by Jody Scheckter at 12:11 pm, Sep 27 George Russell won his first Azerbaijan Grand Prix, holding off Max Verstappen by a couple of tenths of a second, in a race that he was dominating until two late safety car periods almost cost him the victory. Russell had out-qualified the field by close to a second, and had pulled out a ten second lead, when the race was disrupted by an Alex Albon crash. The rolling restart also resulted in a first corner carambolage, as Franco Colapinto couldn't stop his charging Alpine, and took out his teammate, Pierre Gasly, and Lando Norris, while both Alpines were running in the points. Isack Hadjar, driving his first race since Hungary two-months ago due to a broken wrist, had a strong race and finished third after Oscar Piastri overshot the first corner and had to use the run-off, falling down the field and out of the points.

RobM wins the round, and climbs four positions in the overall standings, while 3 Max V and MercedeezNuhts share second place honors.

Meanwhile the top three in the FF1 standings, Jim Clark, Suyash and Arun are unchanged, but the field has tightened up after the third low score drop was factored in.

The Saturday race gives the F1 circus an extra day to pack everything up and fly off to Malaysia for the rescheduled and relocated Bahrain Grand Prix next weekend.

Note: the season ending Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix are still in doubt with no final decision expected until mid-October. This obviously has an impact on how FF1 participants will allot their driver picks, and adds an element of uncertainty that everyone will have to account for and maybe take a gamble on whether the races will be cancelled. We'll be keeping close tabs on what's decided.

by Jody Scheckter at 9:36 am, Sep 25 I guess I'm taking a drop for this race! lol - totally got caught out by the shift from not checking my email at the wrong time.

edited by Jody Scheckter at 9:31 pm, Sep 21 Looks like Hadjar will be back for Azerbaijan. Make sure your picks take that into account.

by Jody Scheckter at 10:21 pm, Sep 19 Still no decision has been taken on Hadjar's return. He is to be assessed prior to the next race in Azerbaijan, but it might be a late decision.

by Jody Scheckter at 4:22 pm, Sep 13 Kimi Antonelli won a less than exciting Spanish Grand Prix at the new Madring circuit in Madrid, with Max Verstappen taking second and Lando Norris third. Norris had been leading and pulling slowly away up until an early Virtual Safety Car period that began just after he had passed pit entry, and that lasted only long enough for his on track rivals to pit. On a track where you'd think track position would not be something to give up willingly if given a choice, McLaren chose to pit anyway, which dropped Norris back to fifth, and with overtaking next to impossible, that was the race. This is on the track designers. One can only hope they'll find ways to improve the track for next year and beyond.

Antonelli now has eight F1 victories, all this season, which is one more than his more experienced teammate has to his name.

Alessandro Zuccarello wins the round, edging Pastor Maldonado in second, with Jody Scheckter and Prost! much further back sharing third.

While those participants each make moves up the standings, Jim Clark pulls out a bigger lead at the top, with Suyash falling back but with a big advantage on Arun who moves up two positions into third.

F1 next travels to Baku in two weeks for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, another street circuit that's produced some more interesting results in the past. We'll also be keeping tabs on the status of Isack Hadjar to ensure the driver lineup is updated promptly should he be cleared to race. Make note that standings will reflect a third low score drop after that race.

by Jody Scheckter at 5:53 pm, Sep 6 Indications are that Hadjar will not be ready for the Spanish Grand Prix next weekend.

edited by Jody Scheckter at 9:56 pm, Sep 6 Kimi Antonelli earned a famous victory at Monza, becoming the first Italian driver to win the Italian Grand Prix since 1966, and doing so after starting 19th due to penalties incurred for exceeding his annual power unit allocation.

Antonelli made the best of two standing starts -- the second after the race was red-flagged following an early shunt by Leclerc -- to quickly jump multiple cars and quickly put himself in the mix for a podium position. Using a different tire strategy than his teammate, and taking advantage of a virtual safety car to change tires, enabled him to catch and pass George Russell with only a few laps to go. Russell, who did not pit under the VSC, was disadvantaged from running almost the entire race on a set of hard tires and had to settle for second, while Max Verstappen drove a strong race and came third.

The FF1 podium was filled by players a hundred or more points off the leaders, as Ziploo wins the round, nkroeze comes second and sperry takes third, all picking up points that at least help close the gap a little.

Overall, Jim Clark moves back into first, with Suyash just two points behind in second, as Jellybeanz decides to take a drop and scores no points, dropping from first to third, thirty-two back, as a result.

