Like my team is Norris, Yuki, Hulk, Mag and Gasly with Merc and Mcl, and 118.8 budget, but your team is much better with that Russell. Mine could be better for budget only
both my teams 1 and 2 are at $117.7M, team 1 with 2 transfers, ranked 40k+ up from 50k+ with 221 points this weekend. team 2 dropped from 7k+ to 8k+ and has 3 transfers going into this weekend.
I think I'll be running MCL MER 2x VER MAG TSU HUL SAR. Since the MCL MER meta is becoming more and more obvious, I'd be surprised if I run anything radically different to this lineup on Sunday.
I like this new set up. On the other one I felt like I was sitting on the floor looking up at you talk. I think i'd keep the team you have going into Belgium. If anything you could switch out Lando for Oscar to get a better C guy. Who knows...Oscar might go on a tear?
Thank you for the great content. I have 118.7m budget. Mcl Haa Nor Pia Hul Mag Gas. I have this crazy idea for Spa. If Verstappen takes an engine penalty I want to go to this: Rbr Haa Verx3 Norx2 Hul Zho Sar. It's 4 moves so a -20 but it could score 300+ points even if Ver goes from 20th to only 3rd.
Great content! I would love if you would share with us in a future episode what made your wealthy team so successful. Did you run different strategies to build budget or was it just luck?
Thanks for the great video as always - loving your format! Currently have Nor - Rus - Huk - Bot - Sar - Mcl - Mer and a budget of 118.8m Debating Nor-Bot vs Pia-Ric, think I may go for the second just for budget upside. In that case, Pia is the clear 2x driver over Rus, correct? Annoyed at the fact that I'm only 0.4m away from Pia - Rus - Mag - Huk - Sar - Mcl - Mer which I'd feel great about 😭
I'm at $120.7M and have 3 free transfers going into the weekend. Right now my team is NOR/RUS/GAS/HUL/SAR MCL/MER, which is ideal budget wise/points wise, just ofc got burned by GAS and the sneaky PIA win last week (wish I had final fixed lol). I could keep things where they are and wait to see if I want to switch out GAS for ALB. But I'm also playing with the 2 B Tier line up to get MAG for GAS, or honesty maybe even going all in for budget gains and going with a single A Tier line up with NOR and rocking HUL/MAG/ and whichever of TSU/RIC/ALB/OCO/GAS that looks most promising after FP3. Its my first year playing, and my gut is telling me that I wanna lean towards max budget gains, but im ranked 9797 right now and I don't know if at this stage in the season going for budget gains instead of points is something I can recover from or if its just downhill from here haha
No no no! That’s a really strong position Rachel! You are doing great. We still have 11 races to go and budget will be important down the stretch. I think MCL as a constructor is a must at this point, but outside of that there’s not a ton of bad choices. Trust yourself and I bet you end in the top 5k!
My current team is (HAM/RUS/MAG/HUL/SAR) (MCL/MER) have exactly enough budget to swap RUS > PIA, good move or will I regret not somehow getting NOR in? kinda prefer double B tier drivers for the budget upside as I'm already running MCL which won't grow in budget much and forced to run SAR which is a budget leak.
I have your team with Albon instead of Zhou, so 2 Williams drivers. I'm concerned about anything Alpine because of their reliability recently, didn't think switching Gasly for Sargeant would net me a +20 pts but I'll take it. As far as Red Bull is concerned they are not the fastest constructor right now and not even dominating the fastest pit stops anymore. I'm at $120.8 w/3 transfers so my thoughts are to get 1 Williams driver out but not sure what to do if Max takes a new power unit and takes the position penalties at Spa?

I don’t love running double bottom drivers, but having Norris and Russell provides a lot of upside!
both my teams 1 and 2 are at $117.7M, team 1 with 2 transfers, ranked 40k+ up from 50k+ with 221 points this weekend. team 2 dropped from 7k+ to 8k+ and has 3 transfers going into this weekend.
Nice! Sounds like your team 2 and my team 1 are very close to each other!
I think I'll be running MCL MER 2x VER MAG TSU HUL SAR. Since the MCL MER meta is becoming more and more obvious, I'd be surprised if I run anything radically different to this lineup on Sunday.

Thanks Mike! The Lando to Oscar switch is nice because I could get rid of Zhou or Sargeant with the second transfer.
Thank you for the great content.

Thank you for watching! I’m always going to support out of the box thinking. -20 is a lot, but the rest of your logic is sound! I say go for it!

This is a great idea for some summer break content! I’ll try and put something together.

Sounds like we are in the same boat Sameer! I like option B too and yeah, I’d give the 2x to Piastri over Russell.

Love that move. I expect MER to be fairly strong in Spa though, but MCL could be runaway #1!

I’m coming around to the Max lineup, but I don’t like Logan. Albon is excellent and I think he can finish in the points this weekend.
