F1 Fantasy Game

 Hi everyone!

 

I am playing this great F1 game for about 4 years now, and like all fanatic players I am always in search for my best scoring team.

This has been a very strange and special F1 season, due to COVID-19. Earlier some players suffered badly when Perez was struck by Corana. This time Lewis was hit and Russell became a Merc driver.

This gave all players the same change within the rules of the game; putting together a team with Russell as a Williams driver together with 2 merc elements. But I guess it took some  ‘out of the box’ thinking witch only occurred to a dozen players. The other players didn’t, or thought about it too late. So I don’t regard this as cheating. I just had a crazy thought and it was allowed within the game.

Of course, before the start of practice 1, I thought that maybe it wouldn’t be allowed and would have excepted it if that would be the case. For example; F1FG could have send/show me a message that my team was illegal, or not ready for playing. In that case I could have easily switch to Perez instead of Russell. But that didn’t happen because it was regarded as a legal action within the rules of the game.

So I got rewarded for my ‘out of the’ box thinking and am happy. Sorry for the frustration by all the players who didn’t see it.       

 

Maybe F1FG will do some changes in the 2021 game. But I think the game should stay as it is regarding this matter. Because within the game you can never anticipate to everything in real F1 life. What if, in 2021 you have a team with 2 merc elements and Russell as a Williams driver. For example Lewis gets an injury in practice 1 and Russell takes over in the Merc on Saturday. If the rules are changed, your team would be declared illegal scoring no points? That wouldn’t be acceptable I think…..

 

Cheers and stay positive!
