How do I create an F1 Fantasy league?
Open F1 Fantasy on fantasy.formula1.com or in the official F1 Fantasy app, go to Leagues and create a new league. Give it a name, make it private (invite only) or public, choose which of your teams plays in it, then share the league code or invite link.
- Sign in to F1 Fantasy and open Leagues.
- Create a league: name it and choose private or public.
- Pick which of your teams enters it.
- Send the league code or invite link to your group.
How do I join an F1 Fantasy league with a code?
Ask the league creator for the code or invite link. In Leagues, choose to join a league, enter the code, and pick which of your teams will play in it. An invite link opens the same screen with the code filled in.
Is it too late to join F1 Fantasy this season?
No. You can build a team and join leagues at any point in the season. A new team scores from the first deadline after you create it and gets nothing for the rounds before, so in an overall table you start behind; a round-by-round prize or a mini-league keeps a late start worth it.
Does F1 Fantasy cost real money?
No. The official F1 Fantasy game is free to play. You need a free F1 account, and one account can hold up to three teams.
What kinds of leagues are there?
Every team is entered automatically into the Global league, a country league and leagues for your favourite team and driver. On top of that you can create or join public leagues that anyone can enter, private leagues that need a code or invite, and head-to-head leagues where you face one opponent at a time.
How do I win a private F1 Fantasy league?
In a small league you only have to beat a handful of people, so what matters is how your team differs from theirs, not how it compares with the world. Know what your rivals own, take a different pick when you are chasing, cover their picks when you are ahead, and time your chips against theirs.
- Chasing: pick the drivers your rivals do not have.
- Leading: own what they own, so their good weekends are yours too.
- Watch when rivals play their chips and plan yours around it.
