f1-games

[visual schooner]

sometimes it's like that

[exotic tinsel]

the bands get narrower as they get more confident

[visual schooner]

just play around w it

[visual schooner]

^^

[visual schooner]

the more u do laps

[exotic tinsel]

You'll notice the ones they said "bad" to have much wider bands than the ones they said "good" to

[lyric scaffold]

Ah

[visual schooner]

U WONT BELIEVE THIS

ALBON IS IN P13

IT'S YEAR 1

WHAT A MIRACLE

[lyric scaffold]

Nice

[visual schooner]

nvm

he dropped P15

LMFAOOO

[lyric scaffold]

P13+14 in pratice an improvement ig

Charles on hards quicker then max on softs

Ik run plans and stuff

But

[exotic tinsel]

Oh I should do Williams so I can make Latifi the real GOATifi and make Albon the Albest

[naive ivy]

no tires are just broken in this game, but ig they will fix ist

[exotic tinsel]

fr

[naive ivy]

daniel got fastest lap in old hards in my career

[exotic tinsel]

like I said earlier, I have run every single race on maximum pace while using one-stoppers

[naive ivy]

yes

[exotic tinsel]

It's way too easy

[naive ivy]

and when it starts to rain, just pit to wets, they are overpowered

[visual schooner]

norris crashed

[naive ivy]

and ai will first pit to inters

[exotic tinsel]

The only thing I have to micromanage is ERS so I can dump all of it on the last three laps to murder a Ferrari or Red Bull

[visual schooner]

im so fking sad

[exotic tinsel]

yep

[lyric scaffold]

It’s so hard to get right

[visual schooner]

oh fr?

not inters?

[naive ivy]

i won 2 races with mclaren in S1, both rain races

[exotic tinsel]

inters more like inting

[lyric scaffold]

Rlly?

I’m McLaren now

Australia is rain

[naive ivy]

wets are faster on 1mm rain than inters 💀

[visual schooner]

oof

[visual schooner]

I LOVE THIS GAME

[exotic tinsel]

I wait until the rain is at 1mm then I slap on wets

and they will last for two whole races i stg

[lyric scaffold]

Daniels set up is so much easier to get in optimal then landos lmao

[exotic tinsel]

they dont degrade at all

[visual schooner]

lmao

[exotic tinsel]

max pace and everything

[visual schooner]

dude

why cant vettel get a buff

😭

[naive ivy]

and yesterday i had the belgiun gp with rain, they pitted charles in 2mm rain on inters, next round sainz, so charles stayed 2 spa laps with inters in 4mm rain, THAT REALISM

[lyric scaffold]

Such balls Lando has a worse setup and is miles clear of Daniel

[naive ivy]

and i think its clear they put on inters on sainz too

[exotic tinsel]

This game takes the "when it rains it pours" expression very literally

[naive ivy]

the podium was:

1. lando
2. daniel
3. bottas

[exotic tinsel]

never switch from dry tires to inters, it will always rain too hard to use them

[naive ivy]

i qualified 13-14

[exotic tinsel]

and never switch from wets to inters, the track dries too fast

[visual schooner]

MY RACE FINISHED ON A SAFETY CAR

[exotic tinsel]

GOATIFI

[naive ivy]

yeah but ai realise it too, they stay out with wets until its dry

[exotic tinsel]

of course

[exotic tinsel]

good, it's about the only thing they do realise

[visual schooner]

bottas crashed into norris

and i just retired norris

[exotic tinsel]

literally only good strat call the AI makes is that one right there

[visual schooner]

cuz there was no point at that point

[exotic tinsel]

stroll to mclaren

[naive ivy]

they dont do alternative strategies too, they still have good mediums, like 60% but dont overcut

[exotic tinsel]

man what an alternate dimension that is

If Stroll leaves AM, he leaves the fucking sport lmao

[naive ivy]

or lawrence want another team

[lyric scaffold]

My race is gonna be rain, even if it’s light is wets the best option?

[visual schooner]

ye i bought lando out

[naive ivy]

yed

[visual schooner]

so stroll ended up there lol

[naive ivy]

ALWAYS WETS

they are fr faster

[lyric scaffold]

Ok

I trust u

[exotic tinsel]

inters are trash

every other tire is overpowered

[lyric scaffold]

Ima take these inters of then

In pratice

[naive ivy]

nah in practice u can use them

[visual schooner]

what the fak were these teams thinking voting for this bs

[naive ivy]

im 16 points behind mercedes because of the 2 wins 💀

[exotic tinsel]

I've also noticed that using conservative pace mode does not affect practice track and setup acclimatisation in any way

[visual schooner]

practice doesnt matter

i usually save my softs during practice

i let ai do fp1

but I do mediums on fp2 and hards on fp3

since I only ever need 1 set of those in an actual racce

[exotic tinsel]

I ran one car on conserve and the other on maximum and they completed setup confidence at the same time

only difference is tire and engine wear

[lyric scaffold]

Bruh ffs

As soon as I go onto wets

The track dries

[visual schooner]

rip u

[naive ivy]

i really hope they fix tires, the game would be so much better. i love the game, but some things are too easy

[exotic tinsel]

yeah im fucking addicted but winning from cheesing the broken tires is really boring lmao

[visual schooner]

also drivers

[naive ivy]

or alfa romeo

[visual schooner]

some drivers are just stupid broken or crap

[naive ivy]

why is alfa so strong

[exotic tinsel]

because alfa was strong in bahrain

aaaaaaand that was about it

[visual schooner]

