f1-games

[odd talon]

weird

[fleet plank]

Who’s grayed out

[odd talon]

rain's starting but very light

won't get heavier for another few laps

[keen brook]

I'll say as soon as I know who joined.

Then I'll say all the driver transfers.

[fleet plank]

Keep a eye on George’s temperature

[odd talon]

yeah i'm micromanaging them both

lewis has 6 seconds on leclerc

[fleet plank]

Gap needs to come up by 2 at least

If possible

[odd talon]

he's putting around 3 tenths a lap on him

gaining on verstappen too but verstappen isnt pushing whatsoever

[fleet plank]

Has George said anything about inters

[odd talon]

nope

only 0.13mm

[fleet plank]

When DRS is disabled pit

If no one is on inters

[odd talon]

its gonna start picking up this lap according to the graph

[fleet plank]

Get ready for George

[odd talon]

0.26 now

[fleet plank]

Drs disabled

?

[odd talon]

not yet

[fleet plank]

Rain amount now?

[odd talon]

.47

russell just took p7 too which is nice i guess

[fleet plank]

Is it going up fast

[odd talon]

max also started pushing though

yeah its .55 now

[fleet plank]

Box this lap

[odd talon]

praying for a good stop

[keen brook]

I am stupid.

I forgot to change parts for quali.

[odd talon]

rippp

[fleet plank]

Lewis in next lap

[odd talon]

george had an issue with his stop

3.1s

not THAT bad

[keen brook]

Now I have a 80% combustion engine and a 82% MGU-H on the car.

[fleet plank]

Has drs been disabled

[odd talon]

not just yet

backmarkers boxing for inters though

max is coming in with lewis

2.1 seconds for lewis

nice

[fleet plank]

Where did Russell come out

[odd talon]

p8

[fleet plank]

Ahead of Lewis or still behind

[odd talon]

p7 now

behind lewis, lewis is P2

george undercut gasly

[fleet plank]

Damn wasn’t planning that

[odd talon]

george did start p20 to be fair

[fleet plank]

Laps remaining?

[odd talon]

21

[keen brook]

OK, now I know all the mid-season driver transfers.

[fleet plank]

Anyone still on slicks

[odd talon]

nah whole field is on inters now

[fleet plank]

Who is leading

[odd talon]

it's gonna stay this way til the end

VER-HAM-LEC

which is also the championship top 3 lmao

on the bright side lewis got fastest lap before the rain hit

[fleet plank]

Is the rain still increasing

[odd talon]

yeah its gonna go up to lap 30 but not enough for wets

then go down and stay around the same to the end

[keen brook]

So McLaren replaced Piastri with Alonso, Aston Martin replaced Alonso then with Ocon, Alpine replaced Ocon then with Sainz, Ferrari replaced Sainz then with Verstappen, Red Bull replaced Verstappen then with Hamilton, Mercedes replaced Hamilton then with Bottas and Alfa Romeo replaced Bottas then with de Vries. So de Vries joined F1 and Piastri left F1.

[odd talon]

safety car would be ideal for george to close this gap because hes currently 5s off sainz in p5 then the gap from p5 to p4 is 21 seconds

[fleet plank]

Someone Sbinalla

[odd talon]

hamilton at red bull is beyond cursed

[keen brook]

That's all mid-season.

Never had such crazy mid-season transfers.

[odd talon]

jeez

yeah max is too fast so P2 and P5 is the best we can get in this race i think barring a safety car

which is pretty good given lewis started P5 and george started P20

perez dnf definitely helped because it would 100% be a rb 1-2 if he didnt slam into alonso

[odd talon]

de vries aint in this grid

sadge

[graceful tundra]

Good danny ric is back

[fleet plank]

Rain still increasing?

