The No Negative Chip: Explained | F1 Fantasy Guide (2025)

‍

What is it?

As a reminder, all six chips can only be played once per season. For every driver and constructor on your team, any scoring category at the end of the race weekend with negative points will be set to zero. Assets can lose points for a number of reasons:

• Not classified/no time set in Qualifying
• Disqualification from a Qualifying, Sprint, or Grand Prix
• Not classified in a Sprint or Grand Prix (DNF with less than 90% of the race distance completed)
• Positions lost in a Sprint or Grand Prix (based on starting position)
• Constructors lose 1 point if neither driver reaches Q2

Please note that the 10-point penalty per transfer after exceeding the free transfer limit is NOT removed when activating No Negative.

‍

When is the best time to use No Negative?

In 2024, this chip provided the most value on rainy weekends. The Canadian and Brazilian Grands Prix each produced five DNFs, and at Canada both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz failed to reach the checkered flag. A team running triple Ferrari (LEC, SAI, and FER) with the No Negative chip at Canada saved 80 points from negated penalties. Other challenging circuits in wet conditions include Australia, Singapore, and Spa.
