    How to unlock Thanks To The Team

    This is going to take you at least 2-3 Career seasons no matter what team you choose, so you may as well pick Mercedes (leaving Itchy Feet for last). Also, your upgrades will carry over to the following season.

    To upgrade your car, you will need Resource Points. Resource Points can be gained throughout your career with Free Practice and the Practice programs offering the most. Since you get Resource Points for just participating in a session, I highly advise to space out your individual programs over each Practice session (also while concentrating on the team objectives), meaning do 1 program per Practice session. This way you'll be getting around 80-100 Resource Points per session instead of getting around 200 for just completing all the objectives in one. By doing it this way, you can gain around 350-400 Resource Points per race weekend (Qualifying plus Race included).

    After you've gained a decent haul you're going to want to spend these points. This can only be done while you are in the Hospitality Area as you can access your Laptop. To do this press once, then press to go to Research and Development (second tab). Here you can start spending your points.

    Each tiered team gets more expensive in terms of spending Resource Points, so I would highly advise against switching teams during careers as this will make it more of a grind as your Resource Points will be wiped plus all upgrades will be reset.

    You will notice that you can cease R&D (Research and Development) during the Singapore Grand Prix by pressing on the tab. If you do, you won't be able to add any more upgrades to your car until the following season. However, you will be granted a 20% bonus on all points you earn until the end of the season.

  • I did this with Manor and, provided you keep everything on Very Easy, participate in practice and cease R&D in Season 1 (Singapore), you'll get this before the end of Season 2. If you don't do the practice programs it will definitely take 3-4 full seasons
