The Autopilot Chip: Explained | F1 Fantasy Guide (2024)

Autopilot provides a simple benefit to maximize the output from the DRS Boost. Let's break down everything we know about this chip and review and example of how it works.

What is it?

Like all the other chips, Autopilot can only be played once per season. After the game calculates the final scores for the week, it will move the DRS Boost to the driver with the highest score on your team.

When is the best time to use it?

This chip works well when a team runs two or more elite drivers and it is unclear which one will score the most fantasy points. It also works well on wet weekends if you worry about your DRS Boosted driver retiring from the Grand Prix.

What does Autopilot look like in action?

The team below started the week with the DRS Boost on Lando Norris. Since George Russell posted multiple top-5 finishes heading into the week, this team deployed the Autopilot chip in case Russell outscored Norris. In a shocking turn of events, Zhou Guanyu's overtakes and Driver of the Day award earned the Chinese driver the highest score on this team so the DRS Boost moved to Zhou.
