Yeah 1 hard in fp3 with like a 30 lap run plan and put drivers on conserve is just easy farming track acclimatisation
Lmao I’d actually rate going Aston
thats how much he has fucked me this season
Or Haas/Williams
isn't that what Azor is trying to do but he can't get anyone 🥲
go aston and get alonso vettel wdc and wcc
I hope they tweak driver xp
Seems whack that academy drivers take so long to be better than even Latifi
100% on all with 20 minutes left in fp3
Maybe I go Haas and can finally fulfil the rockstar dream
Kinda annoying you can’t skip to end I just leave it on x16 and go for a quick stretch lol
I just had the worst race ever in spa and I have an unskippable cutscene of my team celebrating?
are they taking the PISS

@gritty wyvern https://puu.sh/JiIxX/7d5b0c22d1.jpg
start of season it says
red bull engine sick deal
Yeah I want red bull engine for my second season
The vote to increase number of power train parts also passed so durability is less of a concern
erhm
I might be fucked here
I am down a chassis
the chassis wont be done until saturday
I guess I can just cancel that manufacture and do an instant one
i had 3 votes 1 to lower budget cap to 132 which passed, 1 to add double points to last race which failed and 1 to make engine cooling harder
bro what
alonso p2 for brazil
Chadlonso

Double points last race should be illegal to even think about
Spun out?

Only way he can beat him 

Jesus
lmao
love a quali where it starts raining 5 min in
and the dumbass AI doesnt do immediate dry laps
easiest Q2 of my life

yeah its not 100% yet
I love having gp as the engineer
every overtake
simply lovely
nice
p5 in monza
zhou p4 somehow kekw
pitted early under safety car
long hard stint
now thats pog
goal for season is 8th
literally 2 points away from 7th
lets keep it up
oh my god
ocon is a fucking steal
Can you tell im using giovinazzi to hold everyone up in quali?

It fucking worked

2 things i think would be nice qol time goes to 1x when a car goes into the pitlane in practice
and when the reconfig is done
I wonder if im messing up putting it into the calc
but im getting way more errors is season 2

I’ve not had one yet
man
shits intense when every point matters
Not terribly far off making my long term objective on first season
wanted to rp as Ferrari but u can only do up to strategy E
wtf this just got passed
also new updates
What the fuck LMFAOOO
lmao
did that actually get passed?

looks like ur gonna have to make a whole different car for final race lmao
literally just do the longest term upgrades in the universe to land for abu dhabi
and get 87 points in one race

so seems to me that research does very little for the current year
but gigaslaps next year
which makes sense
engine choice difficult tbh
whats better, high or low fuel efficiency xd https://puu.sh/JiRdS/95fd122cc3.jpg
like you can interpret it both ways
I went renault
power is irrelevant if it starts dropping at 85% durability
that's like
2 sessions lul
renault is also giga cheap
however
I fucked up majorly, so learn from my mistake: I had so little money starting the new season that I totally wasted my first ATR period, and could do no development pre-season
I was 3 mill minus, needed 2 mill or so to design
that was REALLY bad
Why do I feel that threshold bar is deceiving
its pretty straightforward
at 75% durability you start losing power with renault. versus 85% for red bull. and renault also wears slower
and you gain 10mill which is huge since its hard to even reach the budget gap with aston at least
5mill in this case ig
As in the bar being larger with lower engine wear before power loss just doesn’t read right to me
Just looks jarring
Almost like it should just be the number and not the bar
wear resistance = higher means more resistant to wear = slower wear
power loss threshold = obvious
Power loss is what I meant sorry
btw I replaced stroll with bottas
The bar being there just doesn’t look right to me
I can read it find but just looks weird to me
now I have a solid, old driver pairing for 2023, while I bring up vesti
let 2023 begin
ye
p9, 1 point behind p8 goal.. but whatever
its all about 2023
#nextyear
I already have grid's best low speed
lacking in the straight line department, thats what I wanted to work on preseason
think ill run vesti in FP1 every race instead of vettel, since vettel can easily get max setup
bottas bit slower as he needs race engineer affinity to build
why not ferrari

sending the boys out on intermediates in FP3 to get my last track acclimatisation without using dries i need for quali
Q3 team problems
I got the board very happy with me 
not p6 yet tho
why is kevin spinning and crashin g every race

