To add to that - it's only better if you're smart/lucky enough to manage it well, since your team value (and therefore spending power) can do down as well as up!

atleast you can ditch bad drivers and not be stuck with them
You didn't pick Heikki again did you?

Right, I've changed my surname to my username, see league table. Worth doing all?
Yeah, was just thinking that. Good idea.
Soldato
Mine is my team name
Failing that though, even if we just had a list somewhere with everyones usernames and teams?

could do. I wont be able to remember it though
You can't change your team name either (as far as i can see) but you can change your name.no one knows who will be the fastest teams come race day so its a bit gamble to not be able to change them.

With the flexible option you pick whoever you think will be quick within a £40m budget cap.
After the first race, their performance may be subpar (or even worse). Their rating dips, and so does their value.
You're forced to either hold onto drivers and pray they start performing (all the while losing even more value). Or you sell them at a depreciated price, forcing you into a position where you have less money to buy the better-performing drivers whose value has gone up.
I'm not saying the fixed-team is the better option (quite the opposite in fact), but I am saying you're going to need skill/thought and ++ luck to manage it correctly.
Hence why I'm not going for it

Okay, I'm in. My team is "Arse Racers"
It seems to me that the low-end drivers are really over-priced for the amount of points they could bring in. Hell, you LOSE five points for the guy being eliminated in Q1!
The top drivers (Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull) should cost more, and the lowest end ones should be £3 - £5M at most. IMO.

It's not really doing much harm by stating an initial lineup, though
I mean, there are only 4 strategies when it comes to picking a first-race lineup with the flexi-40 scheme:
1. 3 x 12ers
2. 2 x 12ers plus 2 x 8ers
3. 1 x 12er plus 3 x 8ers
4. 5 x 8ers.
Besides, everyone else will have their own ideas as to which drivers to pick, so there's little to be lost by showing your hand. The only downside is committing early when something may happen in the next two weeks.

The phrase "Flexi-40" gains an official Sumanji Seal of Approval.
Now coin an equally great phrase for the £45m strategy