^^

[exotic tinsel]

but then again why is haas so weak

[visual schooner]

they based everything off bahrain

[exotic tinsel]

they outscored alfa at that race

[lyric scaffold]

This game is much better then f1 22 in terms of bugs

[naive ivy]

yeah thats true

[exotic tinsel]

no

[lyric scaffold]

Yes

This has wayyy less bugs

[naive ivy]

on release yes

[visual schooner]

oh i stopped playing f1 22 alr

[exotic tinsel]

there are no game-breaking bugs but the UI bugs are fucking horrendous

[lyric scaffold]

^^

[arctic heath]

Should’ve gotten f1 manager instead

[exotic tinsel]

I've run into SEVERAL UI bugs

[arctic heath]

Might get it next year

[visual schooner]

worth the buy

[lyric scaffold]

I’ve got like none

[naive ivy]

winter sale is coming soon

[exotic tinsel]

how

[visual schooner]

the only annoying bug ive ran into was where safety car would not go away

[arctic heath]

Not in Australia I don’t think

Unless we have a summer sale

Idk

[naive ivy]

oh

[visual schooner]

and crashed cars were stuck on track

[exotic tinsel]

wait does australia have steam summer sales in december?

[naive ivy]

sorry but this sounds so weird to me as a european 💀

[exotic tinsel]

I figured it was the same either way because Valve is an American company

[lyric scaffold]

Do u guys take manual control in quali laps

[exotic tinsel]

no

[lyric scaffold]

Same

Bruh

Daniel 8 tenths off Lando on first runs

[naive ivy]

no because ai already is pushing everything in hotlap

[exotic tinsel]

the auto control in quali does exactly what its supposed to

[visual schooner]

danny ric and vettel are not good

[exotic tinsel]

conserve on the out lap, full push on the hotlap, conserve on the cooldown

theres no reason to take control xd

[naive ivy]

my danny ric is decent, 2 tenths slower than lando and sometimes even in q3

[exotic tinsel]

McLaren has one point

[arctic heath]

Is there still a lot of bugs on f1 22

[exotic tinsel]

It's round 14

[naive ivy]

my mclaren has 186 points

[lyric scaffold]

Ffs, I only done one run in q1 , Lando got 13th and Daniel 16th

[exotic tinsel]

what the fuck

[arctic heath]

I have it but don’t play it because it’s unplayable

[lyric scaffold]

Such an L

[naive ivy]

like i said, i won 2 rain races

[lyric scaffold]

Daniel in Jeddah and Australia - p16 in quali

He’s got to go soon

[naive ivy]

im fighting with merc

[exotic tinsel]

oh well if you're in control of mclaren obviously they're gonna do well because the AI strategy is shit

but AI McLaren is really really bad

[lyric scaffold]

Season?

[naive ivy]

1 💀

[lyric scaffold]

What race

[naive ivy]

zandvoort

[lyric scaffold]

Wh

Ah*

My best result is p5 in Jeddah w McLaren

[naive ivy]

but the merc is so much better, im just that high because of rain races

[visual schooner]

pretty good

[lyric scaffold]

Lmao

[naive ivy]

i now focus on s2 car, because i think alpine cant reach me

[exotic tinsel]

red bull pfp, merc name, ferrari role, mclaren team in F1M

what a chad

[naive ivy]

🗿

[naive ivy]

look closer on my profile 😏

[lyric scaffold]

Fuck

Australia p12-16

[exotic tinsel]

alpine banner, mclaren about me, vettel fan

[lyric scaffold]

Still no q3

@naive ivy when was ur first q3 appearance

[naive ivy]

but the vettel fan is from april fools

[lyric scaffold]

Cause we are both McLaren

Idk if I’m doing a bad job in quali

[naive ivy]

very late, i think imola maybe?

[lyric scaffold]

Ah

I hope mine too

[visual schooner]

im in japan now

[naive ivy]

just try to get many upgrades

[visual schooner]

so close to ending my season yay

[exotic tinsel]

too bad vettel is washed both in game and irl

[lyric scaffold]

Finally 90% and 80% confidence

WW

[visual schooner]

idk how he has pts irl

im struggling w this game and him

[lyric scaffold]

My race is going from dry to wet

Only 2 cars on softs at start

[exotic tinsel]

Not everyone can be Fernando "I'm 41 and fighting with Mercedes and McLaren for P5 every race" Alonso

[naive ivy]

i was so scared, in my first win race, i was 15 secs in front of max, and 10 laps before the end: safety car 💀

[lyric scaffold]

Lmao

Ffs

[naive ivy]

but daniel ric is goat and i just let him push, he won the race with 3 secs

[lyric scaffold]

Everyone can go without putting till rain

I can’t

Didn’t realise that

[exotic tinsel]

#f1-games message meant to reply

[lyric scaffold]

It’s fine I’m gonna get double points still

[exotic tinsel]

honestly if nando didn't have bad luck and reliability issues in the middle of the first half of the year he'd probably be right behind Lewis in the WDC

and he's about to hold the record for most race starts

[naive ivy]

an another tipp, buy lambiase and balbo, as mclaren you are rich af so buy them

[visual schooner]

4 time world champ seb can

I believe

[exotic tinsel]

in your dreams maybe

[exotic tinsel]

"idk how he has pts irl"

[naive ivy]

is it cursed that lambiase is my race engineer of lando?

