
- 3rd Mulligan: -6 points
- 4th Mulligan: -8 points
You can use a mulligan for any driver previously selected in the past, but you must reuse that driver seat for the current week.

Example: It's week 10, and I want to get rid of my LeClerc 16th place finish from week 2. I use my mulligan which erases my LeClerc score from week 2 and submits him for week 10.

Example: You choose Russell for week 14 and he DNFs. Week 15 comes around and Mercedes decides to demote Russell and promote Mick Schumacher [Merc’s alternate driver] to his seat. You could mulligan your Russell DNF for Schumacher in any subsequent week because they are both in Mercedes's second seat.

Example: You can use all 4 mulligans on the same driver.... which many people are TOO familiar with from last year (damn you, George Russell).

If drivers are switched at any point in the season, your picks are limited by the constructor seats.

Example: If you have already picked Hamilton and Russell on Mercedes, and Schumacher [Merc’s alternate driver] subs into Russell's seat for a race, you cannot select Schumacher unless you use a mulligan.

Points

You earn points based on the official F1 final position on race day of the driver you selected that week.
Points will not be awarded for sprint races, fastest lap, or for any DNS/DSQ/DNF/etc results.
Your point total at the end of the season will determine your place in the standings.
Tiebreaker for any place will be the most P1 finishes selected. If that doesn't break it, we'll go to P2 and so on until the tie is broken.

Making your Pick

Picks are due one minute before the official race time (e.g. if race time is 8:00AM ET, picks are due at 7:59AM ET).
If you submit multiple times for the week, your last submission before the deadline will be accepted.
One pick reminder email will be sent to everyone on the day before race day, once the final race day positions are posted (this will usually be a Saturday).