The Spanish Grand Prix is up next week at a the new Madring street circuit in Madrid. Hopefully it promises more than we got at another Spanish circuit, Valencia, that thankfully is no longer on the calendar. It should also be noted that Isack Hadjar is expected to miss a third grand prix due to a broken wrist, so Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda are expected to race again.

by Jody Scheckter at 12:47 am, Sep 5 Never a dull day. The Monaco results have been updated. The FF1 podium for that race is the same, but Prost! and Alessandro Zuccarello flip positions in the overall standings as a result. All other positions are unchanged.

edited by David D at 4:10 pm, Sep 4 This is a mess lol. Hadjar has had his P3 from Monaco reinstated. Will that change be reflected in the points?

I can't ever remember the results of a GP being modified so far after the finish date.

by Jody Scheckter at 5:21 pm, Aug 23 Lando Norris was victorious at an eventful Dutch Grand Prix, but had to work to turn his pole position into a win over Mercedes drivers Kimi Antonelli and George Russell. The race was red flagged when Max Verstappen lost grip on a wet patch of road and slammed into the final corner of the first lap. It was Antonelli that benefited from the restart and jumped the McLaren, but the Mercedes wasn't good enough on the day and Norris eventually pulled out and maintained an 11 second lead until the end.

Jim Clark, Jody Scheckter, MercedeezNuhts and Prost! share the round win by picking the top six finishers, which were also six of the seven top finishers in Saturday's Sprint race.

Jellybeanz retains a sizeable lead overall, while Jim Clark swaps positions with Suyash to round out the top three.

So we say goodbye to Zandvoort once again, as the venue drops off the F1 calendar next season and beyond, and next head to Monza in two weeks time. Norris is the in-form driver, yet it will take a big effort for him to catch championship leader Antonelli, but we've seen it done before.

by Jody Scheckter at 11:57 pm, Aug 21 Sent out an email alert to everyone and suggested a pick conversion strategy should Hadjar receive picks this round:

We can convert picks for Hadjar into picks for Lawson.

If you've picked both Hadjar and Lawson, it would make sense to turn those into picks for Lawson and Tsunoda.

But if you just picked Lawson, we would leave it alone.

by Jody Scheckter at 11:35 pm, Aug 21 Only just realized Hadjar is injured, Lawson is replacing him at Red Bull, with Tsunoda replacing Lawson at Racing Bulls for the Dutch Grand Prix.

If anyone picked Hadjar we'll probably need to come up with a solution.

by sperry at 6:39 pm, Aug 21 Bahrain has been added back into the event schedule as round 16, taking place at the Sepang Circuit in Malaysia.

If you've made pics for later rounds, this *shouldn't* affect anything, but LMK if there's any weirdness since this is the first time I've added a round into the middle of a season.

edited by RobM at 7:47 am, Aug 22 *

edited by Jody Scheckter at 6:17 pm, Jul 26 Lando Norris demonstrated that his pole position was not just a flash in the pan, as he converted it into his first win of 2026 by dominating the Hungarian Grand Prix after his teammate had to abandon the race due to gearbox trouble. It had been a while since we last heard talk about Papaya Rules, but Oscar Piastri passed Norris on the second corner of the race and it wasn't long before Norris was making his case that he was the faster, as team rules supposedly favored Piastri leading him. In the end it didn't matter with Piastri falling out.

Meanwhile, Max Verstappen, ever critical of the car under him, somehow managed to wrestle it to a strong second, while season leader Kimi Antonelli in third held off the Ferraris, which were favored by many but unable to make their speed and strategy work, as both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc battled behind cars on track and never enjoyed clean air.

Suyash chose the big hitters and takes a resounding round win, but Jellybeanz also played big for second and 3 Max V earned a solid third.

Jellybeanz keeps the lead overall, but Suyash jumps two positions into second, dropping Jim Clark one more rung to third.

We now have a four week break until F1 resumes again in late August in Holland, but it has been announced that the previously cancelled Bahrain Grand Prix will now take place the week before the Singapore event, i.e. five races from now, but in Malaysia at the Sepang International Circuit. F1 hasn't raced at Sepang since 2017, but it was Hermann Tilke's first F1 track, and it will be interesting to see how the current iteration of cars will fare on a track last won at by Verstappen, four years before he won his first World Championship.

