So happy to finally see someone with as low budget as me. To be honest, all the advice from the max teams isnt helping me at all. So thanks for the great advice!
Thanks for the video, excellent as always! Interesting points on ideal use of Limitless on a normal weekend. Eg Monza 2023 worked really well last year. It may well be that an ideal normal weekend is better than an average sprint wkend for Limitless (I haven't yet read the piece on it) . But I think there's a few reasons why it's not so clear cut, and a good sprint wkend is prob better: 1) On a normal weekend you have to choose your team before Quali, so you're unable to know if good drivers are out of position. Whereas the beauty of sprint this year is you choose teams after Sprint Quali, so you know Sprint Race starting positions, 2) Even though in sprint races there are fewer overtakes and positions gained than in full races, due to them being shorter, lack of tyre offset, no pitstops, however with the extra sprint race session on a sprint wkend you should get more overtakes and positions gained than on a normal weekend. 3) As you say DNFs hurt so much, and if NOR hadn't DNFd in Miami, with DRS Boost on him, that would've given around another 50-60 points, so much closer to China LL scores. Maybe more chance of DNFs at a sprint weekend tho given the extra race. So I'm unconvinced that LL is best used at a normal weekend. But if a Monza 2023 situation looks likely at some point that will prob score better for LL than Miami (but not as well as China imo). Key takeaway for me though is that it's great this year being able to wait until after Sprint Quali to choose teams and whether to use LL, can really maximise Sprint Race overtakes, positions gained.
I definitely think that with the new SQ on Friday, and the deadline being on Saturday, that scoping out a good sprint weekend will be the best use of Limitless going forward if the Sprint format stays the same. But in a "regular" sprint, the maths support going limitless in single race weekends! Thanks for the kind words ❤️
I currently sit at 112. I will pursue the harvesting part until mid season. My current team is: LEC; SAI; PER; YUKI, BOTT HAAS; FERR. I will change PER -> PIA and HASS -> AM. Thsbks for your videos.
Cool team! Definitely unique but very powerful if you get it right! I would go all out budget building up until Austria. Do you still have your wildcard available? If so then using it there or the race before could be very strong. Until then, look for the best assets below 25 and below 15M respectively! AM is a pretty safe 1 race punt before it goes back above 15, otherwise Haas are by far the best constructor below 15M currently, but be weary of upgrades to the backmarkers, with your team structure, you could definitely get ahead of the curve if any of the other teams make a big jump (Alpine, Kick, VCARB etc)
Video idea: Can you try and make a video with a budget builiding strategy (for the people with a considerable budget) with all the curent drivers cost, etc. My recomendations will be to try to make points + budget. Trust Piastri (or MCL). He will get money + points if he gets a good finish judging his last race.
I Have Perez Stroll Yuki Bottas Sargeant FER and RBR, used LL last week so have 2 transfers, however still have wildcard unused. Total budget is $108.9M any recommendations?
I’m currently at 109.6 with Per, Stroll, Sar, Bottas, Tsu, RBR & Ferrari. 1545 pts and used the limitless in China getting 358 pts. Going for the budget team in Japan didn’t work, so I think I’ll be focusing on points. I’ll be waiting for practice to determine my 2x driver, then build the rest from there.
I have Lando Stroll MAG SAR and BOT ( RBR FER) if I traded up to Max I could only afford the 4 worst on the grid do that’s not an option , so it might be wise to just trade STR and SAR for HUL and TSU. If not that then some LEC build
Great video as usual. I wish my luck was as good as yours with limitless last weekend. I did confirm McLaren as constructor and ended at 329 points. Nonetheless I am currently sitting at 113.8 Budget and Global rank 1616. So I think that's not that bad. Even with that I skeptical of going for the budget building route at this point. If my math is correct the chances of me affording 2 premium drivers isn't before last 6-7 races. This considering the continuous price increases I see for the HAAS and RB drivers. I want to avoid having teams where 3 or more of my drivers are Kick and Williams. This has been my strategy so far. I have been avoiding not having more than 2 of them at a race. So I am kind of left with 3 options now. Current Team: MAX, MAG, BOT, ZHOU, TSU, Redbull and Ferrari Option#1: Switch Zhou for Nico and save a transfer for next round (New team: MAX, MAG, BOT, NICO,TSU, Redbull and Ferrari) Option#2: Take MAX out and afford One of the Ferraries/McLAren/Checo along with Alonso. There is a version of this where I I have to take a -10 penalty and end with a team of LEC, ALO, MAG, NICO and Zhou. But May be I want to get there post Imola. Option#3: Is to basically do what you suggested and look at free practice to see if I want to let go of Redbull for McLaren and Ferrari combo and then I can do a multiple Premium Driver+ Alonso kind of combo. But here might have to use the Wild card Let me now your thoughts on them.
Thanks man! Hard one, since you are in the same position as me with 0.0 cost cap! Probably a Norris downgrade to Leclerc and an upgrade on Sargent to Hulk/Mag 👍❤️
Hello Elliot !! Cost cap : $109.3 (started playing from Australian GP) Current team: RBR + FER and VER. HUL. ZHO. BOT. SAR. Target team for Round 11 (Austria GP) - sprint race: Triple RBR + Triple HASS and TSU. (I want to use 3x chip!!) Will you please suggest me changes in my current team
For sure! Unlucky, but gotta back the decision and not the outcome. I was close to doing 2x Norris as well. Lucky in the other end that Verstappen didn't smash it. Only 40 points!
I'm still 0.7 away from being able to afford VER/FERR/RBR. Sitting on SAI/STR/TSU/HUL/BOT and debating dropping stroll to bump up SAI to a LEC or NOR and picking up Kevin (if he isn't racebanned) or maybe RIC. It's so frustrating chasing the meta build even when you have a great week (with the exception of stroll who didnt make me any budget) edit: wow we have the exact same list, I've just got a bit more budget than you lol
Thanks for the insights, got a sub from me! I am sitting on 114.1m (somehow) and I think I can cook something depending on how the Ferrari upgrades go. If I use LEC with RED - FER and something like GAS - TSU - MAG - HUL (1 change from current team) and then in Monaco, I could go LEC - SAI - SAR - BOT - HUL. It is definitely risky as it would require setting up, but if Ferrari upgrades are as good as people think they might be, it could cook hard. Do you think I should try something like this or stick go with VER - RED - FER for safe points
Hi and thank you for the great videos. I am seating on max, stroll, tsu, mag and hul with rbr, has, budget is at 107.4. Is limitless a good option for me in imola considering what your new takes are?
Lucky ducky! I had McLaren in my limitless team. 329 points. I'm obviously annoyed about the -20s from NOR and MCL. I have now copped 6 DNF -20s in the first 6 races, so it's not the best start to the season. 10.8k rank. However, on the bright side, I now have 109.5M in team value, a 2.6M increase from my underlying team, PER - TSU - RIC - MAG - HUL - RBR - FER. I'm not as enthusiastic about MAG as you, because he is driving very recklessly and nearing a race ban, with 10/12 penalties. My first thoughts are to switch PER to LEC and roll a transfer. (I bet you're jealous I can get to your dream team and still roll a transfer!) That would give me the flexibility to change my team based on the pace of FER with their upgrades and how the top 3 teams stack up against each other. The second team would assume MCL is faster than FER. I would drop MAG to ZHO and upgrade PER to NOR. I could also do RIC to GAS instead if MAG looks good. What do you think?
So happy to finally see someone with as low budget as me. To be honest, all the advice from the max teams isnt helping me at all. So thanks for the great advice!
Welcome to the squad! Those who had Magnussen from the start don't know how we feel 🙄
Thanks for the video, excellent as always!