[visual schooner]

I meant irl

Not in game

[bitter finch]

bro stole GP 💀

[exotic tinsel]

but you said irl

[visual schooner]

I believe he can get pts irl

But not in game

[naive ivy]

no happy birthday for wills mum

[visual schooner]

But still unbelievable how tf he even has any if the game is am’s pace

[naive ivy]

but why isnt bono interested into mclaren 🥲

[visual schooner]

Idk

[exotic tinsel]

happy birthday gianpiero's mum

[naive ivy]

YES

i think i might be champion already in s2

[visual schooner]

That was wholesome

[lyric scaffold]

Lads

The ai went straight into wets aswell

My plan is ruined

Now I’m 12-15

[naive ivy]

.no

[exotic tinsel]

man i fucking knew what it was and i still clicked it

my poor ears

[naive ivy]

you may have the chance not everyone pitted

just wait

[lyric scaffold]

Everyone has

Gonna be first race w no points

I’m rubbish

I just turn on agressive

Then 16x

Then when I need to use overtake

[naive ivy]

with wets you can go on full push

[lyric scaffold]

Yep

I literally do my whole race in 8x lmao

[exotic tinsel]

casual full-push zero-stopper

[lyric scaffold]

Personally I don’t find many things to manage in the race

[naive ivy]

yeah same most of the time

i hope they fix tires

[exotic tinsel]

dude im watching twitch while waiting to press the pit in prompt

i literally dont play the game during the race until the second stint, and I only change ERS

maximum push, balanced lift coast

[lyric scaffold]

Same

[naive ivy]

sometimes push fuel

[exotic tinsel]

i only push fuel on out laps and the last three laps

I end up with a perfect fuel delta every time

Zhou can push a little harder but Bottas is a fuel hog for some reason

maybe because he is faster idk

[naive ivy]

lando cant defend

[exotic tinsel]

lol

[visual schooner]

he has 74 defense rating

[exotic tinsel]

there is no way in hell lando is worse at defense than bottas

[visual schooner]

me in 16x:

[exotic tinsel]

I can think of several occasions last year where Lando held off Lewis or Max or another driver for multiple laps

Bottas did not defend to help Lewis once

or himself for that matter

[visual schooner]

he helped lewis defend once

by causing a crash w abt 4 other cars

[exotic tinsel]

oh true true

he did fuck up verstappen there

only good thing he did last year for merc

but he has a higher defense rating than Lando...

[lyric scaffold]

Season results so far:
Daniel - p8,13,10
Lando - p10,5,12

[exotic tinsel]

Who held off Lewis for many laps around Imola, a few laps at Austria, and held off 18 cars in a pack race around Monza for Daniel

[lyric scaffold]

Could of been p9 if one more lap

But it’s decent

[visual schooner]

oh wow

[exotic tinsel]

How is McLaren that bad

I have yet to finish both drivers outside the points

and only on a few occasions did Zhou not score

[lyric scaffold]

Dunno

8th best car

[exotic tinsel]

I kinda wanna play McLaren now

[lyric scaffold]

It’s fun

[exotic tinsel]

sounds like an actual challenge

[lyric scaffold]

Nooo 5th in consturctors now

[lyric scaffold]

It is, but I’m rubbish so I’m making it seem harder

Onto Imola

Think I will have my upgraded now

[exotic tinsel]

I've never played a management game ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[visual schooner]

williams is hard too

[lyric scaffold]

Same

[visual schooner]

but i did manage to get piastri pts

[lyric scaffold]

Guys

Do I waste $11.5 mil on design centre upgrade, I have $35 mil rn

[visual schooner]

oh idk abt that

i spend mine on wind tunnel

[lyric scaffold]

Wind tunnel is more for me

[lyric scaffold]

I’ll go down to $24 mil

Idk if that’s worth it

[exotic tinsel]

with the information provided when choosing a team, it seems Alfa is the hardest challenge

[lyric scaffold]

Please help @naive ivy @exotic tinsel

[exotic tinsel]

A low budget team who wants 5th in 2022 and to be a podium contender

[lyric scaffold]

Lmao

[exotic tinsel]

up to you

[lyric scaffold]

I’ll wait till I get a bit more money

[visual schooner]

ive honestly never had more than 31 mil

[exotic tinsel]

same

[visual schooner]

cuz i spend a lot

[lyric scaffold]

Ok

Screw it

I bought some other stuff

22 mil now

[visual schooner]

ive had 40 mil once

but that was end of season

[lyric scaffold]

What’s ur lowest?

[visual schooner]

and i spent all of that on drivers

[visual schooner]

3

[lyric scaffold]

Jeez

I feel broke

I went from $35 mil

To $22 mil

[exotic tinsel]

thats completely normal tho

"broke" is when you can't afford to pay your drivers bonuses

like <5m

[lyric scaffold]

10-11 days till I have new upgrades

[lyric scaffold]

Luckily

They are 6 and 8th

And they won’t get that

Because of the car

[exotic tinsel]

go for broke dude

spend all that cheese

[lyric scaffold]

I’m not gonna

[exotic tinsel]

just watch the cost cap and you're gucci

[visual schooner]

honestly have at least 8-10 mil and you always gonna be good

[lyric scaffold]

Ok

[exotic tinsel]

i agree with that

[lyric scaffold]

Im doing team hub again

It’s cheap

And helps a lot

[exotic tinsel]

an eight digit number is very nice

[lyric scaffold]

8 digits >

Reaserch period is open

W

[exotic tinsel]

i dont understand that yet

seems like something you'd do when you're ready to stop upgrading your current car

[lyric scaffold]

My car was one of the best in low speed downforce

Hugh speed downforce is chnaged for s2

So

That’s good

Imola time baby

[visual schooner]

my car stats rn

[lyric scaffold]

