F1 Grid IQ^™ — F1 Fantasy Predictions, Optimizer & Strategy

Odds-driven expected points for every driver and constructor: race predictions and simulations, a budget-fitted optimizer, a League Optimizer for your mini-league rivals, driver and constructor rankings, and a public accuracy record.

Simulations typically update within 30–60 minutes of FP2/FP3 (or FP1/Sprint Qualifying on sprint weekends).

Featured on Formula Hub: Our research into F1 Fantasy budget growth and points optimization was recently featured in an independent analysis by Rob at Formula Hub. Read the article →

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.

⭐ 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

ShowTransfersSortMin gain $M

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.

Favorite confidence?Favorite Confidence — Default (0.5) is market-neutral: F1 Grid IQ takes the sportsbook odds exactly as given, with no extra lean either way. This is the one dial in the whole app where your own judgment is allowed to override the raw market number — everywhere else, F1 Grid IQ trusts the odds directly.

Slide up when you think the market is underrating the favorite — a clear pace advantage, dominant car, conditions that favor them.

Slide down when you think the market is overrating them — a reliability concern, weather risk, or a challenger you rate higher than the odds suggest.

What it will not do: even at max, a driver who wins 36% of the time still loses 64% of the time — the dial adjusts degree, not certainty.0.50

Odds input format

Strip vig?Removes the bookmaker's built-in profit margin from the odds before converting them to probabilities, so the numbers reflect true chances rather than inflated ones. Leave this on unless you have a specific reason not to. Cap DNF Sprint weekend Preview as post-quali?Local preview only, admin screen only. Treats whatever you've currently typed into the odds table as if it were the post-qualifying re-entry — lets you check Final Fix behavior while filling in a new race's odds, without needing a real post-quali snapshot published yet.

⭐ 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

// 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

Sync your team and track a rival above to see a real recommendation here.

// Model Performance how well the model performs over time

// 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).

Fallback — manual paste (desktop only)

Open DevTools → Application tab → Cookies → fantasy.formula1.com, find the row named F1_FANTASY_007, and paste just that value below.
