What F1 Grid IQ Does

F1 Grid IQ is an F1 Fantasy optimizer built on real race predictions and simulations, not guesswork. It computes expected fantasy points for every driver and constructor, turns those into driver rankings and constructor rankings, and builds a personalized team strategy around your own squad, transfers and chip timing each race weekend.

// Live β · race scoring

During a race or sprint this shows live points for your team (and your league) from F1's public live feed, refreshing every 30s — dormant between sessions. Sync your team and load your league first. Needs the hosted site.

⚡ Final Fix Detected

⭐ My Team your synced squad

Link your league and sync your team above to see your squad, budget, and transfer recommendations here.
Refresh Teams now also briefly opens your league on fantasy.formula1.com in a new tab, then closes it on its own a few seconds later — that's expected, not an error, and it only works if you're logged into fantasy.formula1.com in this same browser (your popup blocker may need to allow it). If your roster still looks stale afterward, open your league's standings directly on fantasy.formula1.com (or the F1 app) yourself and leave that tab open for a few seconds, then hit Refresh Teams again here.

🔁 Transfer Recommendation your personalized recommendation

Sync a team above to see transfer recommendations here.

// Chip Advisor β · best week to burn each chip

Load the grid and enter this race's odds — then this ranks your chips by how many points each would add this week, so you know which one is worth burning.

// Odds Data

// Driver Odds

Enter FanDuel odds. Win / Pod / Top6 / Top10 are the finishing bands (each scores its own slice; Top6 optional). NC = not-classified (−10). DOTD auto = 0.8×win, OT & Pos± auto-estimated from grid vs finish — type to override. DRS (×2) auto-applies to your squad's top projected scorer; toggle 3× — Extra DRS for the once-a-season ×3 + ×2 chip. On a Sprint weekend, three extra columns appear: SprWin/SprFL (sprint-specific win/fastest-lap odds — blank falls back to the race's own Win/FL), SprGrid (real sprint-qualifying starting position, once known — blank auto-estimates it).

// Constructor Odds

Combined output of the team's two drivers (auto-matched by name, Driver of the Day excluded — that's an individual award, not a team result) + qualifying bonus (+10 both Q3, +5 one Q3, +3 both Q2, +1 one Q2, −1 neither Q2) + avg pit points. The 5 qualifying percentages auto-fill from the drivers' own odds — leave a field blank to keep using the model's number, or type a value to override just that one.

⭐ Best Budget Move

Enter this race's odds and fetch prices to see your next budget breakpoint here.

// Budget Targets β · points needed per price move + odds

Enter this race's odds and fetch prices (Prices → Fetch latest) — then this shows, for every driver, the points they need this race to hit each price band (Great / Good / Poor / Terrible) and the odds of reaching it. The same numbers as tapping a driver's xP, all in one place.

// Price Moves β · season drift & momentum

Pulls every gameday's price feed and shows each driver's and constructor's season drift and latest move. Needs the hosted site. A points→price rule appears automatically once the feeds expose enough data to fit one.

// Standings

Log in and link a league to see standings, gap-to-leader, and rival ownership here.

// Chip Performance

Load a league above to see how each manager's played chips actually performed.

// Global Rank

Sync a team (Profile → My Teams) to see your real global rank here.

// League Targets who you're chasing this week

Load a league above to see the position — and the team — right ahead of you.

// Ownership & Differentials

Load a league above to see how your squad compares to the rest of the field, and which low-owned drivers the model still likes.

// League Optimizer

// Season Review your synced team's real score, round by round

Sync a team (My Team) to see it here — captured automatically from F1's own live standings once each round finishes. Forward-only: this only fills in from the point tracking started, not retroactively.

// Historical Results actual fantasy points, round by round

Loading…

// Sync Live Results pull a round's real results straight from F1

Normally happens automatically the next time you publish (fills in the previous round). Use this to sync a specific round right now instead of waiting — e.g. right after a race finishes. Only fills a gap; never overwrites an existing row.

// Import Historical Data

Paste tab- or comma-separated rows (e.g. transcribed from a screenshot), header row first. Race Results needs: season, round, entity_type, entity_name, points_total (optional: race_name, price, source, provenance, plus category columns). price ($M that round) isn't shown anywhere yet — it's stored for a future budget-vs-points feature. Predictions needs: season, round, entity_type, entity_name, predicted_points (optional: predicted_rank, predicted_budget_change, source, provenance, captured_at). entity_type is driver or constructor. provenance (e.g. "screenshot, 2026-07-10") is required before a row can be committed.

// F1 Fantasy Session

Powers real budget/roster/rank data pulled directly from F1's own site (unofficial — expires every few days, needs a manual refresh).

The model

Each driver's Win / Podium / Top 6 / Top 10 odds are read as disjoint finishing-position bands and scored directly against the 2026 points table — race, quali, fastest lap, Driver-of-the-Day, the overtake term, manual ± and the −10 not-classified penalty?Why −10, not −20? A real DNF can cost up to −20 in F1 Fantasy's own rules, but not every non-finish costs the full amount — partial classifications and other edge cases often land somewhere short of that. Using −20 as a blanket expected-value assumption pulled predicted points down further than real results actually justified. −10 measurably improved prediction accuracy in testing — a deliberate calibration choice, not an oversight.. Sprint weekends add the 8→1 scale.

What it is — and isn't

It translates FanDuel's view into fantasy points and finds the best-value picks within it. It doesn't beat the bookmaker — your edge is where your own reads diverge from the market. Still approximate: overtakes scale by grid position, not driver aggression or weather — the next calibration pass.

Saving

Autosave writes to browser storage moments after you type, and syncs to your account so it follows you across devices — nothing to manually export or re-import.

Update prices

Refresh driver & constructor prices from the official game — without touching the odds you've entered. Prices are matched by name; any new drivers are added.

or load a file (offline)

Open a terminal in the package folder and run
python3 pull_prices.py
2
It writes prices.json next to the script.
3
Drop it in below — prices update, odds stay put.

First run can't reach the server? The script prints exactly what to check — it never overwrites your work.

Confirm your pick

Real F1 scoring needs your captain/DRS choice recorded before results land — this is the only way F1 Grid IQ can show an exact score for this round instead of an estimate. Once this round is scored, this pick locks in permanently.

Paste drivers from a spreadsheet

Copy rows from Excel / Sheets and paste below — tab or comma separated, in this column order:
Name · Team · Price · Win% · Pod% · Top6% · Top10% · Quali% · DOTD% · FL% · NC% · OT · Pos±
Leave DOTD / OT blank for auto. Header row optional (auto-detected).