[odd talon]

he is indeed

and nah the rain's stabilised now

hulkenberg has had such a stinker of a race btw, 3 lock ups and a spin

[fleet plank]

Any chance it will dry up

[odd talon]

he was running p5 for the first few laps too

nah its not drying

this yuki points finish is gonna hit like crazy if he can keep it up though

russell finally cleared gasly

now sainz hopefully

[fleet plank]

Gap to max

[odd talon]

4.3

he's too quick

i put lewis on full push for 2 laps to see if he could close it and he barely made a dent

george is within 1s of sainz now

no drs sadly

siuu he got past with 3 laps to go

and checkered flag

pretty good result all things considered

20 points ahead of ferrari in the constructors but lewis is 33 behind max in the drivers

[keen brook]

With Piastri leaving F1, the rivalry with Piastri ended without a winner.

[fleet temple]

close but albon has a way faster car

[odd talon]

verstappen 2 seconds up lap 3 in zandvoort, crazy

[keen brook]

So that's now the grid for the 2nd half of season 1:
Red Bull: Hamilton, Pérez
Ferrari: Verstappen, Leclerc
Mercedes: Bottas, Russell
Alpine: Sainz, Gasly
McLaren: Alonso, Norris
Alfa Romeo: Zhou, de Vries
Aston Martin: Stroll, Ocon
Haas: Magnussen, Hülkenberg
AlphaTauri: Vettel, Tsunoda
Williams: Albon, Sargeant
Free Agent: Piastri

[odd talon]

leclerc just took hamilton out

rip.

qualified p3 too

man

[keen brook]

Hungary race result of my Sebastian Vettel career

current championship standings

[odd talon]

zandvoort is crazy

[keen brook]

Ricciardo at AT like irl

[odd talon]

russell last lap overtake on perez

siuu

title charge is officially dead

just gotta beat ferrari and come back next year

[lyric scaffold]

Never back Down

Never what

[odd talon]

mclaren are finished

[keen brook]

Going into Spa, the packing order still hasn't changed.

[fleet temple]

Lawson on course for a podium in his second race

[mystic elk]

ok f1m 22 is crazy af, new save btw

[odd talon]

i'd say this is also pretty crazy

[fleet temple]

the goats in p5 and p6

[fleet temple]

The goats in p1 and 10

[odd talon]

ricciardo was running p6 until he spun out, rejoined the track and gasly ran into him 💀

[fleet temple]

classic gasly in my f1 23 career

[odd talon]

albon took george's front wing off earlier in the race and perez and alonso just had a bozo moment at the T1 chicane

[fleet temple]

crazy how alpine is the 3rd best car now

[odd talon]

i'm praying some backmarker team does an irl mclaren in this save next season

alpha tauri have actually jumped pretty high if yuki can get these points

got into Q3 on merit with both cars and ran top 10 the whole race

[fleet temple]

dangg

[mystic elk]

nvm sargeant spun

[odd talon]

if bottas can get p10 from logan then mclaren will be the only team without points this season

we're at monza btw 💀

[fleet temple]

Yuki aint so bad in my career aswell, last year he got p5/6 and 9

the year before he gpot p4

[fleet temple]

classic

[odd talon]

yeah yuki's great

ricciardo is pretty good in this years game too

[fleet temple]

Lando is really the unluckiest in my f1 23 save

he lost out on 5 wins now

[odd talon]

unluckiest in mine is probably alonso, got 2 poles and got crashed out of both of those races

and he's dnfed the past two because of perez both times

[fleet temple]

Lewis was so dumb in s1

[odd talon]

😭

[fleet temple]

I wouldve given him the championship

[odd talon]

i've gotta say bye to lewis in S2, bro just will not accept my contracts

[fleet temple]

but the game was glitching in s1

[odd talon]

i got leclerc on a pre contract instead

[fleet temple]

nice

[odd talon]

tried offering him upwards of like 35 mil per year and he still rejects it

george up to p8 with broken suspension, dude has been insane since the summer break

[keen brook]

Belgium Sprint (France race) result of my Sebastian Vettel career

[mystic elk]

does f1m23 has the drs train issue like 22?

