Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Welcome back to the third episode after a long break. You know, where we just kind of felt like taking on exactly what F1 is currently taking on. Podcast episode of Into the Chicane. As usual, I'm Tashia, and with me I have Alicia. Hi everyone. Happy to be back. And today we actually have a special guest with us. We have Devin. And Devin, I'll hand it over to you to introduce yourself a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 0:28

Sure. Uh yeah, I'm Devin. For F1, I think I've been watching for almost 10 years now. I got into it back in university. Figured that it would be fun to watch. I like cars, so I figured why not start with the pinnacle of motorsport. So I yeah, started a while ago. And then I really liked Danny Ricardo when he was racing. So he was kind of the reason that I was able to stick with it. But yeah, unfortunate that he's no longer driving. But I did for teams, I did kind of follow him around. So I liked Red Bull. And then when he went to Renault, I liked him there. And then when he went to McLaren, I was really excited. But unfortunately, that didn't work out. So my allegiance has sort of stuck with McLaren, which has been nice the past couple years. But yeah, I'm just excited to uh to be on the show.

SPEAKER_00 1:18

Amazing. Good for you getting in early with McLaren. Yeah. We're uh we're excited to have you. And uh, you know, just maybe don't pay attention to some of the things we've said about McLaren on the podcast on here. Yeah. Alicia might be a little hard on them. Yeah. However, we are Danny Rig fans, so yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:37

There you go.

SPEAKER_00 1:38

We have that. So you can stay, is all is what we're saying. You're you're Alicia, do you want to maybe tell us a little bit about some of the new regs we've seen come up this week prior to my ear? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So, I mean, as we all know, it's been a bit slow going in terms of F1 news. We haven't had any races, we haven't had a lot going on. However, there has been some movement on the regulation front. And I think as of 24 hours ago or so, we have some updates to the new regulations that were introduced at the top of the year. Uh, and actually, uh, a lot of driver feedback and team feedback was considered in coming up with these amendments, which is great to hear. So let's go through those right now. Um, and I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts on them. So a few of the changes not only have to do with like better driver experience and smoother races, but there were also some safety considerations, which I thought was really interesting and proactive before we get too far into the season. So, some of the highlights we have some changes to reduce superclipping. So, previously there would be a cutout of the power like abruptly to save energy for the next lap. And so this would create a lot of like speed discrepancy between cars. So that has been adjusted to avoid that like big discrepancy. So you're not losing so much power at the end of your straight. Additionally, for qualifying, cars won't have to recharge as much in between laps. So again, just like a smoother racing experience is what I gather the idea was when making these changes. And then some of the safety changes. So there were some concerns, it seems, with closing speeds. So we were having cars that were just like rocketing past each other um at like really different speeds. And so now there's only um, I think a maximum boost of 150 kilowatts. I think previously this was up to like three to three fifty, so big difference there. Um, and then the most interesting change I thought was uh reset on the formation lap battery. Interestingly, uh, it seems that depending on where you were on the grid, what position you qualified in, um, that kind of depended on how much of your battery was used up on the formation lap. And so for some drivers, you were already trying to recharge before you really got going in the race, which was definitely a bit of a disadvantage. So I think it's quite interesting that that's already been identified and remedied. But would love to hear what you guys think on some of these changes. Did they get it right? And and how do you think this is gonna play out in the races to come? Yeah, I think I think it's interesting and we'll see kind of how these play out in Miami. I think with the qualifying, if I'm not mistaken, I I wonder if this is something to do with like, I know in one of Lewis Hamilton's like press conferences or something like that, he had talked a bit about how like he knows Mercedes has this like like kind of boost thing that they use at the end of the of the quality to get them to the front or something like that. And so I wonder if some of this is like from things they've heard from drivers of some of, you know, maybe there's something going on there that the FI is looking into. But I, you know, I I hope it makes it a little bit safer. I was thinking about Suzuka and Ollie Behrman and that crash, right? That's scary to see, and we don't want to see crashes like that happening that, you know, are kind of avoidable if we have better regulations and drivers not going at two crazy different speeds and not knowing when the driver in front of them is breaking and stuff like that. So yeah, I'm I'm curious to see how this plays out in Miami next weekend. Hopefully, again, making things a little bit safer is the goal.