How about a cheeky budget building strategy video on sunday? Had something similar planned already 😏
I Have Perez Stroll Yuki Bottas Sargeant FER and RBR, used LL last week so have 2 transfers, however still have wildcard unused. Total budget is $108.9M any recommendations?
Probably a similar transfer as me? Stroll down to a Mag/Hul, so you can upgrade SAR because Williams look proper useless atm
I’m currently at 109.6 with Per, Stroll, Sar, Bottas, Tsu, RBR & Ferrari. 1545 pts and used the limitless in China getting 358 pts.

Honestly love that switch! Tsunoda is the goat 🐐

Let me now your thoughts on them.
Love your videos man! Your channel is a blessing.
My Team: Norris, Yuki, Albon, Zhou, Sargent, 106M budget (0M cost cap)
Recommendations?
Thanks man!
Hard one, since you are in the same position as me with 0.0 cost cap! Probably a Norris downgrade to Leclerc and an upgrade on Sargent to Hulk/Mag 👍❤️
Hello Elliot !!
Cost cap : $109.3 (started playing from Australian GP)
Current team: RBR + FER and VER. HUL. ZHO.
BOT. SAR.
Target team for Round 11 (Austria GP) - sprint race: Triple RBR + Triple HASS and TSU. (I want to use 3x chip!!)
Will you please suggest me changes in my current team
I had that limitless team with mclaren and 2x Norris, it was the best choice just unlucky
For sure! Unlucky, but gotta back the decision and not the outcome. I was close to doing 2x Norris as well. Lucky in the other end that Verstappen didn't smash it. Only 40 points!
Any recommendation for MAC, FER, Max, Daniel, Bottas, Gasly, and Magnussen?! The total budget is $109.3 M
I'm still 0.7 away from being able to afford VER/FERR/RBR. Sitting on SAI/STR/TSU/HUL/BOT and debating dropping stroll to bump up SAI to a LEC or NOR and picking up Kevin (if he isn't racebanned) or maybe RIC. It's so frustrating chasing the meta build even when you have a great week (with the exception of stroll who didnt make me any budget)

Hi and thank you for the great videos. I am seating on max, stroll, tsu, mag and hul with rbr, has, budget is at 107.4. Is limitless a good option for me in imola considering what your new takes are?
Lucky ducky! I had McLaren in my limitless team. 329 points. I'm obviously annoyed about the -20s from NOR and MCL. I have now copped 6 DNF -20s in the first 6 races, so it's not the best start to the season. 10.8k rank.
However, on the bright side, I now have 109.5M in team value, a 2.6M increase from my underlying team, PER - TSU - RIC - MAG - HUL - RBR - FER. I'm not as enthusiastic about MAG as you, because he is driving very recklessly and nearing a race ban, with 10/12 penalties. My first thoughts are to switch PER to LEC and roll a transfer.

The second team would assume MCL is faster than FER. I would drop MAG to ZHO and upgrade PER to NOR. I could also do RIC to GAS instead if MAG looks good. What do you think?
I'd go with Lando. Then you have skin in the game with the top three teams. Plus you have to factor in momentum.
