F1 DFS Simulation Tool: Optimal Lineups for DraftKings

Welcome to the Formula 1 DFS Optimal Lineups Tool.

We can now use our F1 DFS projections to simulate the outcome of Formula 1 DFS events. Below, you will find a tool that estimates how often a Driver or Constructor might appear in the winning lineups. Side by side, you can find an estimate of DFS ownership% for comparison purposes. The goal is to provide a simple metric to aid in your decision making.

This tool also features the results of a contest simulation executed under preset conditions. Using our simulation trials, we calculated the results of a simulated contest comparing 20,000 lineups against a simulated field of opponents. The resulting output provides you the ability to review the top lineups from that simulation for each driver. There are multiple metrics available to sort and filter your results. You can also scroll to the bottom of each tab to download the lineups.

Note: You can always find the most up-to-date F1 DFS projections in our F1 DFS optimizer, LineupHQ.

F1 DFS Opto% Tool – How It Works

— We use our F1 projections to run trials of a simulated “slate” by determining the results of each trial race.

— From there, each player receives FPTS based on their stats in the trial.

— We set realistic conditions including speed, track specifics, tires, race odds, pit effectiveness, DNF potential, and more.

— The data gets sent to an optimizer, and 20,000 lineups are generated.

— Each lineup is graded against a sample field of lineups in a contest simulation.

— The results of contest simulation are tabulated, with the “grade” being representative of higher expected ROIs (based on the SIM).

— The best lineups for each driver are presented for your interpretation, analysis, and hand selection.

Below, you’ll find the results for this week’s action.
