GTPlanet Fantasy Formula One 2025

[Jimlaad43]

Well that's another race with a good set of points there and although Hadjar would have scored more points than Bearman I'm still happy to have not knee-jerked a swap after Australia.

 

[GTR_Bryan]

Driver change for Bahrain. Sorry Lewis but you're killing me.

As of Bahrain it will be Hamilton OUT and Russell IN.

My new lineup will be

Driver 1 - Russell (4)
Driver 2 - Antonelli (2)
Chassis - Red Bull (4)
Engine - RBPT (3)

 

[Famine]

Ah crap, I forgot it was another race weekend this weekend.

RACE FOUR ENTRY/SWAP DEADLINE - 1500 UTC, Saturday April 12
FIRST TOKEN UPDATE EFFECTIVE - 1100 UTC, Wednesday May 7

Also forgot to do the results from Japan because I was - ironically - busy doing this:

F1 25 Brings Overhauled "My Team 2.0" and Driver Career Changes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDzAUYH6I7A Codemasters and EA have revealed more details about F1 25 in the lead up to its launch this May, with a look into the changes to the game's career mode and what the developer says is the most significant update to My Team since its introduction in F1 2

I'll sort them out in the morning.

I think that I got all the team swaps sorted out, but if you think there's an error please do shout in my general direction. Edit: Found one!

RACE SIX ENTRY/SWAP DEADLINE - 1900 UTC, Saturday May 3
FIRST TOKEN UPDATE EFFECTIVE - 1100 UTC, Wednesday May 7

 

[lilcat89]

I would like to switch in Albon for Tsunoda as my Driver 1.

 

[Famine]

Apropos of that, don't forget that the Token changes are coming up this Wednesday, now that we're six races in.

If you want to get rid of a component that you think will go down in value, now is the time to do so. However, if you want to hold onto one that you think will gain in value in order to take advantage of the additional Token it will earn your team, and then swap it (or use it to leverage another swap) then you should wait until after the Token change at 1100UTC on Wednesday. As usual I won't make any changes to my own team until after the Token change because obviously I know what's coming and insider trading is bad. Not that I can win anyway.

Current standings pending any other spurious appeals:

[gdmnd]

I'd like to fire Gasly and hire Antonelli.
New lineup:
DRIVER 1 - Tsunoda (3)
DRIVER 2 - Antonelli (2)
CHASSIS - McLaren (5)
ENGINE - RBPT (3)

 

[half_sourly]

DRIVER 1 - Norris (5)
DRIVER 2 - Antonelli (2)
ENGINE - RBPT (3)
CHASSIS - Aston Martin (3)

Could I please swap ENGINE from RBPT (3) to Mercedes (5) and CHASSIS from Aston Martin (3) to Williams (1).

 

[ApexShark]

DRIVER 1 - Alonso > Bearman
DRIVER 2 - Antonelli
ENGINE - RBPT
CHASSIS - Mercedes

I would like to fire Alonso and replace him with Bearman.

 

[hamishl]

I would like to replace Lawson with Piastri, so new lineup is:

DRIVER 1 - Hamilton (4)
Driver 2 - Piastri (5)
ENGINE - RBPT (3)
CHASSIS - Williams (1)

 

[GTracer38]

I'd like to swap Russell out and Antonelli in.

DRIVER 1: Antonelli (2)
DRIVER 2: Hadjar (1)
CHASSIS: McLaren (5)
ENGINE: RBPT (3)

Total = 11 (+2 left over)

 

[Touring Mars]

I'd like to swap Red Bull chassis to Mercedes please

 

[noshog]

Is it too late to make changes ?
I dont want to turn my back on Lawson but have to find a way to recover some points...

Driver 1- Hadjar (1)
Driver 2- Unchanged - Antonelli (2)
Chassis- McLaren (5)
Engine- Mercedes (5)

 

[Famine]

Is it too late to make changes ?

You've got 12 more hours before the token update, so changes you make now are still at the original token values, and then ten days after that for any changes you want to make before Imola qualifying.


No-one using the Joker yet either

 

[noshog]

Thanks @Famine
Wasn't sure what UTC is in NZT

So I have 1 driver change still available ... But I can still use the Joker to change my full lineup again ?

 

[Famine]

Wasn't sure what UTC is in NZT

UTC is universal time, a standard rather than a zone and from which all zones derive their time. It's just about identical to the GMT time zone, except it's not a zone

Current New Zealand time should be UTC+12.

So I have 1 driver change still available ... But I can still use the Joker to change my full lineup again ?