SPEAKER_01 5:26

Yeah, because I think the biggest thing was just the difference in speeds that they needed to address, right? And then having people pass each other back and forth for laps and lapses. And it it's exciting to watch, but it's probably not very fun for the drivers to have to defend as soon as they've overtaken someone. So I think it's good that they're listening to the drivers and the teams and they're actually trying to fix on some of these regulations that they've changed.

SPEAKER_00 5:57

Yeah, I completely agree. I think ultimately you have to be open to that driver feedback. We have four more years or like three, almost four more years at this point of these regulations. So we know that it takes a little bit of time to get these things right. So maybe the break offered a bit of an opportunity to like really sit and think and reflect about the three races we've had so far. So that's really good to see. Um and I agree that you know, we've come so far when it comes to safety. We don't want to start going back the other way because obviously that's really horrible for the sport and everyone involved. So I'm glad to see that that is a consideration, as well as driver experience and um fan experience too, because you're right, like seeing drivers constantly pass each other. It's fun in the moment, and then when the race finishes, you're left thinking, like, hmm, what really happened? Like, we weren't we weren't really making any moves there. We were just kind of passing the buck to each other. Yeah, absolutely. Maybe, maybe now when races, my Apple Watch will stop telling me to like take a moment to breathe, or like my heart rate's getting a little too high. Some of those get a little dicey when when it looks like the two Ferraris are about to crash into each other. So maybe, maybe now that might happen a little bit less. We'll see. Yeah, that's the last thing we need. Absolutely. So today we have Devin and on the Into the Chicane team, we like to refer to Devin as our F1 fantasy guru. So we wanted to bring Devin on today and explain F1 fantasy because honestly, Devin, like I don't get it. And I think Alicia's kind of in the same boat here. We're we're we're a little lost. And so I think the listeners out there might be a little lost too. And and hoping you can share some insight and help us understand F1 fantasy a little better. And hopefully I can make my F1 fantasy team perform a little better with your help and knowledge.

SPEAKER_01 7:48

So yeah, in fantasy, you get five drivers and two constructors. You start the year with a $100 million budget, and then each asset we'll call them is assigned a value. Um, and you basically create a team up to your $100 million budget, and then they score points every race weekend based on things like where they finish, where they qualify, how many overtakes, how many places they've gained or lost, um, and then after that, they will increase or decrease in value based on how well they do relative to their value. So that's where we've talked a lot about points per million. So if you have someone like Fairman, who is not worth very much, he's on the lower end of the value spectrum, but he's been scoring, you know, 20, 30 points per race. So he's his points per million value is very high. And if you have someone like Verstappen, who is I think he's the most expensive driver, and the Red Bull is not a very good car this year, so he hasn't been scoring. I don't think he's been outscoring Barman even this year, for fantasy at least. So his points per million is not very good, so he hasn't been climbing in value very much this year. But other than that, you get two transfers per race. If you don't use one of them, that one carries over to the next race for a maximum of three, which can be useful later on in the season. And then there are also six chips, they call them, that you can apply to your team any race weekend. You get to each each you get to use each of them once, and you can only use one at a time. So there is the limitless chip, which as the name implies, you get an unlimited budget. You can pick any five drivers and two constructors, and then there's the I think it's called the extra boosh, and that lets you put a three times multiplier on any driver, which is very useful for some higher scoring races because that will get you a lot of extra points. There's the wild card, which gives you an unlimited number of transfers that week. So if you run out of transfers and you need to make a lot of changes, then you can use your wildcard and that'll let you do that for free. There's the autopilot, which picks your two times driver for you based on how well they do. So if you have a driver that you had your two times on and he crashes, then it'll automatically be put onto someone else, which is very helpful. There's the no negative chip, which eliminates any negative scores that your driver may have. So that could be places lost or even a DNF. And then the last chip is the final fixed chip. This one's a little bit different from the other ones because you can't use it until after qualifying. So normally your team locks before qualifying. Um so the final fixed chip lets you make one transfer between qualifying and the race. So if you have a driver who didn't qualify as well as you were hoping, or if they completely crashed out and might not even race, then the final fixed chip is really useful for that because you can bring someone in who might actually score you some points.

