F1 Predictions on Drivers: Pick More or Less on Driver Stats

The first way you can earn money with your F1 predictions is with Player Picks, PrizePicks’ real money fantasy sports game.

Simply pick 2-6 drivers — or combine picks with players from other sports, predict whether each stat will go More or Less than the projection, and cash in when you’re right. The more picks you add, the bigger your potential payout.

Here are the F1 Player Picks markets that you can make picks on:

  • F1 Points — Will a driver score more or fewer points than projected?
  • F1 Stage Points — More or Less on points earned during race segments
  • Starting Position — More or Less on where a driver qualifies on the grid (pre-qualifying)
  • Overtake Points — More or Less on points earned through on-track passes
  • 1st Pit Stop Time — More or Less on a driver's pit first stop time
  • Finishing Position — More or Less on the position a driver ends up at the checkered flag

Combine your favorite picks for every race by choosing More or Less and cash in if your predictions hit.

PrizePicks’ F1 Player Picks game is available and legal in 36 states plus Washington D.C. See all states here.

Tips for Making Smarter F1 Predictions

  • Qualifying position is everything — At tracks like Suzuka, the starting grid nearly mirrors the finishing order. Starting position and finishing position picks live and die by qualifying results, so track results from qualifying closely.
  • Get expert F1 race predictions — You’re not alone when making your F1 predictions. Even if you’re tracking qualifying, get a feel free expert predictions and picks to see what drivers are leading the conversation. Find our weekly F1 predictions here.
  • Track type changes the math — Street circuits produce more chaos and DNFs; purpose-built tracks tend to reward pace. Know the track and adjust your risk accordingly.
  • Watch for reliability — A driver with a fast car means nothing if they're DNF-prone. Check recent race history before locking in a winner or podium pick.
