F1 is officially underway for 2024 which means the return of its popular fantasy game, where participants can manage their own racing team.
It offers people the opportunity to virtually build a team of drivers and constructors to compete online by scoring points depending on how their squad performs in real life.
People can now sign up for F1 Fantasy 2024 ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix on 29 February - 2 March.
F1 Fantasy is free to play, and people can register for the game via the official F1 app or its website where both have a special section dedicated for it. However, to play, a person first needs an F1 account but that is free and very quick to sort.
To play F1 Fantasy for the season-opening Bahrain GP, a person must sign up and create their team by 4pm GMT on Friday 1 March, which is when qualifying starts as the race is on a Saturday due to the start of Ramadan.
However, it is still possible to start playing F1 Fantasy after the opening grand prix, but that would mean missing out on a weekend’s worth of points and potentially starting on the back foot.
Once a person has signed up for F1 Fantasy, it’s time to build a team. F1 Fantasy players have a budget of $100m which must go towards five drivers and two constructors.