[odd talon]

it's not AS bad

it's closer to what irl drs trains are like if anything

[mystic elk]

good then

[keen brook]

current championship standings

[odd talon]

championship might not be over just yet

huge from lando

huge gap in the drivers but not impossible? mclaren maybe aren't totally finished

every team has points except alfa romeo, good season

[mystic elk]

hows williams have 15 points

[odd talon]

albon is absolutely cracked

albon has 13 logan has 2

and logans 2 points came from the penalties in monza

heading into singapore lewis has a 52 point gap to make up in 8 races

got some upgrades coming in for suzuka and qatar to help him out, lets see

[fleet temple]

Dayum Pierre

[odd talon]

some real george its james vibes are gonna have to come into play moving forward

timed the lap perfectly to avoid the rain, championship top 2 start on the front row for the race after alonsos penalty

[odd talon]

VERY clutch pit crew

verstappen stays out on slicks in inter conditions, huge for us

finally pits and we've got a 9 second gap to him

[fleet temple]

Nyck and Yuki

ggs man

its bugged but yea

[odd talon]

+1 lap

championship gap as it stands would be down to 37 from 58

[wheat crypt]

anyone on f122 know how to get two player career to work

made on my friend can join but wont let me

[fleet temple]

its bugged, it was 13 secs

[odd talon]

average codemasters game

[fleet temple]

yea hahaha

but good for alpha, haas and williams

Huh

What the hell happened

[odd talon]

hamilton delivering yet another singapore masterclass

[fleet temple]

Max and carlos p2 and 3

[odd talon]

zhou bins it, thankfully no safety car

may be the first time in this career i've not wanted a SC/red flag

it ain't over

huge result for both championships

insane

this title fight is cooking bro

identical top 3 to singapore after penalties, perez is a fraud even in the game

[keen brook]

Belgium race result of my Sebastian Vettel career

current championship standings

Seb's new rival is Esteban Ocon.

[odd talon]

verstappen and perez stay out in rain again, hamilton 12s behind max on inters

comes out 7 ahead, ggs

[thick wave]

hi.

[odd talon]

heyo

this is huge 2021 vibes lmao

[vapid garnet]

I hate this game so much.

Lap 28/29 in Qatar, I did a two stop, about to overtake p1 and I get a failure and retire

[odd talon]

chipping away at the gap, 6 rounds to go

[vapid garnet]

Also, it was a new component

[odd talon]

VERY close top 6 at qatar

none of the top 6 really improved, leclerc P1 for the sprint

[stiff bridge]

lewis creeping up on max

[odd talon]

1-3 in the sprint but penalties mean its another lewis max front row

lewis keeps p1 on lap 1, siuu

[fleet temple]

upgrades not working

first run kinda bad

[odd talon]

russell doing a checo for lewis rn

[fleet temple]

W

second run

[odd talon]

this is the alternate reality where hamilton had a competent teammate in 2021

[fleet temple]

accidentally dnfed gasly

[odd talon]

very nice

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @odd talon, you're now on lap 15

[fleet temple]

w

[odd talon]

3 in a rowwww

george got sainz on the line for p3

[fleet temple]

W

[odd talon]

gap is closing very quickly

constructors is even getting tighter at the top

[fleet temple]

2021 vibes man

[odd talon]

massively

crazy to think this was the gap before monza

another sprint weekend, lets get it

verstappen's taking a new engine so i'll do the same with lewis

[fleet temple]

Yesss

[odd talon]

huuuge q3 for lewis

brother is on a tear

[fleet temple]

Cmonn

[odd talon]

think george got impeded in S1 but he was on pace for p4

[lyric scaffold]

Bro remembered what nick eh 30 said

[odd talon]

great sprint result, george gets pole after penalties

minister of defence once again

[vapid garnet]

[fleet temple]

Lawson (backmarker) crashing into me

[stiff bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-goat-black-guy-gif-17915341

[odd talon]

he's leaving at the end of the season which makes this even more tense

[stiff bridge]

[odd talon]

no clue, just wouldnt accept any contract i gave him

[stiff bridge]

damn

[odd talon]

got leclerc on a pre-contract as a replacement

leclerc russell lineup is gonna hit

[stiff bridge]

it's one of my better tracks somehow

[fleet temple]

My worst track besides china

[odd talon]

perez 😭

[fleet temple]

Damn

Perez out

[odd talon]

leclerc is 93 up on sainz too

lewis could take the lead at brazil

scenes

russell locks up and crashes out of Q3, great start

[arctic tartan]

I feel like they did better job in engine sounds in 22 than this year

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uJ1hvy0X80w

22 has much more life to it

more agressive

can they still tweak the sounds in 23?

or is it final

[odd talon]

they can probably patch in different sounds

doubt they would though

there'll be mods for it i'd bet

[stiff bridge]

oooo P6 in his first year

[fleet temple]

I use v8/10 mods

[arctic tartan]

where are these?

in workshop?