SPEAKER_00 10:56

Interesting. I've like, I honestly like I've seen the chips there, and I'm like, those probably do something, but I have not looked into it. So that's those are actually really helpful. And I feel like I could maybe start doing something with those.

SPEAKER_01 11:10

Yeah, that's good to use them. It's um good to know when to use them. Generally, the the points booster chips, you want to use them for something like a sprint race because there's more points in hand. And then the other ones like no negative or autopilot are good for wet races because they're so unpredictable.

SPEAKER_00 11:28

Yeah, wow, that makes a lot of sense. I think sometimes when I'm like going into my team and trying to do my weekly maintenance, you don't really know kind of what you're looking for in terms of, oh, now it's a good time to use this chip or that chip. Can you maybe comment a little more on uh maybe what are some useful scenarios where it might be good to use some of the chips? Maybe like we don't have to touch on all of them, but curious as to like if you want to call out any chips in particular, any ones that you think are like more useful than others or like underrated.

SPEAKER_01 12:02

Yeah, so for maybe I'll just I'll give my team as an example. In Australia, I used my autopilot because we weren't sure if Mercedes or Ferrari were ahead. So I think I had Antonelli and I want to say LeClaire. So I used my autopilot because I wasn't sure who was actually gonna score more because it was so early in the season. And then for China, I used my limitless because after Australia, we kind of had a good sense of where the top teams were. We knew that Mercedes and Ferrari were gonna do the best. So that takes up your four drivers and then two constructors. So I just had to pick a fifth driver that I thought would do well. And the other thing about limitless is for your budget building, is it doesn't you don't build your budget based on the drivers that you chose for your limitless. Your budget will build based on your previous team. So it would have been my team that I had in Australia. So I was fairly confident that my Australia team was also going to go up in value. So I felt comfortable using my limitless in China because I knew that they would my budget would still build. And then for uh for Japan, I used my wildcard because I had built enough budget from the first two races to switch my strategy into getting better uh assets. So I've already used three of my chips, three races in. Um it's honestly the first time I've done that. I've never actually been that aggressive before, but it just, I don't know, it just felt right this year. But yeah, the other ones I'll probably save for, you know, a wet race or an unpredictable race. Um, I think Miami gets a lot of rain, Canada gets a lot of rain. And being yeah, with a wet race, it's you never know because your top driver could crash, or some of your other guy drivers could crash. So yeah, I'll probably save those for one of those races.

SPEAKER_00 13:55

No, that's super that's super helpful and just like tips that I think are are great to think of, like with the like wet races and unpredictable races, like Brazil, for example, right? Like I feel like that one can get really unpredictable. So maybe a good time to save that one for. But but yeah, really, really helpful and great to to know, to be able to think about in the back of our minds, like while we're leading up to race weekend and looking at weather reports because we I like, you know, we normally kind of like think about them, you're like, oh yeah, it'll be a wet race, but now it's like ah, I have a strategy for a wet race.

SPEAKER_01 14:28

Yeah. Yeah, it's good to know as much as you can before you lock your team in, and that it's not just practice that you want to look at, right?

SPEAKER_00 14:37

Yeah, absolutely. Why should why, in your opinion, should F1 fans get into fantasy? And and how do you think it helps newer fans understand the sport better?

SPEAKER_01 14:49

Well, for me, so I started I don't think fantasy was a thing when I started. It was yeah, it's only been around for a few years. But my first year, I'll be honest, I also made my team and then forgot about it. But that was because I was the only one. I didn't have any friends, I wasn't in a league with anyone, so I didn't have any reason to really look at my team. I wasn't playing for anything. But then one of my friends, he wanted to get into F1 too, so he started a league, added some of his friends, and I had some of my friends who I thought would be interested. And we yeah, we did that season and it was a lot of fun, and it got me more into F1. It's very helpful to watch a sport and have something to cheer for, right? So if you're new to F1 and you don't know which team to cheer for, which driver to cheer for, if you join Fantasy, then you have a team right there that you that you can cheer for. Um it really gets people into it, and then it really pushes you to watch the race and you really care about it because you're watching your driver and you're worried if they crash or if they're in a battle with someone, and it's it's a lot more fun to watch.

