F1 Elo — Rating Every F1 Driver Since 1950

How Fantasy Works

Fantasy F1 lets you build a portfolio of drivers and compete against other players. There are two modes: Roster (pick drivers) and Stocks (trade driver shares). Your goal is to grow your fantasy cash by making smart picks.

Roster Mode

Draft real F1 drivers onto your roster. Each driver's price equals their current Elo rating. When a driver performs well and their Elo rises, so does your portfolio value.

Starting Capital You receive fantasy cash equal to the average driver Elo × 2.2. This is your budget.

Buy Drivers Purchase drivers from the market at their Elo price. You start with 2 roster slots.

Race Weekend The transfer window closes 1 minute before race start. After the race, driver Elos update and your portfolio value changes.

Sell & Swap Sell drivers at their current Elo (minus a 1% fee). You must hold a driver for at least 1 race before selling.

Expand Your Roster

You can purchase additional teams (up to 3 total) to unlock more roster slots. Each team adds 2 driver seats and 1 swap per race. The team cost equals the average Elo of current-season drivers.

Stock Market Mode

Trade driver shares like stocks. You can go long (bet on a driver improving) or short (bet on a driver declining). Share prices are derived from Elo ratings.

Long Positions Buy shares at Elo ÷ 10. You profit when the driver's Elo rises. Long positions earn dividends after each race: 5 per share for a win, 3 for a podium, 1 for a points finish.

Short Positions Bet against a driver. You profit when their Elo drops. Shorts require collateral (locked fantasy cash) and incur a 2% per-race borrow fee. Auto-liquidated if losses reach 2× entry price.

Position Limits

You can hold up to 6 positions (longs + shorts combined). Available fantasy cash = total cash minus locked collateral from shorts.

Leaderboard

The Combined Leaderboard ranks players by average P&L percentage across both modes. If you only play one mode, your ranking is based on that mode alone.

Roster tab ranks by total portfolio value (fantasy cash + driver holdings). Stocks tab ranks by total stock portfolio value (fantasy cash + positions). The Combined tab shows both breakdowns and overall performance.