Australia race took 20 minutes

[visual schooner]

crappy acceleration lmfao

[exotic tinsel]

bruh nothing of mine is below 5th

check alfa

im curious

[lyric scaffold]

After Imola ima@check that

[exotic tinsel]

wow

[visual schooner]

im in cota

[lyric scaffold]

Wait

[exotic tinsel]

im just better ig

[lyric scaffold]

Why does Imola

Not have a sprint

[exotic tinsel]

jk i have no idea what im doing

but the AI seems really bad at everything

game is fuckin easy

[lyric scaffold]

Guys

Did u guys have a sprint

[exotic tinsel]

no sprints

[lyric scaffold]

Ohh

[exotic tinsel]

not yet anyway

[lyric scaffold]

I was gonna say

[exotic tinsel]

the tutorial lady says that Bahrain is "a normal weekend, so there's two practices on Friday"

Which implies that sprints are a planned feature

I hope it comes soon though because that sounds like a lot of fun

[lyric scaffold]

After Bahrain the lady just went for me

[exotic tinsel]

yeah shes only there for Bah

[lyric scaffold]

Bruh

So i turned her off in my old save cause it was glitched

Then started a new one cause I wanted her

Ffs

[exotic tinsel]

as someone who has never played a manager game it was nice to get the fundamentals

but I do like that the tutorial is only one race, I feel that's all you need

[visual schooner]

same ive never played before

i actually skipped the tutorial

and im doing very ok

[exotic tinsel]

I think the reason I'm doing so well could have something to do with really liking the technical side of F1, and having played My Team in F1 2021

[lyric scaffold]

3/3 races I have kept points record

[visual schooner]

nice

[lyric scaffold]

I hope to make it 4/4

[visual schooner]

should i switch to a ferrari engine next season

[exotic tinsel]

like the game does not tell you how to do strategy, like push hard on in laps and out laps to undercut your opponents, or that using hard and mediums is better for practice so you can have at least three sets of softs for Q1 and Q2

or that you should use an OLD SET of softs for the first run of Q2 and Q3, but NEW SETS for the final run of any quali

[lyric scaffold]

Yep

[exotic tinsel]

game doesn't tell you that, that's knowledge you gain from watching F1 and motorsports

or by playing other manager games previously

[visual schooner]

mhm

imagine if online play was a thing

how chaotic it would be

[exotic tinsel]

sounds really fun though

[visual schooner]

for sure

[exotic tinsel]

esp since the ai is so bad

[visual schooner]

i wanna imagine like a 20 player lobby

each dude takes over 1 car from each team

but both dudes have to decide together what upgrades to do etc.

[exotic tinsel]

or an even larger scale thing

like 50 players: a team boss, 2 engineers, and 2 drivers

team boss tells engineers what to do and the engineers tell the drivers what to do

[visual schooner]

damn

that's huge

[exotic tinsel]

but the engineers can choose to listen to the drivers or the data

so they can be real fuck-ups like ferrari and mclaren in russia last year :D

[lyric scaffold]

They should make it like fm with a co op career

Me and my dad done it

And it was fun

I think it will be a good addition

[exotic tinsel]

i never did that, how does time work in that game?

like as far as advancing days or time skipping in practice and quali

[lyric scaffold]

It was a long time ago , I can’t really remember

[exotic tinsel]

I imagine its like minecraft or something where both players must agree to skip time or advance to the next day/week

or perhaps its like Stellaris where the host has control over the time scale

[visual schooner]

same

[wintry fiber]

hot

[visual schooner]

holy crap

cota eats tires

[lyric scaffold]

Wtf

Sent both out on a quali lap at the end

Same fuel

Same plan

1.264 difference

[wintry fiber]

what team

oh mclaren?

[visual schooner]

WHY IS DANNY RIC SO QUICK

[lyric scaffold]

I don’t know 😭

Q1- p13-14

Lando does a 16.8
Daniel 16.9

Strange

Ffs

P13-14

Still no q3

Bruh

Game crashed

[visual schooner]

oof

[lyric scaffold]

Scrap what I said

Quali has to restart

[wintry fiber]

[exotic tinsel]

who the hell is Mitchel Shoemaker

[wintry fiber]

where do you see mitchel

[exotic tinsel]

when I was a young lad, a stupid lad, I thought "michael" was how you spelled "mitchel"

thats how I pronounced it

[visual schooner]

EVERYONE

I DID IT

MY 1ST TIME

[lyric scaffold]

P13-14

Still no q3

[exotic tinsel]

holy fuck thats rad

[visual schooner]

FR

[exotic tinsel]

I've had 98% my highest

DUDE THATS FP1 AFTER FIRST STINT WTF

YOU'RE ACTUALLY A LEGEND

[lyric scaffold]

Idk how I’m gonna get q3

Just don’t have the pace

[visual schooner]

nah im in fp3 lmfao

[exotic tinsel]

oh nvm I read "Practice Goals Car 1" as Practice 1"

yeah

[visual schooner]

but still

holy moly

[exotic tinsel]

I was gonna say the bands are not that small after one stint

yeah gj

I've been simulating P2 and P3 and getting high 80s low 90s because that's good enough for me

[visual schooner]

it's so hard to get optimal smh

[exotic tinsel]

fr

there is only one optimal setting

[lyric scaffold]

I got that last time

[exotic tinsel]

and its different, per car, per driver, per track

[lyric scaffold]

