There’s a site you can use to compare F1 teammates from 1980ish til now. Just did Carlos and Max in 2015. It’s pretty interesting, they’re super close on speed (Max .06% per lap faster average quali pace, .01% in a race). Max got more points, but Carlos beat Max 6 to 5 in races they both finished. Very cool site, google f1 teammate comparison, forgot if we can post links here.

First time doing the fantasy league thing. The rules talk about “Dynamic Pricing” and that the value of drivers will change frequently. I haven’t seen anyone’s value change at all which seems… odd. Can anyone tell me what I’m missing?

It hasn’t started happening yet. Maybe it is in the background but it’s not displayed to the users at the moment. Maybe they have the same people making the broken graphics running the game.

Yeah, it's something I don't quite understand about F1 (versus endurance sports). Moving past the lower ranked teams who have pay drivers/etc, the top teams like Ferrari/Mercedes/RB should pretty much have their pick of the absolute best drivers in the world. The fact that there's so much of a difference between the 1 and 2 drivers is something I don't quite understand. In other elite sports, you can measure differences in fractions of a percent.

Half a second a lap, which is about how much slower Perez was to Max (and is a lot) is 0.5%. Most teammates are closer than that with the exception of pay drivers.

The Palmer feed is “international” and Brundle/Crofty is “for horse eaters only” which almost makes up for PLC being less good.

I was surprised he didn’t try to slow Chuck down on the exit of turn 1. He used to do that a lot. Go slow through a corner to compromise the exit of the car behind.

Copied from a Reddit post:

quote:

An email from F1 fantasy- “The current position with Nico Hulkenberg driving the first race of the season and Sebastian Vettel due to return shortly has introduced some additional complexity to the dynamic pricing structure, which we have been working on. We expect this to be completed later today or tomorrow, at which point driver and constructor prices will begin updating. We understand and appreciate fans' anticipation for the start of the Formula 1 season, and with it the start of dynamic pricing and sentiment bar changes. We are also very keen to receive feedback about how we can continue to improve the F1 Fantasy experience. In this particular case, we ask that you understand the knock-on impacts that unforeseen events can have.”

I suspect they took a shortcut in simply replacing Vettel's name and image with Hulk's instead of adding a new driver, and now they're reaping the consequences.

How much of performance do you guys think is the driver, and how much is the car?

I lean towards about 60% car-40% driver but I would like to know what others think.

It might be more worthwhile to assess how much potential a driver is capable of getting out of a car. Your numbers seem kind of arbitrary imo. A car can't go anywhere without a driver and vice versa.

It's dry because you're overcooking it. Don't cook it until all the liquid is gone, take it off the heat when there's still some liquid at the bottom and let it sit 5 minutes before eating so that can be absorbed.

Seems likely, thanks.