The change will also impact FF1 participants who will have to spread picks across another race. Look for sperry to make the necessary adjustments needed to include the race in the schedule over the coming weeks. With the war in Iran still a long term possibility, Qatar and Abu Dhabi remain questionable, and it is possible only one of them would be replaced (perhaps by Imola). We'll see!

by Jody Scheckter at 12:22 am, Jul 20 After a few difficult results, Kimi Antonelli found his way back to the top of the podium by winning the Belgian Grand Prix, and holding off a pesky challenge from Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque benefited from a Virtual Safety Car period to jump the Italian on track, but Antonelli gradually closed the gap and eventually passed the Ferrari driver, but was unable to pull away, which showed the pace of the Prancing Horse. Third place went to Max Verstappen, as Red Bull continues to fight for podiums, if not yet for victories.

3 Max V easily wins the round, curley takes second, and MercedeezNuhts edges three other players for third.

The FF1 overall leaders mostly took a backseat on proceedings as the second drop of the season was applied to point totals, resulting in Jellybeanz jumping to the top of the standings. Jim Clark dropped to second, adding no points to his totals, and RobM took a drop, but was able to maintain his position in the top three.

Next weekend we will be in Hungary before a month-long summer break.

by Ziploo at 9:10 am, Jul 18 hopefully RedBull figures it out this weekend

by Prost! at 11:25 pm, Jul 17 Sure is!

by nkroeze at 12:06 am, Jul 17 It's getting thin pickings soon...

by Jody Scheckter at 2:24 pm, Jul 5 Charles Leclerc won the British Grand Prix for the first time, and for his first win of the season, by beating pole-sitter Kimi Antonelli to the first corner and staying ahead of the field as racers behind him faced issues. George Russell capitalized on a late safety car to not pit and snatch second from Lewis Hamilton, who fell to third when his team opted to change tires in anticipation of a restart that never happened, as the race ended under the safety car.

curley, Jellybeanz, Jim Clark, Jody Scheckter and Suyash tie for the round win, not atypical for a Sprint Race weekend, but, as with most players this weekend, they collected few points for top hitters picks on Kimi Antonelli, who at least earned Sprint Race winner points, and Max Verstappen, who crashed out and walks away from Silverstone with only three Sprint Race points for his troubles.

In the overall standings we have a new leader, Jim Clark, who jumps RobM, now in second after five rounds in first, with Jellybeanz keeping pace in third.

The racing picks up again in two weeks at Spa, with Mercedes and Ferrari seeking to continue as the in-form teams, while McLaren and Red Bull hope to find solutions that will close the gap.

by 3 Max V at 5:00 pm, Jun 29 Saving my Max picks for Max victories!

by Jody Scheckter at 3:52 pm, Jun 28 George Russell climbed back to the top step of a podium for the first time since the inaugural race of the season, with a controlled, yet close win a lively race from pole at the Austrian Grand Prix. Max Verstappen had a strong start from fifth after crashing out in qualifying, to take second, and Kimi Antonelli had to settle for third despite a late charge that ended with the top three separated by less than two seconds.

JellyBeanz wins the round handily, 3 Max V doesn't pick Max, but still takes second, and Jody Scheckter nudges into third.

Overall, RobM pulls back to a 10 point lead over Jim Clark, while JellyBeanz moves up one position to third with the day's strong point haul.

It is just a short wait until the next race at Silverstone next weekend, where British fans will be hoping one of their own can win, but it will help if Ferrari and McLaren improved their form, as they were off the pace at the Red Bull Ring.

by Jody Scheckter at 5:02 pm, Jun 14 Lewis Hamilton finally broke through at Ferrari by choosing a three pit-stop tire strategy and benefiting from a well timed virtual safety car to minimize pit-time, to win at Barcelona and secure a famous first win with the Scuderia. The victory, coupled with second place finishes in the prior two races, suggests that Hamilton could be Kimi Antonelli's main challenger this season, which few would have predicted after a terrible first season with the Italian team.

The win breaks Antonelli's winning streak, and the final results gave hope to others as the young Mercedes driver retired from second late on with a dead engine, allowing George Russell to come second, and Lando Norris to fill out an all-British podium for the first time in 58 years. Despite scoring no points, the teenager still leads Hamilton by 41 points and his teammate Russell by 50.

Kimi Haikunen edges Alessandro Zuccarello for the FF1 round win, as 3 Max V takes third.

The three move up the overall standings, but Rob M just manages to hold on to first, with Jim Clark only a single point behind. MercedeezNuhts makes the largest leap to move in to third.