Now I’m on 60-70

[visual schooner]

i have 35.7 hours in this game lmfao

im addicted

[exotic tinsel]

so you cant use someone else's setup for your car

[visual schooner]

yeah

[exotic tinsel]

i installed it last night after realizing that the game is out

10.6 hours in a day xd

[visual schooner]

lmfaooo

[wintry fiber]

Why does the game crash every time i use flashback

[exotic tinsel]

would have been more if I didn't try to paralyze myself this afternoon

because it's F1 2014

[wintry fiber]

no im on f1 2012

[exotic tinsel]

even better

[wintry fiber]

2014 works perfectly

[lyric scaffold]

McLaren is so hard icl

Some times maybe good

Some times maybe shit

[exotic tinsel]

McLaren seems like the most challenging one ngl

[lyric scaffold]

They want a consturctors by 2026

[visual schooner]

lap 1 and stroll alr crashed

typical stroll

[lyric scaffold]

I’m not having many crashes

Only 1

And I’m in r4

[exotic tinsel]

They want 4th in the constructors and a championship by 2026 with a dogshit car

[visual schooner]

fuck no

too hard

[exotic tinsel]

which car is 10th in new game? williams?

I'm gonna play williams

[visual schooner]

yup

williams is actual dogshit

[exotic tinsel]

dope

[visual schooner]

gotta fire latifi no matter what

[exotic tinsel]

sounds like a challenge

alfa is fucking busted OP

[visual schooner]

frr

[exotic tinsel]

i just like alfa because their car is sexy

[visual schooner]

i like am cuz i get money

[exotic tinsel]

daddys cash

[visual schooner]

ye

[lyric scaffold]

Imola has no overtaking

[visual schooner]

except daddy stroll's son is gone

[arctic heath]

Might do a career mode at alpine for f1 22

Or McLaren

[exotic tinsel]

daddy stroll be like "You can race alongside my handsome son if you meow for me every day"

[lyric scaffold]

Stuck in p13-14

[arctic heath]

Ok I’m gonna put it up to a vote

for McLaren
for alpine

F1 22 career mode

[exotic tinsel]

I would play AM because I like their livery but after what they did to Perez in 2020 I have absolutely zero love for that team or anyone on it

besides Seb because he has nothing to do with it

[visual schooner]

just me but i dont like alpine livery

[exotic tinsel]

I love it

[visual schooner]

[exotic tinsel]

the blue that alpine and williams use are the best colors on the grid

no fucking cap

[lyric scaffold]

BWT ruins it

[exotic tinsel]

i like the blue and pink ngl

[lyric scaffold]

Last year was good

[exotic tinsel]

sure last years car was way nicer with Castrol but BWT is okay

I particularly liked the livery they used in Abu Dhabi that had a lot more of Castrol's colors

[lyric scaffold]

The all pink one is better imo

[exotic tinsel]

nah

reminds me too much of tracing point

or the Porsche pink pig livery

Which has not grown on me like it has everyone else

[visual schooner]

last yr i liked

im not a big fan of the bwt

[lyric scaffold]

Nah

That one’s worst

[exotic tinsel]

I might be very biased because the Castrol TOM's Supra is my favorite car from Gran Turismo 2

and the green/red is really fucking nice

but I think the Green/Gold/Red/Metallic Blue is a really good color combo

[wintry fiber]

amazing safety car deployed because of crash

and its starting to rain

and it crashed

ffs

[lyric scaffold]

Ffs Daniel tan wide and has underbody damage

[exotic tinsel]

oh the other reason I like Alpine's livery is because it resembles my favorite race car of all time

[lyric scaffold]

That’s a sexy car

[exotic tinsel]

no one else thinks so but I love the boxy design of 80s cars

[lyric scaffold]

Got the undercut Sewy

[exotic tinsel]

and the livery is super nice

[lyric scaffold]

Overcut even

[exotic tinsel]

me overcutting everyone because the alfa is the fastest car on the grid

yeah max you take that lap 29 pit stop, I'm gonna go set fastest laps for the next 15 laps before pitting for softs to do it again, then win by a 30 second margin

in fact I will pit for another set of softs because I can

[lyric scaffold]

And we won a 1-2 finish stroll was in 4th before turn 9

[sudden mist]

Bro I bought f1 22 this summer after playing f1 18 for a while

man the ai from f1 18 is way better imo

[snow zenith]

You spin once and the car is undriveable

[sudden mist]

Ive lost frontwings from ai just moving under braking, driving into me, even though I'm leaving 2 cars width

[snow zenith]

No matter how cautious on spinning I am

[sudden mist]

yeah it's insane

[snow zenith]

Fr

[sudden mist]

it's like 2 player career, so my friend wanted ai level 30

damn the ai level 30 fricking dnf'ed me

[snow zenith]

💀

[exotic tinsel]

if you're racing level 30 ai then just qualify first

else qualify last and wait for them to spread out after lap 1, pick them off 1 by 1

oh but career has quali goals and stuff

[keen brook]

not really

You lost lose a bit of acclaim.

Which you get easy back in the race if you finish in the points.

[sudden mist]

yeah its the first time I didnt qualify first, spun in barcelona...

[exotic tinsel]

great, so qualify last and pick them off

[snow zenith]

This game is wicked, I felt better without a front wing than with one

Maybe it’s just Australia

[exotic tinsel]

how long are the races

[snow zenith]

But I was flying past everyone on straights

[sudden mist]

thats exactly what I did, stayed 20th for the first 2 sectors and attacked one by one, but they moved during braking...

