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by sperry at 9:25 am, Jun 12 GAS has had his penalties rescinded after appeal, giving him 3rd on the podium and pushing everyone down a spot.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