FIRST PODIUM BOYS
p3 bottas p7 vettel
in miami 2023
p4 constructors now
from p18 on the grid or so
hes wicked fast but he doesnt make hero starts like vettel
low aggression vs high i guess
also
that podium was from fucking
p16
no safety car shenanigans
raw pace
I mean good pit timing by me but basically it was all him
madman
man
saving engine/ERS/gearbox for race
is such an obvious move
with huge yields
do it everyone
he did it
bruh
and I have a rear wing upgrade inc to fix my car's main weakness
p4 and p8 in monaco quali
hard strategy almost as fast as soft
lets pray for safety car and get a 1-2 ez
Jesus Azor is flying
How much research did you do the previous season for each part
I didnt understand it properly but I did a fuckton of underfloor and front wing research since they seemed to give best downforce yields per CFD hour
and everything was changing for next season anyway
p6 and p8 in monaco but I got fastest lap at least..
comfortable p3 in constructors now
solidifying
happens to kevin every fucking race when he is in for the pts 
yea i made a misstake
i didnt think of using old pu during fp

new front wing is pretty pog
Remember to use old engine and gearbox stuff for practice
Far fewer penalties in the long run and far higher average race performance
yeaaa
i didnt even think of that

i mean my cars arent that bad
@tight sinew magnus crashed again

time to cut him bro
think he alone has made me spent 10m on spare parts
need to pay him out first tho 
I'll finish this season after that I'll think about a replacement
You sacked mick for less
in the long term its all about developing young drivers because they're basically fuckin free
currently, having vettel and bottas, is fucking me a bit economically
like im staying afloat but there are many things I wish I could do more easily
like facility development..
i should ye
damn the calculator is getting good
baku preset was 100% confidence instantly lul
literally just sitting out fp3
Oh damn
one thing to keep in mind
make sure they dont go sub-20% midpractice, cuz that makes them unusable entirely
and they take like 40 billion minutes to replace during practice 
damn that aston in ur hands is shredding
Nope
pretty sure its bugged or doesnt work properly
pretty sure tyre temps on affect degredation too
Yeah don't see any reason to not FULL send tyres tbh
I tend to get more crashes/spins at 3 dots than 5
Man its so nice to see aston that high
Their logo and brand colour is so sexy
Just sucks theyre ran by donkeys

lawrence stroll has blood on his hands
btw game has been super stable for me unlike the regular F1 games
just rock solid
settings good, looks good
chaotic austria
two red flags
one involving one of my cars but no damage
can win this..
ASTON MARTIN WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS IN AUSTRIAAAAAAAAAA
WAIT WHAT
EXCUSE ME
okay friends
I am VERY confused rn
I won right
except somehow I got 2nd place and lewis lapped everyone?
WHY DID IT COUNT AN EXTRA LAP FOR LEWIS
HOW CAN HE BE THIS BLESSED
I JUST GOT FUCKING ROBBED
what a bug
he managed 72 laps in a 71-lap race
incredible
he's just above and beyond
I'm pissed
I won
this matters for constructors too

oh god
they passed the new scoring system like dabbi
must've been a hell of a hammer time
still pissed about that
a bug in a video game
imagine how lewis felt after abu dhabi
im 3rd in constructors, winning races, getting podiums
but my car performance is on average like.. sub-10th
lol wtf
I guess my strategy is just that good. 