[lyric scaffold]

Imola p8
P13

1 second behind p5

[sudden mist]

just 5 laps

[exotic tinsel]

oh

gross

[lyric scaffold]

Just couldn’t get those Ferraris and alpine

But it’s improvements

[exotic tinsel]

minimum 25% or bust

pit strategy is the best part of any racing game

[sudden mist]

we just aren't consistent enough lol, if we set it to 25% or more, we wont finish most of the races lolo

[lyric scaffold]

Joint 5th in consturctors

Alfa Romeo 7th

[sudden mist]

yeah thats true

I'm playing on controller, my friend is new to racing, but is playing with a steering wheel

[lyric scaffold]

Sidepods finally finished

[exotic tinsel]

I don't mind a race where I can barely overtake if I can undercut them later

[sudden mist]

I do play 25%+ races, but only solo

[lyric scaffold]

Guys on f1 manager I don’t understand research

Please explain

[exotic tinsel]

My career was set to 50% races and I would do like 6 a day

my arms were very sore after enduring that over like 2 weeks

[sudden mist]

if only I had that time

if only i had a wheel 🤣

[exotic tinsel]

xd

all my friends live in the university town about an hour away so I have no social life outside family

So most of my freetime outside work is spent gaming or playing piano

[sudden mist]

oh that sucks

[exotic tinsel]

its whatever

we have wild parties in the summer and winter when they come back tho

[pseudo wing]

story of my career so far

not to mention 2 mechanical failures 2 races in a row

[exotic tinsel]

when your engineers are stupid as fuck

[pseudo wing]

I was P10 in Miami when my turbo decided to yeet itself

[exotic tinsel]

dude I was P6 in Imola in the wet in a 50% race with Alonso on my ass for the last 15 laps

[pseudo wing]

doing the Alonso train to Alonso

[exotic tinsel]

DRS failed on the second-to-last lap and he blew by me

[pseudo wing]

F

DRS in the wet?

[exotic tinsel]

by the time it fixed he was 3 seconds down the road

drying

[pseudo wing]

ah

yeah all those upgrades were for Spain which really could've helped tbh

[exotic tinsel]

I KNOW

[pseudo wing]

I have major drag reduction set for Baku but not feeling optimistic atm

[exotic tinsel]

I was in first place in the second worst car on the grid with Verstappen ramming my rain light into oblivion all race

engine blows three laps before the end

[pseudo wing]

bruhhhh

myteam is brutal sometimes

All in one race

(im sure the fans loved the last one)

[visual schooner]

wtaf

[exotic tinsel]

So me being a cool and level headed individual with a blown engine and Verstappen two car lengths behind me, I came to a safe and perfectly legal stop on the middle of the track, causing a pile up from the train my slow ass was creating

[pseudo wing]

beautiful

[exotic tinsel]

Bottas won the race from 12th

[visual schooner]

BOTH AM?

DANG

[hard maple]

yes

[exotic tinsel]

I shit you not, the first ten cars were within 12 seconds of eachother

[pseudo wing]

goattas

[exotic tinsel]

because I was holding them up

[visual schooner]

that hurts

[snow zenith]

I love this game, the car is dead

[visual schooner]

im playing am rn

[hard maple]

Im playing williams

[snow zenith]

There’s no way of getting low under steer and low oversteer

[visual schooner]

so seeing both crashing hurts

[hard maple]

i would have done williams even if they were ferrari fast

Kinda a personal thing

[visual schooner]

my happiest achievement in f1 manager

[exotic tinsel]

I'm gonna play Williams when I get on tomorrow

[visual schooner]

i will flex that 100 any day

[hard maple]

One of my late relatives used to live near Frank

[exotic tinsel]

Alfa is stupid OP

[visual schooner]

x100

[exotic tinsel]

McLaren and Williams seem like the hardest challenges

Mcl because they want 4th in the 2nd worst car

Williams because they want anything in the very worst car

[hard maple]

Williams isnt that hard#

you just have to wait a bit

[exotic tinsel]

probably

[hard maple]

you have amr to keep you company until you do any upgradesx

[exotic tinsel]

gross

ill play mclaren

[hard maple]

I am planning on stealing bottas

in replace of 🐐

[exotic tinsel]

ill play mclaren and ditch both drivers for piastri and zhou

[hard maple]

I will break his contract by promising him a lifetime suply of nutella

[exotic tinsel]

become the ultimate asia-oceania team

[visual schooner]

that man cost me 20 million pffft

[hard maple]

pfft

[visual schooner]

didnt bottas start from williams too

[hard maple]

yeah

[visual schooner]

full circle

[hard maple]

So williams is kinda "home team" ig

[exotic tinsel]

that was the good looking williams too

The Martini Williams before the ugly Sofina car

[visual schooner]

martini williams looked nice imo

might just be me

[exotic tinsel]

thank god Dorilton Ventures has good taste in blue

[hard maple]

I quite like the new blue

[visual schooner]

yeah the design for 2022 is nice too

[hard maple]

However

[exotic tinsel]

because the Sofina Williams of 2020 and 2021 was really bad

[hard maple]

2021 wasnt too bad

[exotic tinsel]

ehhhhh

[hard maple]

the car just didnt suit it

[visual schooner]

ocon crashed and dnf for brazil and abu dhabi

rip alpine expenses

[exotic tinsel]

it was okay ig

[hard maple]

dejavu

[exotic tinsel]

it had like, what, four different shades of blue on it?

and then also orange and white

[visual schooner]

MAX CRASHED

OH MY

[exotic tinsel]

yeah "Crashstappen" is very real in this game

[visual schooner]

he's now 17th and gaining

[hard maple]

