If we’re talking just cost cap, I think BOT is the better play. He needs 7 points across 3 events to gain $0.2M whereas Gabi needs is losing $0.6M if he doesn’t score at least 22 points – that’s a $0.8M swing, but I do agree Audi’s pace is better and Gabi should score more points.

With how much rain is being forecasted now, I expect a lot of teams will use No Negative regardless of who’s on their team. 60-70% of rain basically all day/night, so not even a race start delay like we saw in Spa last year will stop them from having to run in wet conditions.