Yes, the Joker is an additional feature this year which swaps your entire lineup for a wholly new one at any time - both drivers, chassis, and engine must be entirely new selections (so no swapping Driver 1 to Driver 2 or vice versa!).

 

[Famine]

New Token Values!

TOKEN VALUES	Drivers	Chassis	Engines
6		McLaren	Mercedes
5	Norris, Piastri, Verstappen, Russell	Mercedes
4	Leclerc, Hamilton, Albon, Ocon	Ferrari, Haas	Ferrari
3	Alonso, Sainz, Tsunoda, Antonelli	Red Bull, Racing Bulls	RBPT
2	Lawson, Stroll, Bearman, Hadjar	Williams, Aston Martin
1	Hulkenberg, Gasly, Doohan*, Bortoleto	Alpine, Sauber	Renault

And current team Tokens available (including spares carried over):

Team Values	Player
17	@noshog, @Famine
16	@ApexShark, @bliprunner, @cossack4725, @DG_Silva, @-Fred-, @Fezzik, @GlamFM, @GTracer38, @half_sourly, @Jimlaad43, @lilcat89, @PaMu1337, @ROAD_DOGG33J, @Spacegoat
15	@gdmnd, @Sureboss, @Touring Mars
14	@DK, @GTR_Bryan, @hamishl, @Jordan
13	-

 

[Jimlaad43]

Ooh, with these new values I'd like to swap Russell for Piastri please.

 

[ApexShark]

@Famine
Am I still allowed to make changes this round?

If so, I think I’ve reversed corse on my previous decision of Alonso to Bearman.
I’ve instead, decided to change Alonso to Leclerc. I would also like to change my engine choice from RBPT to Ferrari.

Hopefully this change is still within the allotted time.

I was unsure of the token value changes

So, if allowed, my new line up will be
DRIVER 1: Alonso (3) > Leclerc (4)
DRIVER 2: Antonelli (3)
CHASSIS: Mercedes (5)
ENGINE: RBPT (3) > Ferrari (4)

 

[Famine]

Am I still allowed to make changes this round?

You can make changes whenever you want. Making them any time up to an hour before qualifying makes them eligible for the next race - which in this case is 10 days away!

If so, I think I’ve reversed corse on my previous decision of Alonso to Bearman.

DRIVER 1: Alonso (3) > Leclerc (4)

The change to Bearman has already been made, so cannot be reversed.

 

[ApexShark]

The change to Bearman has already been made, so cannot be reversed.

Ok! That’s fair.

So my line up will be
DRIVER 1: Alonso (3) > Bearman (2)
DRIVER 2: Antonelli (3)
CHASSIS: Mercedes (5)
ENGINE: RBPT (3) > Ferrari (4)

 

[Famine]

Ok! That’s fair.

So my line up will be
DRIVER 1: Alonso (3) > Bearman (2)
DRIVER 2: Antonelli (3)
CHASSIS: Mercedes (5)
ENGINE: RBPT (3) > Ferrari (4)

I'll not make that... yet because you made the Bearman switch before the Token update when he was still worth one token, and it looks like you've misunderstood something.

Your original squad was:

CHASSIS: Mercedes (4)
ENGINE: RBPT (3)
Driver 1: Alonso (4)
Driver 2: Antonelli (2)

Totalling 13 Tokens (4+3+4+2). Your pre-Token update, post-swap squad was:

CHASSIS: Mercedes (4)
ENGINE: RBPT (3)
Driver 1: Bearman (1)
Driver 2: Antonelli (2)

Now with three spare Tokens to make up the total of 13 (4+3+1+2[+3]).

Which surprised me, but I thought you were guessing Alonso would lose value (and he did) while Bearman would gain (and he did), to give you a bump in available Tokens.

After the Token update, your squad is:

CHASSIS: Mercedes (5)
ENGINE: RBPT (3)
Driver 1: Bearman (2)
Driver 2: Antonelli (3)

And you still have your three spare Tokens, so your squad is worth 16 Tokens in total (5+3+2+3[+3]).

That means you still have three Tokens to spend if you want. If you still want to make the RBPT to Ferrari swap, that's fine, but I just wanted to make sure you understood what's going on.

 

[GTracer38]

Coolio, so with the amended points, I'll swap Hadjar out and Leclerc in.

DRIVER 1: Antonelli (3)
DRIVER 2: Leclerc (4)
CHASSIS: McLaren (6)
ENGINE: RBPT (3)

Total = 16