LOL

[visual schooner]

im scared

[hard maple]

HE SPUN INFRONT OF LEWIS

[exotic tinsel]

on god I've had Max spin or crash in almost every race

[visual schooner]

no way

wtf

[exotic tinsel]

meanwhile Ferrari have a 140 point lead

[visual schooner]

HE CAME BACK

NO

[hard maple]

george

[exotic tinsel]

because Checo is fucking awful and max took spinning lessons from mazepin

[visual schooner]

nvm he pitted

[hard maple]

GEORGEEE

the crashes on this game are funny

[exotic tinsel]

fr

they ram into a barrier at like 190mph

lose half a front wing

no deformation of the body or barrier

[visual schooner]

the most iconic crash ive seen so far in this game is vettel into castle in baku

[hard maple]

tbh you can tell when

[visual schooner]

deja vu into charles leclerc "I'm stupid"

[snow zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/back-up-terry-put-it-in-reverse-terry-gif-12085130

[hard maple]

you can tell when a car is gonna crash because it goes into an animation

[exotic tinsel]

mine was when vettel spun out at the last complex of corners in austria and hamilton rammed into him at full speed

[hard maple]

last time in singapore

[exotic tinsel]

hamilton went into the pit lane and vettel spun so fast he probably died of g-force poisoning

[hard maple]

albon spun on the last lap

[visual schooner]

top 4 drivers who crash often in f1 manager

1. Latifi
2. Stroll
3. Russell
4. Vettel

[exotic tinsel]

vettel tsunoda latifi stroll

[visual schooner]

[exotic tinsel]

damn almost the same as mine

[hard maple]

"sainz crashed"

[exotic tinsel]

russell has been pretty clean for me

[visual schooner]

wait no

5. ocon

sounds abt right

[exotic tinsel]

ocon too

[hard maple]

ALIENS EXIST

[exotic tinsel]

what am i looking at

[hard maple]

there is no tyres

[visual schooner]

BOTH OF THE HAAS JUST CRASHED

[hard maple]

Also

wrong side of the track

[exotic tinsel]

oh yeah I thought they looked a little small

[visual schooner]

2ND SAFETY CAR OF ABU DHABI

[exotic tinsel]

wait yeah the map is completely wrong

that looks like the hairpin

[visual schooner]

P5 AND P8 BABY

WHAT A WAY TO END THE YEAR

[exotic tinsel]

speaking of safety cars at abu dhabi, why doesnt the safety car let lapped cars pass?

[visual schooner]

my crappy am car is not so crappy after all

[exotic tinsel]

I had like seven cars in front of me when I was P4 at Imola

[visual schooner]

dunno

[exotic tinsel]

they got out of the way pretty fast because blue flags and all but that still creates a gap between me and P3 for no reason

[visual schooner]

I BEAT ALFA ROMEO IN THE CONSTRUCTOR'S

BY 2

108 to 106 pffft

[exotic tinsel]

thats an accomplishment considering how overpowered that car is and how shit the mclaren is by default

[visual schooner]

im in am

[exotic tinsel]

oh yeah

[visual schooner]

lmfaooo

[exotic tinsel]

thats not as much of an accomplishment because you have stroll money

[visual schooner]

i love me some daddy's money

[exotic tinsel]

mclaren starts with less money and has a worse car

[visual schooner]

nah am way worse

[lyric scaffold]

I have minor gear box wear

How do I change that

[visual schooner]

am accompanies williams from 17th to 20th every time

[snow zenith]

you love to see it

[exotic tinsel]

AM is 7th and has more money tho

[visual schooner]

if it's not race weekend

go to car

click on a car

look for gearbox

[lyric scaffold]

Ok

[visual schooner]

and change the gearbox

[lyric scaffold]

Thanks

[visual schooner]

sure

[visual schooner]

"7th"

[exotic tinsel]

you can change components before rounds too tho

[visual schooner]

ye

@exotic tinsel holy shit

[exotic tinsel]

what

[visual schooner]

what our expectations are

what we got:

https://tenor.com/view/charles-leclerc-leclerc-france-crash-nooooooo-gif-26428145

[exotic tinsel]

nah verstappen is a better driver, he'd be the one winning by three points even if the ferrari is faster all season

which uh, its not

i always knew max was gonna win unless the red bull continued to be unreliable

[visual schooner]

kek

[exotic tinsel]

what really surprised me is the Mercedes being so shit

if Ferrari can stop eating their own piss and drinking their own shit maybe we can have a six car battle for the championship next year

[lyric scaffold]

Getting Daniel a good setup is so much harder then Lando

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @lyric scaffold, you're now on lap 15

[exotic tinsel]

wow just like real life

[visual schooner]

lmao

[lyric scaffold]

108 points

Surely that’s not s1

[exotic tinsel]

"2022 Season Results"

[lyric scaffold]

Bros Jesus

[visual schooner]

season 1

[lyric scaffold]

How’s he getting 108 points with am

[visual schooner]

[exotic tinsel]

How am I getting 145 with Alfa

[visual schooner]

i upgrade

hire norris

[exotic tinsel]

and theres still ten races to go

[visual schooner]

and skrrrrrrt

[lyric scaffold]

Alfa is easy to

I’m doing rubbish

25 points after 4 races

[exotic tinsel]

Zhou is holding Alonso at gunpoint being only three points behind him all fucking season

yeah idk alfa is really easy

on paper it looks pretty hard

[exotic tinsel]

low budget team wants 5th in the constructors

[lyric scaffold]

That’s how many points I will score if I stay like this

[exotic tinsel]

im fucking 3rd rn

[lyric scaffold]

Jeez

[exotic tinsel]

by a long mile

[lyric scaffold]

I’m 5th

[exotic tinsel]

im gonna play mclaren

[lyric scaffold]

It’s fun.