SPEAKER_00 15:54

That's yeah, skin in the game. Yeah, a little better than some skin in the game. That's uh that's a really good way to think about it. I like, you know, of course, like you have your fantasy like team, but I was having a conversation with with one of my colleagues today, actually. And you know, we were talking about how different, you know, F1 is versus like hockey or or basketball or football or whatever, because you're you're cheering for you know the team versus an F1. Like, yeah, a lot of times you'll have allegiance to like like Mercedes or the Ferrari that's still down there, Alicia. Hopefully it comes up soon. Um for for you know the team, but a lot of the times you're just cheering for individual drivers, right? You're like, yeah, I like this driver, or yeah, I like that driver. This way it's like you're almost, yeah, you you're cheering for a team. And it's it's just a different mindset shift for for newer fans in F1.

SPEAKER_01 16:46

Yeah. And I think in in North America, I know motorsports aren't nearly as popular as they are in in Europe. So, you know, everyone has a favorite hockey team or football team where we are. So getting into F1 is I would say is a little harder for people to do. There's less people around you that want to watch it. So when you're doing it by yourself, it's not nearly as fun, right? So I think fantasy is a good way to get into it with other people.

SPEAKER_00 17:11

I think ultimately what attracts people towards sports is also community. I feel like that's the best thing about sports is finding people that care with you that you can like send memes to, you know, commiserate with, rejoice with. And I think any opportunity to find a little bit of community in sports is exciting and it keeps you engaged. So I love that that's what fantasy did for you. And I think it's gonna make me approach how I watch the races in a fun way because it's gonna feel a lot more weighty, which is absolutely yeah. All right. Devin, what are your secret kind of like like sneaky tips when building a team, but also kind of in the maintenance of the team? Like, what are things that we should be doing?

SPEAKER_01 18:00

I think there's I talked about before the the points per million things, seeing how much value a driver actually has. Just because they're expensive, it doesn't mean they're gonna do well. So you want to look at how many points they're actually scoring versus their value. You don't want to front load your team with a bunch of expensive assets and then the rest of your assets are not even scoring points. But you don't want to have too much of a balance between everything where you have a bunch of average drivers who are scoring average points. You want to find the people and the constructors that are doing outscoring their value, basically, while keeping it within your budget. Something else is watching the their value rise and fall. You want to focus a lot on building your budget earlier on in the year because every million dollars that you increase your budget is gonna get you more points in the end of the season. So you can sacrifice a little bit of points at the beginning of the season to start building your budget, but then later on you can you'll be making teams that other people won't be able to. Last year I didn't focus enough on my budget. In my I have a with my fantasy league with my friends. Um and I think there was someone who was lower in the standings, and his budget was five or ten million higher than mine by the last few races. And so he I was in first at the at the time, and he was slowly started catching up to me because he could afford much better drivers. Thankfully, I had built enough of a lead in the middle of the season where he didn't catch me, but it was it was pretty stressful coming down to the last few races, seeing him climb the standings like that. So budget building is huge in fantasy. I did write an article on how the budget building works, might might be a little too complicated to just put into words, but basically the the F F1 looks at their last three races and their points per million over their last three races, and they do an average. And then if their points per million is above a certain threshold, then they'll rise in price. If not, they'll go down. So if I can give Behrman as an example, his first two races were really good. His points per million was the highest out of the entire field. So by the time you get to the third race in Suzuka, it didn't really matter what happened to him because he had built up his points per million by so much already that so he crashed and he scored negative points, but he still went up in value because of those first two races. So now for Miami, it's a little bit different for him because his last two or is when you look at his last two races now, I don't I think he's got an average of just over zero points. So for his third race in Miami in this window, he's gonna have to actually score some points to go up in value. So yeah, stuff like that is to really don't just look at their last race, don't just look at their practice session. You want to look at their last two races and see what they'll need to score in their third in this upcoming race to actually go up in value.

SPEAKER_00 21:12

Yeah. All right. That that's some good advice. I feel like I did not really have a good grasp on the budget part of fantasy. So that makes a lot of sense. I think that's gonna help us climb up those rankings, Tosh. We're ready. Fingers crossed. We're not we're not doing so great right now, but we're we're gonna get there. Lots of races to recover.

SPEAKER_01 21:31

You're just building your budget right now, right? You you don't care what points are you have.

