I ran a very similar lineup last week - MCL MER 2x NOR TSU GAS HUL BOT. Catching all the DNFs as usual 🙄 With 2 free transfers and a 116.3M budget, I don't have a lot of leeway to move to a 2 premium driver build. This is because I didn't roll a transfer last week because I bought GAS 😂 Probably going to transfer BOT -> MAG and roll a transfer, I'll have the best constructors, the best 2x boosted driver, and the best C-tier drivers, and it will set me up well for Spa with the top overtaking C-tier assets and 3 free transfers. But, if HAM and RUS look like they can fight for the win based off practice, I could take a -10 for MCL MER 2x HAM RUS HUL BOT SAR. That's about it, next weekend will probably be an easy decision for once 😅
i was thinking Hungarong could really suit low speed cornering with Mercedes. Thinking of taking a -10 to go Lewis, Russell, Ocon, Gasly Zhou, Merc, McLaren
I did good as a whole this race, getting the C tier drivers correct. As for now i have 126.7m and NOR/PIA/HUL/MAG/ALB with MCL/MER. Im thinking of switching PIA->RUS and ALB->OCO/GAS if Merc are still clearly better than Ferrari
@@matejakudic9891 Unbelievable team and it really goes to show how important budget building is early. Even if MCL look fast I love switching PIA to the cheaper RUS to upgrade your final "bad" C-tier in Albon to Gasly. Meanwhile I run a very similar team but have to stick Sargent in there because of budget constraints.
@@ReinFantasy want russell in, since he sp cheap now, but I like my team, and I cant get Russell yet, so maybe trying to go for that Russell, and Norris team by next weekend
I know its early, but planning is key. Hear me out. Are you considering Max in instead of Lando for BEL as he might take the engine pentalty? - If you in HUN go with Russel + Lando, you only need what, a 0,4-0,5 Budget Gain in TOTAL to get Max instead of lando with a downgrade of Gasly to Zhou/Bottas. Could be a cheeky A+B Lineup with the enginge pentalty
@@Mgreeker Haven't heard anything of planned engine penalties but for sure that is a factor as Spa is quite a common race for that. Good shout Mgreeker!
Made it to 33:30 ! Great content as always, I will say that I had been planning to get Lewis in for this race as he is a specialist here. Obviously I wish I had gone with my gut last weekend, but I’m definitely thinking he’s worth it at the moment… for this race at least. One other point : maybe it’s a bit existential, but this is a game somewhat based on feelings,but I wouldn’t mind a team without Lando this week. He’s too much in his own head lately. Hamilton Piastri for me
@@josipivancic5100 If so that is incredibly unlucky for us F1 Fantasy strategists but you kinda have to gamble on these penalties when they are given to fast cars