The next race is in Austria in two weeks where Hamilton will be hoping to continue his good run of form.

by Jody Scheckter at 11:23 pm, Jun 12 What a mess.

by sperry at 9:25 am, Jun 12 GAS has had his penalties rescinded after appeal, giving him 3rd on the podium and pushing everyone down a spot. Results for Monaco have been updated.

edited by Jody Scheckter at 2:19 am, Jun 13 Kimi Antonelli can't stop winning races, and at Monaco he earned his fifth straight grand prix win and he is running away with the lead in the driver standings.

We've always known that overtaking is practically impossible at Monaco, and from the very start Antonelli's day was made all the more easy when Max Verstappen, perhaps his main opposition, couldn't get his car away from the grid, after placing 2nd in qualifying. Thereafter, the Italian quickly pulled out a sizable lead over the Ferrari's. Only a red flag for track issues with 10 laps to go managed to pull the cars back together, but by then Charles Leclerc had crashed out and Lewis Hamilton couldn't challenge for the lead, having to settle for second. Isack Hadjar wrestled his troubled Red Bull to a well deserved third, only to lose it later in the week, in an appeal related to controversial pit-lane speeding infractions, that ultimately elevated Pierre Gasly to third.

Ziploo wins the round, while Pastor Maldonado and Suyash tie for second.

RobM manages to hold on to the overall lead, but Jim Clark jumps into second, and Arun drops a position to third.

We go again next weekend with the Barcelona Grand Prix, the first of two races in Spain this summer.

edited by RobM at 10:26 am, Jun 7 Monaco continues to deliver an absolute garbage F1 grand prix. What a mess.

by Jody Scheckter at 12:10 am, May 25 Kimi Antonelli is on a roll. The Italian teenager won his fourth straight grand prix by winning the race in Canada after his teammate, George Russell, was forced to abandon due to a power unit failure. The two drivers were in a heated battle for the lead at the time, with barely anything to separate them. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton had his best result as a Ferrari driver, coming second and holding off an improved Red Bull of Max Verstappen, as the Austrian team secured their first race podium of the year.

The big losers on the day were McLaren, who made the bone-headed decision to start the race on intermediate tires, and had to immediately pit due to the dry conditions. Lando Norris would eventually retire and Oscar Piastri could do no better than 11th.

The round win was shared by =^._.^=, curley, EL SLATSO, Suyash and Ziploo, but all round leaders wasted two precious McLaren picks, and while RobM and Arun maintain their top spots in the overall standings, curley jumps one position to third.

In two weeks we head to Monaco, unusually for a race that's traditionally been held in May, and where qualifying is everything.

edited by Jody Scheckter at 10:20 am, May 5 F1 returned after a long break with an earlier than planned start due to expected thunderstorms, and an opening scrap between Kimi Antonelli, Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, that was just the beginning of a chaotic race. Antonelli would go on to win the Miami Grand Prix for Mercedes, his third straight win of the season, holding off Lando Norris by just over three seconds, with Oscar Piastri completing the podium for McLaren after passing Charles Leclerc late on. Leclerc was later assessed a penalty that dropped him to 8th. Norris had already signaled McLaren's step forward by winning the Sprint ahead of Piastri and Charles Leclerc, giving McLaren a 1-2 before Sunday's main event and showing that their pace was back.

Arun, EL SLATSO, Jim Clark and RobM share the round win.

The result moves RobM into first place overall, with Arun moving up to second and David D rising to third.

by sperry at 10:53 am, Apr 7 Since F1 renumbered the rounds, I've removed the two cancelled events from our calendar (rather than leaving them in there as "cancelled").

There should not be any hidden picks for those rounds inflating counts, so let me know if anyone sees something off!

by David D at 4:38 pm, Mar 29 Konbanwa,

I'm noticing that the driver pick counts are inflated to include Bahrain and Saudi. For example, I have four picks for RUS and ANT, but obviously, there has only been 3 races so far this season.

by Jody Scheckter at 2:12 pm, Mar 29 Kimi Antonelli recovered from a terrible start, dropping from pole position to sixth, before benefiting from a perfectly timed safety car to take the lead and cruise to his second victory at Suzuka. Oscar Piastri finally started a race, and drove to an encouraging second place, while Charles Leclerc was able to hold off George Russell, who had been well placed for a win before the safety car was deployed.

Jellybeanz, Jody Scheckter and RobM earn maximum points to share the round win.

nkroeze moves into first place overall, with RobM in second and Ziploo in third.