SPEAKER_00 21:35

Exactly. We're we're doing it, we're doing it right. Devin just told us. And that and that was an excellent plug for everyone to go and take a look at Devin's article on on the Into the Chicane website. Yeah, maybe we can link that in our show notes, even. Yeah, absolutely. So check that out and I'm sure it's a lot more in depth. But Devin, a question I did have about the budget. So if I'm understanding this correctly, at the end of the season, like your tech like yes, you start with a like the hundred million budget, but like at the end of the season, like you're gonna have players or your drivers worth more than that, right? Like as their value increases, it doesn't change like your what you're able like drivers you're able to like take on, right?

SPEAKER_01 22:20

So when if their value goes up, then your budget also goes up by that much. So like Bearman went up 0.6 million. So whoever had Behrman on their team, their budget also went up by 0.6 million.

SPEAKER_00 22:33

Yeah. So ultimately you want to get to a place where you have more than 100 mil to play with. But if you maybe go the other way, you might have less than 100 mil because your players are depreciate or your your drivers are depreciating in value.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

Exactly. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 22:48

Essentially.

SPEAKER_01 22:49

So I think last year people were up to 130 or 140 million by the end of the year. Wow. I think another forty million dollars in your bank that's you could add another constructor, a better constructor, a better driver.

SPEAKER_00 23:10

Yeah, that's actually game changing. All right, people. Don't focus on points, focus on your budget in these next couple races. It's still early. We we still have time. Uh yes. Yeah, we do. We still have a lot left. Um I would be interested to know what your approach is or what your advice is for week-to-week maintenance. I think some things that maybe deter people from fantasy, honestly, across all sports, is what is the maintenance. So can you touch a little bit on what type of things uh you should be considering when you go in every week, reset your lineups and think about whether you want to make any changes, make any transfers. Um, we touched on the chips already, so we don't have to go into that, but yeah, just more so what's that like bare minimum level of maintenance that you want to look at?

SPEAKER_01 24:01

Yeah, I think the n the thing with F1 fantasy, it's a lot different from sort of the typical sports fantasy you think of like hockey or football, where you know what hockey you're playing every other day. So some of your transfers you might be looking at your team every day to make sure that you're scoring points. But with F1, it's a little different where your team is only scoring points once a week. So it's harder to stay into it because you technically only need to look at your team once a week. So it's yeah, it's harder to stay focused on it because it's easy to forget. Sometimes races are three weeks or five weeks apart. So yeah, getting getting into it is certainly difficult. Um, but things that you want to look at are how, like we talked about before, see how the drivers, your drivers have been doing in the past couple races. And if you have someone who didn't score well, you might want to look at someone who has been scoring well, and then, like we said, build your budget. Um, other things, there are a little something harder to incorporate are how the drivers are around a certain track. I personally don't know any of that off the top of my head, um, but there are lots of lots of analysis online about you know the style of track that's coming up and how different teams or different drivers are able to drive around that track. There are some teams that focus more on down force and cornering speed, and there's other teams that focus more on straight line speed. So for a track like Monaco, you might want to lean towards teams that have high down force. Or if you're at a track like Monza, you want to look at teams that are really fast in a straight line. So doing a bit of if you really want to get into it, you can do a little bit of research on the track and which teams will would excel in that track.

SPEAKER_00 25:47

All right. So I think it might be time for us to get into our fun part of this episode, where we would love if you could rate our F1 teams and we're ready to accept the good, the bad, the ugly. Yeah. Feel free to Tosh, who wants to go first? That's totally fine. Dealer's choice. Devin can pick whoever's uh he wants to take a look at, but Alicia and I have put our our our big kid pants on and and we're ready to take the criticism. Yeah, we're ready.

SPEAKER_01 26:18

Let's let's go to Tasha first. That's two years.

SPEAKER_00 26:21

If you're ready, let's do it. All right, so Tosh's fantasy team, starting with the drivers, we have Lewis Hamilton, then we have Arvid Lynnblad, Lynnblad, we have Pierre Gasly, Ollie Berman, and Nico Halkenberg. And of note, the two times multiplier has been applied to Lewis Hamilton most recently, and her two constructors are Mercedes and Audi.

SPEAKER_01 26:44

Interesting. Okay. Um so I know for a lot of the teams, you should be able to afford two good top drivers and one top constructor. So what I'm hearing is you have Hamilton and Mercedes. So you only have you're missing one. I don't know if that's budget. Uh well, I'm assuming you've used most of your budget.

