I feel that good price rises are insanely difficult in no overtake tracks, Imola case in point. Nailing that 2x is gonna be so important this weekend, Leclerc if he wins is sure to get DOTD and might just get that 1m rise which Norris can't anymore. Sainz looks a bit scratchy tbvh
I think for me at least (I can get double Haas, VER, TSU, MCL, FER), VER is the play solely because of his consistency which is important around Monaco. You never know what could happen if NOR qualifies below front row.
My plan is to keep LEC and some spare budget, use my 3 free transfers to get good qualifiers, then if needed use final fix to VER if LEC isn’t up there.
Also a good option (maybe even better). You get to keep the ‘B tier’ price gains from LEC even if you switch to VER. I feel like there’s more of a likelihood you’ll use Final Fix if you go LEC though (I believe in the curse). Saving it for a mishap with a premium driver later on in the season could pay off.
@@lkc_93 indeed! I’m a LEC fan so I’m hoping for the break in the curse! But am also a realist. Would prefer to save FF but this weekend may prove as the best option to use to balance out points and budget gains. Here’s hoping he crushes it 🤞
Your videos are now part of my race week routine - thanks for the great content! I'm going to stick with my VER build but secretly hope for LEC win! Have fun on the stag and congrats on 100+ vids :) P.S. love the new Driver Focus but finding the banners flashing in at the bottom a bit distracting. Maybe a fade in could work?
Thanks so much for the feedback, much appreciated! I'll work on the aesthetics of the driver focus. Is it because the banner is moving too quickly? Is that what you mean by fading? To reduce the distraction?
Hey Tom, great video, I really like the new driver focus section. The data being side-by-side really helps to evaluate the assets. One piece of constructive criticism though, the colour scheme feels a bit overwhelming. My team is LEC - TSU - RIC - MAG - HUL - RBR - FER with a 110.3M total team value and 3 free transfers. I'm trying to decide between 3 teams. The first team is VER - TSU - RIC - HUL - BOT - MCL - FER for 3/3 transfers. The second team is LEC - PIA - HUL - BOT - SAR - MCL - FER for a -10 hit. The third team is a bit spicy, LEC - TSU - RIC - HUL - ZHO - RBR - FER with space in my budget to final fix to NOR if he outqualifies LEC. Based on the video, I think you'll choose Team 1 at the moment, but how well would MCL/FER have to do in practice for Team 2/Team 3 to be viable?
Thanks for the feedback! I did wonder if there was too much colour! I'll tone it down a bit for next time 😁. I certainly like your team 1 first option. It looks very strong IMO. Ideally for the 2nd option to work, MCL and FER need to be competing for the win. MCL only viable in Imola because they genuinely looked like they could beat Max. Also depends on PER performance. If he looks good then RED seems no brainer. As we've seen, even when PER does poorly (Imola) RED still only 3 PTS behind MCL!!
@@racing1000 Oh hah, I misread that, sorry! Hmm, I like team3 more then. Not sure PIA is worth a -10 unless MCL look great in practice. Team 3 looks strong with FF options too. MCL have looked much stronger in the slower corners since the updates - I read somewhere on twitter that MCL were actually 2nd fastest team in slow corners in Miami
Loved the driver comparison segment! Had no idea Sainz was so high in overtakes. What do you think of a team with two B tier drivers like Leclerc and Piastri plus Ferrari and McLaren?
Thanks! Yeah that sounds good for budget gains. If RED look very strong though, you might drop a few points on them. But having a 2nd driver like PIA over a STR or TSU could be good if you are considering autopilot
My team from Imola is:MCL-FER-SAI-PIA-TSU-HUL-SAR. Would you reccomend running the same team in Monaco? I’m trying to decide between SAI+PIA vs NOR/LEC+STR. Exclude DOD from the equation.
DOTD is wayy too subjective and popularity based, not a fan of it having such an impact on the game. Max getting fastest lap + being the most reliable driver on the grid has to hold some weight
Thanks Tom, will you post your final selection in the community section ahead of the race?

I think Final Fix could be a decent option if you run VER and then NOR gets pole..
Yeah, good point. Easy to switch from VER down but very difficult to go the other way unless you have a chunk of spare budget

@potpanmanF1 Yes, exactly that! 👍

@@potpanmanF1 Ah whoops, I don't have such a massive budget that I can afford RED in the first team! It's actually MCL. Thanks for the insight!

Congrats on the 100 videos, will you be posting your team on the community page before the race?
I'll do my best to. Hopefully Germany are in the 21st century with WiFi etc 😂
@@potpanmanF1 😂 fingers crossed 🤞, thank you for replying

Congrats to your brother 🍾 ( PS. Americans love this phrase “stag do” 😅
Haha thanks, Michael 😂 🦌

3 free transfers. Would you do TSU, RIC, RBR to PIA, SAR, MCL? (Have BOT, HUL, SAI)
Wait and see practice sessions but my initial feeling on that is I wouldn't make that move
Do you have a league?
Yes, code is in video description