Due to the war in the Middle East, both the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix have been cancelled, so the next race will be in May in Miami, giving all teams and drivers a welcome extended period to further develop their cars and driving tactics.

edited by Jody Scheckter at 12:03 am, Mar 16 Ah, I missed that. Looks like they have been cancelled: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/bahrai...

I guess we'll know more soon enough.

by David D at 8:30 pm, Mar 15 Note for the write-up, it's already confirmed that Bahrain and Saudi are "not happening in April". Not outright cancelled, but not happening. Perhaps they'll try to be squeezed in later in the season?

edited by Jody Scheckter at 11:58 pm, Mar 15 Kimi Antonelli earned his first ever F1 victory at the Chinese Grand Prix, taking pole and leading the entire race. George Russell made it a 1-2 for Mercedes, and also won the sprint race the day before to give Mercedes a great start to the new season.

Ferrari showed that they are the one team that can challenge Mercedes right now, and managed to fight for lead positions for a while, before Russell pulled away, with Lewis Hamilton taking a first F1 race podium for the Scuderia since joining them last year.

3 Max V and David D share the round win, as Alessandro Zuccarello takes third ahead of a mass of players who all made the same picks.

One of those, Arun, is now the overall leader, with David D in second and nkroeze dropping one position to third.

The Japanese Grand Prix is up next in two weeks. China appears to have confirmed that trouble brews at McLaren, where neither car could even start the race in Shanghai, and at Red Bull, that again only had one car finish the race. Both teams have a couple of weeks to try to find solutions, or risk losing more ground to the leaders, and will welcome having all of April to get things straightened out now that the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix have been cancelled due to the war in the region.

by Ziploo at 3:50 pm, Mar 15 I don't understand what's happening at McLaren??

by Suyash at 3:43 pm, Mar 15 Three top drivers ending with a DNS/DNF has to hurt !!!

by sperry at 11:58 pm, Mar 8 PIA crashing on the way to the grid wasn't on my bingo card. Feels like a wasted pick even winning the round.

I think all you folks that sat out round 1 might have all done yourselves a favor. I think we learned A LOT about how these new cars work during that first race.

by Jody Scheckter at 4:19 pm, Mar 8 George Russell won an eventful Australian Grand Prix as Formula One begins a new technical era. The pole sitter immediately lost a position at the first corner to Charles Leclerc, as the Ferrari had a much better start from fourth on the grid, and the two drivers entered into a heated battle, with multiple overtakes for the lead of the race, until a virtual safety car period switched up pit strategies. Ferrari chose to wait until later to pit, ceding time to Mercedes who opted for the earlier VSC pit-stop. As it turned out, the leaders all chose to make a single stop, but the less costly early tire change ended up deciding the race in Mercedes' favor.

Kimi Antonelli took second, and Leclerc edged teammate Lewis Hamilton to third.

sperry wins the first round of the FF1 season by picking the podium, nkroeze takes second, and Ziploo is third on tie-breakers.

Unsurprisingly, given all the unknowns heading into the season, more than half the players chose to sit this race out or save picks.

F1 heads immediately to China, which should garner more player commitment as it will include the first sprint race of the season with the extra points that come with that. But did we learn enough about how the Red Bulls and McLarens will do, given that Max Verstappen started from the back, Isack Hadjar's engine failed him, and Oscar Piastri did not make it to the grid in Melbourne?

by Jody Scheckter at 9:01 pm, Mar 6 Really? I have to update my iPad to iOS 26 to watch F1?!

by Suyash at 5:23 pm, Mar 5 And here we go in under 8 minutes. All the best folks!! This is one of the most exciting season opener in a while.

by sperry at 4:52 pm, Feb 28 Welcome to the 2026 Fantasy F1 Season!

Unbelievably, this is the 20th season now we've run the SECCS FF1 season... I'm sure most people participating have no idea this spawned from a local Subaru enthusiasts club back in 2006 as Subaru backed out of WRC competition and our members pivoted to watching F1 together. Surprisingly, the FF1 crew has long outlasted the Subaru crew, and for that I thank you all!

This year we've got some new regulations that include active aero, and some team resorting that includes Audi taking over the Sauber team and Cadillac joining as an 11th team on the grid! With the new Cadillac team, veterans Perez and Bottas both return to the grid, and rookie Arvid Lindblad joins the Racing Bulls team. All signs point to a difficult fantasy season unless you've been living and breathing the off-season rumors!

Good Luck to everyone!