Don't expect the AI to be good in the first iteration.
AI hates double stacking the pitlane which makes wet weather changes very lucrative for points
Idk
First wet race half did half didnt
But tbh most of the time they don't double stack the first car comes in before the crossover for me and the second just after
Yeah taht's because the AI doesn't know how to manage a gap for safety car/weather changes for a same-lap pitstop
the blunder happens for me when they pit for inters when wets are 3 laps later
not the double stack
Yeah inters are pretty useless
unless it stops raining
There's a lot of sim elements that are badly balanced
also Monaco Track temp was 50C and Air temp was 20C
wtf
You can also INT everyones laps at monaco
but going full conserve and no ers
since they cant overtake you in quali
and you wont get a penalty
btw im making a sheet y'all might find useful
which just enumerates the strong parameters on each track
so you know what's actually best to target development wise over a season
Do we know if race fixtures change at all in following seasons
e.g. start with bahrain etc etc if that stays the same?
Kinda already have this in the game under circuits tab 😄
limabeans you are so fucking ignorant sometimes, never change
but this can be helpful to see what tracks merit the most of car development so you can focus in covering less weaknesses
Not the best formatting but at the bottom you can see the parameters with the most "points" over the season, where 1 is recommended and 2 is crucial
Basically cornering stats are far, far, far outweighing anything top speed/accel related
and if you had let me finish, we were actually on the same page with the end idea that we could see what we should maintain the most in development and what would be ignored due to least-to-gain
And that reflects in my performance since I went all in on downforce in my research and design and am somehow 3rd in constructors even though my stats are indicating I should be 5th-7th
I presume the '2' is higher of the stats and not the 2nd best stat?
Just found a google docs with each teams Staff and drivers and their respective salarys etc etc
Dunno if I would use this one though as this kinda feels cheaty
Like I wrote, 1 indicates the stat is recommended for the track, while 2 indicates crucial
yeah I just use detailed scouting
but I checked the Williams one
Yeah think something like that is part of the game and should be done inside
so
1-0-1-2-0-1-0-1-2-0-0-0
this is a good sheet though I feel it's lowkey cheating?
in a way that the calculator is not
Not entirely, you've just done admin work for information that was already available and put it onto a spreadsheet. 🤷♂️
I mean the salary sheet
like if you did the math by hand you could do what the setup calculator does by yourself, but this information is unknowable without the sheet
but the info in the salary sheet is meant to be locked behind scouting
I mean its a single player game do whatever you want
but I dont like the idea of using it myself
Yeah salary sheet defo feels cheating
But left it there for if someone wants to use it
ye
I wont touch it
not like I need anyone else, bottas is the best driver on the grid that is interested in me
and he's only like 3 points behind the maxes and lewises
and my staff/engineers are borderline best on grid
prolly flatters my car too
ye it does
I've had it go 100%
on the preset setup
you can now pretty reliably get 100% during FP1
spend FP2 and FP3 getting track acclima and then just park the cars to save engine
guy who makes it is ultra baseed
legit
its simple replace all ur staff so its no longer accurate

stole a bunch of Aston staff lol
@tight sinew

hm
my end goal is to have two danish drivers
I got vesti as reserve rn, magnussen could potentially replace vettel
but I'd wanna know what kevin's growth potential is
DesiredScreenHeight=720 LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenWidth=1280 LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenHeight=720
Yikes
@eager thunder you wanna sneak me that knowledge?
what is kmag's growth potential
in multiplier (seen after each race/practice iirc)
lemme go and check 1 sec
I have Oscar and an Australian reserve driver
wonder if its possible to have 100 maxed out drivers
if I can recall it was like less than 1x
sadge
ill dubble check in next gp
what's with this game sucking jehan deruvala's cock btw
he's in F22 and he's like 77 rating
even though he's P8 in the F2 championship IRL
Both tbh
both drove like fucking idiots
but more pia
half grid using m on 2-3 mm rain

time for u to sneak into the points
drs seems overtuned asf
DRS current gives you ||65% boost to acceleration||
Tyre temps ||only affects degredation which in turn slightly affects grip||
And the image shows durability fo the tyres
Seems some features are also missing from the game currently such as: ||Driver rivalries with special rivalry events, Driver traits and staff traints||
can they mod a clown on ferrari please?
Also ai behaviour, ||They all use the same, tyre, fuel and ers settings and it doesnt change||
More than fine
im not going p6 this season though
my goal is p9
idk what happens if both me and Aston both don't get points tho

@wise flint I'm so tempted to drop Albon rn and complete the reshuffle
he's doing worse than Oscar basically every race
Albans a good driver tbh
yeah but he's losing to a rookie
it would be result countback, so most 11th places, and if tied, most 12th places
at least thats how it works irl
vettel and spinning from great positions
name a more iconic duo
meanwhile bottas fucking leading
bottas a damn chad
damn Merc on ur ass
slightly rocky start but going well rn
F1 manager discord has devolved into people having fun and discussing their saves
and a bunch of people shitting on it and calling bugs out
Also for anyone that knew there was a research cheese where if you slammed all sliders to the right it would make a giga car when researching for next year even with 0 aero testing
that has been fixed
so don't do that now

A game having bigs
Bugs
Would never happen

Crashed or?

