The Limitless Chip: Explained | F1 Fantasy Guide (2024)

Of the six chips in F1 Fantasy, Limitless has been the subject of many questions across X/Twitter and Reddit. Let's break down everything we know about Limitless with an example so you can maximize its potential this season.

What is it?

As with the other chips, Limitless can only be played once per season. This chip unlocks after a team has completed one race weekend. It provides two advantages for a single race weekend:

  1. You can make unlimited transfers for free.
  2. Your team has no cost cap and can run any lineup.

When is the best time to use it?

There are a few chances for players to maximize the value of Limitless. One is to use it on a Sprint weekend since there are three events in which this "super team" can earn points. The other is if several top drivers take grid penalties for new engine parts at the same race. These drivers are more likely to shoot up the field and score points for overtakes and positions gained. A great example is the 2022 Belgian Grand Prix, where eight drivers took engine penalties.

An example of the Limitless chip

For the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix, I used Limitless on my test team, a tool that I use to understand the rules of the game rather than to score the most points.

Here is the team I started with from the previous race (Canada):

Test team before Limitless

After selecting the chip (remember, selecting a chip is final and cannot be undone), I made five substitutions to form my new lineup: Verstappen, Perez, Hamilton, Russell, Alonso, Red Bull, and Mercedes. This lineup normally costs $152.7M even though my cost cap is $101.8 - what a deal!

The team collected a solid result at the end of the weekend:

Which lineup is impacted by value changes?

Perhaps the biggest question about the Limitless chip pertains to value changes. On Sunday night after the final scores were tallied, my team reverted back to what it was after Canada and values changes applied to those assets. I attempted to make changes to this lineup before applying Limitless but since this chips reverts our lineup back to the previous races, those transfers did not take effect.