SPEAKER_00 27:08

Well, of note, actually, you have 8.8 mil left over currently. So yeah, that's something that we should definitely on like race one and then just like didn't touch this again. I was like, yeah, this will be fine.

SPEAKER_01 27:21

Yeah, so with that eight million, I would definitely look into trying to pick up a better driver. Could you sorry, could you list them again?

SPEAKER_00 27:30

You'd Hamilton, Lindblad, Hamilton, Linblad, Gasly, Behrman, Hulkenberg.

SPEAKER_01 27:36

And then Mercedes and Mercedes and Audi. Okay. So yeah, with that 8 million, you could like Gasly, I don't think he's been doing super well. He's had some okay results. Um, but if you were to switch out Gasly, I guess with that 8 million, that's still not enough to do much. Sorry, I'm trying to think here what we could do. I I think all I can really say is they try and use up your budget. We can look at drivers who've been doing well and maybe use that budget to pick up a driver who you think will go up in value. Lawson and Ocon should be going up next race if you want to pick one of them up. Um, I don't think that won't use much more of your budget, I don't think, but they would be helpful. And then for your team or your constructors, I guess we could use a bit of your budget there because Audi is pretty cheap. So we have room to get a better constructor like Haas has been doing really well. The D carbs have been doing really well. So those are two constructors that I would definitely look into.

SPEAKER_00 28:33

On it. Use your budget is the takeaway. Use it or lose it, just like the public sector. All right. I'm gonna pull up my team now. Okay, so I mean, good news is that I'm using more of my budget, so we're at least doing well on that. But my driver lineup is Russell, Behrman, Hajar, Bordoletto, and Linblad. And for constructors, I also have Mercedes and I have Haas.

SPEAKER_01 28:58

So I like hearing Haas. That's good. They've been climbing every race, so that's good. Um, I think Linblad's been doing okay as well. Behrman is really good. I think I've I wrote, well, I wrote one article on Behrman and how he's probably the best driver to have right now in fantasy for budget building. Like I said before a while ago, it was a little tougher now with his result in Japan, but I think you can still manage. And then yeah, it's so good you have a top driver to put your your multiplier on. And then yeah, Mercedes is good because they're obviously doing really well. One thing about Mercedes versus Ferraris, Ferrari is quite a bit cheaper than Mercedes. They're six million dollars cheaper. So that is if you're really looking for some more budget, something to look into. But if you're happy with your overall team, then definitely stick with Mercedes because they've been the top team. Ferrari is not too far behind, but yeah, just thinking about that extra six million. I guess this would be for for both of you, because you both had Mercedes. But yeah, that that six million could be very useful. And the other thing about both your teams is if you did were thinking about doing some changes, think about maybe your wildcard, if you already know that you're gonna be making a bunch of changes. Because any of your changes above your transfer limit, they cost you 10 points. So you have to think if uh the extra change that you're making, is it gonna score you an extra 10 points? If not, you either I don't do it or use your wild card and um just get your team set up for the rest of the year when you do that. If neither of you have made any changes, I'm assuming you both have three transfers for next race anyway, which would be helpful.

Yeah. I think I did make some changes post-Australia. Um, and then I ended up burning 10 points in that shuffle. But, you know, we live and we learn. It was the first race, so I think that's okay. Exactly. But yeah, we do have probably both of us some transfers to play with. Yeah. So we could do some shuffling. I think I definitely do. Yeah. Like literally, I'm up on my phone right now. I'm like looking at my like Tim, like, okay, who can I like studying? I just need the season to restart so that we can smoke everyone. Exactly. Yeah. Maybe not Devon, but it was great for us, Alicia, because now we're gonna come back. Yeah. Because I think you and I are both like right in the middle of the pack, but now now we're gonna come back. Yeah, we're ready. We're ready to just climb up those ranks.

SPEAKER_01 31:24

Yeah, and use time to figure it out too. You have lots of time to think about it and get your team ready.

SPEAKER_00 31:30

Sweet.

SPEAKER_01 31:31

Why is it same? Those, yeah, those are some really good questions and honestly got me thinking a little bit too, which is nice because I don't normally talk about fantasy like this. So it's fun to to share.