[exotic tinsel]

mclaren sounds really fucking hard

[lyric scaffold]

@visual schooner is amazing at this game

He’s gonna do better w am then I will w McLaren

[visual schooner]

lmao

i just hired alonso lol

[hard maple]

did you replace stroll

[visual schooner]

yeah

10 yrs ago

[hard maple]

fired: not respecting dad

[lyric scaffold]

I’m not gonna get over 108 points w 2nd worst car

[lyric scaffold]

Miami r5 q3 for the first time

Get innnn

[exotic tinsel]

If I ever play AM which I won't I'm gonna do every thing in my power to win the WDC and the WCC with Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg

[visual schooner]

so team changes for me:

alonso and norris - am
vettel and ocon - alpine
bottas and albon - alfa romeo
stroll and zhou - alphatauri
latifi and magnussen - haas
ricciardo and gasly - mclaren
tsunoda and mick - williams

oh and piastri is now the reserve driver for mclaren

[exotic tinsel]

No, I'm not incredibly salty that Lawrence Stroll fired Perez for Vettel

[visual schooner]

i'd be

i'd drop stroll for perez any day

but daddy's money is daddy's money

[exotic tinsel]

dude I was so mad when I heard that Vettel was gonna replace Perez at the end of 2020 even though he had a contract until 2022

If it weren't for Checo, that team literally would not exist right now

[exotic tinsel]

dude I'd drop Vettel for Perez any day

I love Sebastian Vettel, I have ever since I first heard of him in 2012. He's the reason I ever even got into F1 in the first place

but that team fuckin belongs to Perez

He should be AM's number one driver who is fighting hard for podiums right now

[lyric scaffold]

My first season with AM I’m on my second season half way through in 3rd place Red Bull and Ferrari are too fast

[exotic tinsel]

but this screenshot is from the end of season one

[lyric scaffold]

That’s my first season results

[bitter finch]

thats a bad thing?

[sick pasture]

Funny thing is that Perez got his first win with Racing Point second to last GP in 2020

[bitter finch]

like not even a month after checo being told he isn't continuing with Racing Point/Aston Martin, he got linked to RB

[visual schooner]

niceee

[lyric scaffold]

My Second season

[exotic tinsel]

I mean I was of course delighted when I heard Perez was signed to RB for 2021 but I knew he wasn't gonna be winning a WDC with that team

[sick pasture]

Is F1 Manager good?

[exotic tinsel]

yes

[visual schooner]

very

[sick pasture]

Should I buy it over f1 22

[exotic tinsel]

It's really buggy but it technically doesn't release until uh.... later today

[visual schooner]

it depends

[exotic tinsel]

yes

[visual schooner]

if u wanna drive then get f1 22

[sick pasture]

I own F1 2021 already

and 2020

[visual schooner]

if u wanna just watch over teams and manage them then get f1 manager

[exotic tinsel]

you're not missing out then tbh

[visual schooner]

yeah

[humble pulsar]

Can anybody give me some tips for f1 22 please

[visual schooner]

get f1 manager

[lyric scaffold]

I hate ea so much

[sick pasture]

Aight I'll think about getting F1 Manager then thank you guys

[exotic tinsel]

The only thing you're getting is heavy slow F1 cars, a few super cars, Miami, and a customizable couch

vs 2021

[lyric scaffold]

Nobody cares about f1 life and nobody is gonna spend 2 bucks on a COUCH

[exotic tinsel]

LMAO

FR

[sick pasture]

Yeah you forgot the home designer part

😂

[lyric scaffold]

Like what are they thinking

[exotic tinsel]

FTFY

[visual schooner]

yes

f1 manager has no micro-transactions

at least right now

[exotic tinsel]

its not an EA game

[visual schooner]

yup made by frontier

[exotic tinsel]

and Motorsport Manager has only content DLCs

[visual schooner]

i wonder what content dlc this game will have

if ever

[exotic tinsel]

legacy drivers, perhaps a legacy career even

There's really nothing to monetize in a game like this

[lyric scaffold]

See like i get spending the pitcoin on a livery, but like a couch

[visual schooner]

force drivers out of retirement

[exotic tinsel]

Mario Andretti lmao

I'm gonna put Mario Andretti and Theo Pourchaire on Alfa Romeo

[visual schooner]

oh yk one thing i wish we could do

skip races

[exotic tinsel]

They're only like 63 years apart

[visual schooner]

like just choose a date to simulate to in the calendar

[exotic tinsel]

I also thought about that but then I thought "why not just have shortened calendars like in the F1 20xx games"

I do really wish that F1M would stop opening the fucking Oculus app every 15 minutes

[visual schooner]

lol

[exotic tinsel]

like I know my headset is plugged in but this game doesn't even support VR nor does it need to

hey look guys im playing a menu screen simulator IN VR

bruh

yeah this game will have mods within a month

Denuvo is about as easy to crack as a Wii

[keen brook]

It's finally there.🥳

[visual schooner]

Ok I’m restarting

This pts change is so stupid

[indigo totem]

Honestly that's great

Livery mods especially to add some variety

[visual schooner]

Imagine a mod that lets u add more teams

Yes to that

[vocal scroll]

This is gunna be a sick season finale with so many positions up for grabs

And this is my first season with no traction assists and i dont use flashbacks ~ explaining the dnfs
