GRAVEL TRAPS
ON STANDBY...
Yes the name Verstappen is returning to Formula One in
the guise of the Gravel Trap King's son 17 year old Max
Verstappen, let's hope he's better than his father, I for
one won't be picking him...
Well it’s February , Christmas is long gone (hope you all
had a good one) and onec again it is time to welcome
you to Fantasy Formula One 2015.
2015 will be a 20 race season and there has been plenty
of comings & goings and unfortunately we have lost two
F1 teams in Marussia and Caterham and yes before
certain people start mailing me (you know who you are)
they are on the official list and could make the grid for
the first race they haven't announced any driver and
won't be competitive anyway, so I have excluded them.
But as with every year there is still some important
questions that still need answering –
Will Dave Lee retain his title or will he disappear like Ady
Twigg?
Could we have our first triple champion this season?
Will all teams make it until the end of the season (let's hope
so)?
Does Pastor Maldonado regret choosing 13 as his driver
number?
Is anybody else feeling old when they see the age of these
new drivers?
Well they might not be that important but what is
important is that Fantasy Formula One is about having a
good laugh.
The entry fee is just £3 per team and you’re allowed to
put in as many teams as you like (within reason).
The scoring is the same as last year and the rules on the
next few pages for those who are new or have forgot or
alternatively you can find all the latest information on
our website –
www.fantasyformulaone.yolasite.com
The closing date for all entries and money is Monday
9th March (Monday before the first Grand Prix).
The prizes are as follows –
A bottle of wine to the winner of each grand prix.
All the money left over in the prize fund after all the other
prizes have been paid for will be divided up as follows
1st
Place - 50%
2nd
Place - 30%

7. JOKERS
. Each team will have 2 jokers to play during any race in the season, when
played your team will score double points.
. Both jokers MUST be played at two different races during the season, if a
team does not play their jokers by the end of season their jokers will be
played for them automatically.
.To play a joker you must inform Mick Brown or your local representative
no later than the Wednesday night prior to the race on the following
numbers -
Mobile 0785 130 3323
Home 0115 854 3060
or E-Mail Ilkeston-ff1@ntlworld.com
Note – If you score a negative score with a joker, the negative score will be
doubled.
MISC
Any driver being replaced for any reason apart from being banned, your
scoring will continue with your new driver.
If your driver is banned for a race you will score -100 points for that race,
the engines and chassis will score as normal with the replacement driver
If a team pulls out for any reason (as Marussia and Caterham did) and your
team has an element of that team (driver ,engine or constructor) that
element will score zero points for the rest of the season.
In the event of a tie first and second place prizes will be divided out equally
but the FF1 title will go to the team that has achieved the best position in a
race (as per F1).
There is no limit to the number of teams you are allowed to enter (within
reason)
All decisions by the FF1 committee are final
