We hope you have enjoyed our blog posts thus far, here and here, which talk about our F1 Fantasy analytics tool. We're stoked that the 'dream team' as published by the F1 Fantasy administrators (screen cap from https://fantasy.formula1.com shown immediately below) indeed agrees with the optimal team as calculated by our tool.

Not sure yet what we'll build next. Maybe some analytics having to do with telemetry. Maybe some fantasy tools for Formula E. Maybe some A2RL-related code. If you have any ideas, please comment.

In the meantime, please subscribe/follow our socials, which are linked here. Thx!

Have you ever wondered how your team would've performed over past chunks of the season? This blog post is to announce the release of a free tool - https://datadr1ven.github.io/teamtool - for evaluating your F1 Fantasy team against the past performance of optimal teams. Here is a screenshot of the tool. The tool is meant to be as intuitive as possible. You start by (optionally) choosing a chunk of the season to take into consideration, after which the tool calculates the team that would have been best to have over that set of races. Then you specify a team (and adjust it as much as you want) to see how your team performed relative to optimal.  That's it! The tool is intentionally simple. We plan to build additional tooling soon. In case you're interested in more of the technical detai...

History is (usually) a poor predictor of the future

Our last blog post announced a tool for calculating the best F1 fantasy team to have held for a adjustable window of 2024 races. With a tool like that in hand, it naturally follows to ask - should I use the output of that tool to pick my team? And so in this post we dig into the numbers - what would have happened if you had used the output of that tool in order to pick your team? To explore this, we wrote a simple script that goes through all window sizes (of 1, 2, ..., up to 22,.since we're through 23 races in the 2024 season), and considers how the (optimal) team as calculated by our evaluator would've scored the next week. The results are plotted in the heat map below. The brighter the green, the better the score relative to optimal. Pretty interesting plot! And just to be super clear about what we're looking at - the...