Ran out of fuel im guessing
aarava literall crossed the finish line in his youtube video and ran out of fuel a metre over it
😭

and have you replaced albon? @tight sinew
yeah
he was the last one standing
got sick of him getting hard fucked by Piastri every race
is keeping the board happy ur main prio over the season goal
cause I'd assume the board is prio 1
well the board can fire u
just like IRL then
you're williams right

lets see how much that would actually cost
man dont buy expensive drivers just train em up
unless you need to meet some goal and are struggling
like
Bottas is GREAT
for me
but man hes expensive
and its fucking me a bit
I am barely breaking even each week
I got gasly on the cheap
whats fucking me atm as RB is i upgraded all my facilities
now i have to pay lik 30 mil in refurbish
I have NO shot at upgrading facilities
how much do u pay ur drivers Azor
idk I think both their salaries are well above the double digit millions
Lap 4 @tight sinew
the Danny special
Having my best race without a safety car
and albon crahses into giovinazzi
and fucks everything up

Yeah Albon crashed and fucked my first chance at points for the season
So I got rid of him for Gasly lmao

Goatify
so much minmaxing im not doing properly with timing of development and research etc
Oh new information
do not waste money on a rushed reserach or development
The value in the the database people have found is exactly the same as normal
you mean intense?
Thats the one
Couldnt remember the exact name
just remember reading it this morning
Oh trust me
alot is fucked
but im still having fun
Ill see if I can grab it
alot of it is on their reddit
been trying to avoid discords and reddits, just doing my own thing
but ofc if things are broken thats good to know..
Yeah theres quite a few things that don't work as they should but doesnt change my perception of the game
and still enjoy it for what its worth
Spoilered the image for people who don't want to know the exact values
I imagine alot these things will get changed/fixed over the next few months
I think it's good to check things and see how they work but also understand it's a first iteration of a game series and it didn't even get a betta
But sorry I got it the wrong way around
rushed is supposed to hurt your expertise
but it doesnt change
intesnse is actually worth to some degree
sooo
nothing is broken in there
you either spend more to get more knowledge
or get the part faster
exactly the same as written in game
I think the point is that there's no expertise penalty for Rushed
?
and that's definitely not what it says ingame
Rushed still costs more and doesn't seem worth using.. unless you're loaded I guess
i mean you can swin with cash yeah but as rb i never have more than 5mil
Yeah I mean at the end of it is just about how quickly you want the parts but I don't find the cash a major worry tbh e.g. the differece between rushing or doing a normal manufacture for my new sidepods is 200k dif
constantly spending
yeah just using as an example though

im up to zandvoort 2023
2 points ahead of mercedes in 4th in constructors
got new rear wing for end of season
i'm slow
rb 2023 spain 1st
ferrari 2022 spa 1st obv
i wish there was a slider that gave ai more research/money
i feel like im uh
way too ahead
Williams 2022 just finished canada and 7th
its kina funny
you have to start with a backmarker
because i basically dominate RB in mine
i'm just like get a WDC for ferrari to prove its possible
yeah i wanted to start as rb to just not worry about funding while i learned the game
was in that reddit post too
might end up doing the whole season with no engine penalties and never running a damaged engine in a race
huge
@wise flint made my first Q2
aint that tos
wdym sir its 2 pog faces wearing hats
which part out of curiosity
Doolb ima be real ive been posting it for a couple months 
the part where it's a scrotum
@tired fulcrum sir
idk what a scrotum is
Ill refrain from the PogNuts then
aus education
on a F1 manager related note @wise flint Gasly starts p11 surely points are on here
@tired fulcrum No more pognuts from now on pinky promise, Ill become a reformed pogger
also for sure
OH BABY
YEAAAAAAAAAA
its insane how much I overperform in races compared to quali
idk if I do my run strategy wrong in Quali somehow
same
did you guys do a test?
only up to France s1 atm on this save cuz I swapped over to Williams haven't had much of a chance to play with the specs of the car or anything
you mean by simming?
yeah simming got me P18 and 20 last I tried it
About to start my British GP
Cut the average laptimes from my SS
should speed up my save
I’ve got heavy rain for Quali and race in Hungary
lawd
not bad for first season
not a whole lot
tbf currently in fp1 for Spa so plenty of time for this to change
ye 6th to 8th is a tighht battle in your save, was for me as well
honestly tho getting Gasly has been huge
was cheap and is outperforming the car massively
on first lap of Hungary he went from p8 to p4 with no spins/lockups etc
double overtake on 2 consecutive corners
bruh Piastri has gone through 3 front wings in one weekend so far





