My team looks a bit rubbish, mostly due to a lack of cash gen early on compared to a lot here. Lesson learned for if I play again next year.
Verstappen C, Bottas, Gasly, Russell
Red Bull x 2, Mercedes, Alpha Tauri
Dropped the McLaren this round, so of course Lando has his best qualifying ever. Glad to get some points for Russell, I would be surprised if he finishes that high, but I couldn't afford anyone decent (I was 100K short of keeping Tsunoda, so it had to be someone cheaper).

Finished up making the following trades:
Out: Red Bull, Alpha Tauri, Alonso
In: Mercedes x 2, Bottas
(Yes, I had a heap of cash in the bank!)
Looks like 281 from qualifying. Happy with that.
Fantastic effort by Norris to qualify second. Will be interesting to see if he can stay up there during the race.

I've prepared some driver and teams break evens going into round 10.
Drivers: Kimi 9, Schumacher 16, Russell 16, Bottas 17, Sainz 20, Norris 21, Mazepin 22, Tsunoda 22, Latifi 31, Alonso 39, Stroll 41, Dan Ric 47, Max 51, Leclerc 73, Gasly 74, Vettel 87, Hamilton 99, Perez 101
Teams: Williams 15, Haas 15, Alfa 32, Ferrari 38, Alpine 48, McLaren 55, Mercedes 66, Alpha 70, Red Bull 102, Aston 104
Ferrari will be a popular trade in this round, now about $1M cheaper than they were two rounds ago. McLaren have also scored over 55 points in 7 out of 9 races this season, so are likely to increase in value. If short on funds, Red Bull are very close to their maximum value at $34M. Unless Perez starts running 2nd consistently, it's difficult to see Red Bull going much past $35M. Following two low scoring rounds, Alpha Tauri has started losing money.
Very good value in the drivers this round with Bottas, Sainz and Norris all with sub 25 BE's. Raikkonen provides an option for those with Stroll/Tsundoa looking to keep a cheap driver with a low BE. Gasly and Vettel need to be traded out this round to avoid a likely price drop. Perez has only achieved 101 points in a round once this season.
Hamilton???
This seemed pretty easy a couple of rounds ago. Wait until his price had bottomed out (following Monaco/Baku) and then keep him as a second driver for the rest of the season. Then he throws in a 72.
He is averaging 100 for the last three rounds (which is now his BE) and if he can't finish in front of Max it's unlikely he will add much value before he drops that 72 heading into the Belgium round. So do you keep him for the points or do you trade him to Bottas/Norris/Sainz for the $?
Trades
I'm likely using another 3 trades this round. It's usually easier to chase the $ in the first half of the season and keep your team more stable in the second half. (Also, we are given two trades a round and I suspect a round or two may drop off the calendar later.)
Out: Red Bull, Stroll, Tsunoda
In: Ferrari or McLaren, Norris, Sainz
