Cost cap for first season

Hi all -

I tried to avoid the sub, because i didnt want to be influenced by “perfect” strategies, tips, etc to get a full realistic experience.

However, i am caught in a dilemma.. i am at the austrian grand prix and i only have 44% cost cap left. I will only do 1 big research atleast for next season and will pause any development.

Any other way I can limit by cost cap spending?

Thanks for all the advice!
