There have been few notable changes in the F1 fantasy game this year. The primary change is with regards to scoring. The new pattern of scoring includes the following changes from the previous editions:-
– Points for positions gained or lost are now applied relative to the previous season’s finishing position rather than compared to the starting grid to better account for grid penalties
– Drivers now lose two points per position upto a maximum of 10 points for positions lost, regardless of whether the driver started in the Top 10 or not
– A DNF now loses 10 points
– Fastest lap, not classified and disqualified events are now applied to Constructors’ points totals as well as drivers’ points totals
Besides the scoring changes, driver values have been updated and the game has been changed to reflect the current line-up.
