Thanks for the video Rein, interesting thoughts on using LAW. I'm on similar budget to you. But, I don't see LAW being a big improvement on RIC or TSU, and RB haven't been quick. Grid penalty is only an advantage if it looks like RB have the long run pace to finish in top 10 in race. If they still look like Q2/3 borderline up until team lock, I'll be avoiding LAW, RB
@@ReinFantasy Yes, if LAW is starting the race 20th then that probably does make him the best tier c asset. Also thinking back to your excellent recent video on how tier C assets are best in sprint races - perhaps a shame that LAW won't be taking the engine penalty for the sprint race. I think for me the main consideration is that I can't run MCL, FER, NOR, LEC/PIA base if I get LAW in. So, wiill I still do almost as well points wise, and get nice budget gain, and not get priced out of top team? Looking forward to COTA, bring it on!
I have NOR+SAI. Would you: A) 3x - downgrade FER > MER + downgrade ZHO > BOT to upgrade SAI to HAM/LEC/PIA (only way to afford a NOR + A-tier driver) B) No Negative - shift around c-tiers depending on sprint quali and play 3x in Brazil
@@tyler1130 First option isnt bad but depends on sprint quali! You won't gain that much budget until Brazil so if you don't do that in COTA you likely have to do a similar sort of team in Brazil. Either or would work on paper before we've seen the SQ
Good stuff as always Rein! My plans are absolutely to drop Albon for Liam. My main question is LEC vs PIA. Leaning Lec as 2x and NOR as 3x. OR waiting will later.
Question. If we get negative points by making additional transfers like we make 4 instead of 2 and then use Limitless chip. Does that -20 also happen to the points in Limitless? Like for example. My team for singapore was not good. Now I want to make some changes and let's say I make 4. That would give me a -20. But I use the Limitless chip on the same team. So will I get the -20 on the points I get from Limitless chip or no?
@@Jake_Viking3 No not like that. After Limitless your team reverts back to what it was the previous weekend. So you don't take any -10 hits but you can't "plan" for your team next race with Limitless.
Hulk vs Lawson is going to be a theme in COTA.
For sure! Will heavily depend on sprint quali performance!
can't wait to run both with pinto
Thanks for the reminder we can change our team after Sprint qualifying 😂

@@dmg8530 If he is 20th after a grid drop he should at least have pace to pass the Saubers and Alpine!

No. Limitless removes any hit taken, similarly to the wildcard!
@@ReinFantasy so making a team for the future without taking a penalty is a choice. Thanks man

@@ReinFantasy Ohh thanks for clarification