Gasly doing bits after penalty cuz Yuki destroyed my fresh ERS
wet races btw..
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE GAME
I'VE BEEN CONSERVING FUEL FOR 20 LAPS AND ONLY GAINED 0.2 LAPS
https://old.reddit.com/r/F1Manager/comments/x5ijlr/zhou_engine_blew_up_before_the_start_of_the_race/
It’s a bug they’re aware of btw
So should be getting my fixed next patch
Apparently fuel just randomly fluctuates
its a shitshow during wet races
I had my fuel go from 0 to like +8 laps at Monaco in half a lap
Then back down to 0 after the swimming pool chicane
yee ferrari is pretty ez pz
basically develop anything and you can even just go and sim everything
still WDC + WCC
A Ferrari on fire taking out its teammate and then being launched into a Red Bull. If there’s a better crash in F1 manager I’ll be shocked.
1564
MAG MADE it to q3

Piastri just crashed into 2 different drivers on 1 lap
@tight sinew WTF???
gotta pit
i legit dont kn ow
yea
unless ur lead is big enough to defend
im pitting
i take that
2 and 3
thats a really pog result as haas I'd say
fuck off
yeah I got that one as well

Idk if the patch has changed anything as I’m on holiday but I run tyres a lot higher at like 4 or 5 dots so might give you even more pace as not sure it effects grip yet
is there some mods out yet about ers and stuff?
lol it did for mine

Gasly 
No kevin 😦
Gasly is a great pick up
He is ye
fairly cheap too
I scouted also based on growth potential and aggression, trying to get good value for money across all parameters
But MAN
the top 6 points system sucks massive cock
I may have overdeveloped my fw and underfloor
every parameter on my car is best on grid
except for top speed and accel
which is 20th
kek
no such thing
all about that value for upgrades
we'll see how this season goes
I got #3 in my second season
and its very hard to break into the top 2
just like IRL.
I went with red bull engines in my 3rd year, more peak performance
and now I got my engine/ERS/gearbox strategy worked out
the lower durability should be fine
yeah the fp strat is so good
lmao im in best of the rest no mans land
I quali p5 and p6
I finish p5 and p6
yep p5 and p6 in all quali sessions in saudi arabia
best of the rest ain't bad
secures good funding so u can catch up to the facilities of those top teams
awesome they still havent fixed the Conserve fuel not working
so I just ran out of fuel with bottas on the last lap while leading by 15 seconds
after being on Conserve for 10 laps
with -0.5 fuel
and it never reaching 0
:)
supposed to be fixed in this coming patch
sometime this coming week it releases pre sure
so keen
neat
ye he joined for 2024 in my save kekw

10 laps to go
let's see :)
last lap update:
it turned green on last corner
perfectly executed
1-3 finish in australia

imola* nvm
The only time I noticed it working is vsc or safety cars
And I still haven't seen a redflag in 2 seasons

I’ve had 2
One was old save and one on current save which is still season 1
Waiting for the update coming this week and gonna go hard when it drops
lol
my rear wing/chassis is so bad that even if I max out an upgrade
it'd still be worst on grid
its kinda working tbf
still havent had a 1-2 finish
but lets see what miami brings
got some nice upgrades for bottas
Idk if im hitting 3 more podiums before season term is over
pole for bottas 
gasly quite error-prone
starts p3, fucks it on lap 2
no chance of points
azor i got piastri p1 in one race in my 2023 season
kinda surpirsed
i dont get the ers management though I use deploy every now and then and leave netural on
cause stopid monki brain
niice