[stiff bridge]

what race is next

[odd talon]

currently brazil

[stiff bridge]

cmon hamilton

[odd talon]

brazil-vegas-abu dhabi i believe

[stiff bridge]

damn

[odd talon]

1-2 in the sprint

[fleet temple]

RaceDepartment

[arctic tartan]

what is racedepartment

[odd talon]

mercedes love a sprint race 1-2 around interlagos

it's a modding website for motorsport games

has the codemaster games, manager games, assetto corsa, etc

[stiff bridge]

george need to hold em up

[odd talon]

yeah i've been giving him major bottas treatment the past few races

[arctic tartan]

ah i found it... is it compatible with steam game tho?

[fleet temple]

Yea

[odd talon]

yeah it's compatible with steam

[arctic tartan]

do I need to download some app to run it?

[fleet temple]

Download the mods and copy into f1 folder

[fleet temple]

Nah

[odd talon]

nah, just download files from website and drag and drop usually

[arctic tartan]

ok nice

[fleet temple]

If you gotta do something it would be in the description of the mod

[odd talon]

racedepartment is goated

gives me all my f1 manager stuff

like the updated face packs because my god they did max and george dirty 😭

[fleet temple]

Yea

RaceDepartment 🔛🔝

[odd talon]

bro thinks he's rosberg

[fleet temple]

Spain is next in my career

I just hope no crash

[odd talon]

the double stack dreams are made of

[fleet temple]

W

[arctic tartan]

@fleet templewill the files overwrite the original ones?

so I better make a copy of the original

[odd talon]

another 1-2 at interlagos, siuuu

championship leader 💪

even the constructors seems possible now too

[odd talon]

when modding games i always generally advise to make backups yes

[arctic tartan]

I like the TV style HUD

[odd talon]

vegas looks dope

pretty tight at the top

where on earth has perez pulled that from then

[fleet temple]

ye

[fleet temple]

its the best

[arctic tartan]

where do I copy the TV HUD tho ... which folder?

[fleet temple]

you need simhub and Garyswallow

[steel current]

I wish I could do mods :(

[fleet temple]

you can do simhub on console if you got a laptop, doesnt have to be a good one

[steel current]

I don’t got a laptop :(

Although I should probably focus on trying to not get sacked

[true panther]

@muted kayak we do a little helping 👍

[keen brook]

lol

[stiff bridge]

max dnf hamilton win fastest lap = champion

[fleet temple]

yea

perfect ending

[keen brook]

Going into Zandvoort, Mercedes overtook Ferrari, Aston Martin overtook Ferrari and Alpine overtook Haas and Alfa Romeo.

[fleet temple]

still need help?

[arctic tartan]

Thanks i got it ;)

Tbh i dont like the V10 mod tho... just doesnt sound right... plus u are driving V6 car idk

2019 has the best V10 sounds

[keen brook]

Going into the qualifying, Seb needs his 2nd energy storage.

[fleet temple]

decent

[steel current]

3 races left, i just need Norris and Piastri to not blow my cars up and finish the races and I should keep my job

[lyric scaffold]

Yo I’m thinking of picking up the csl dd with drive hub for my ps5 does the drive hub give you the full performance of the wheelbase or not

[steel current]

Immediately after saying this, Norris crashes in Sprint races

[fleet temple]

[keen brook]

Netherlands (Germany) race result of my Sebastian Vettel career

current championship standings

[fleet temple]

perfect strat

stroll ruined it by attacking while he was on softs

[keen brook]

rivalry against Ocon now 6 to 1

Leclerc had an engine failure.

[fleet temple]

sc went for half a lap now i lost out on the win

sainz spun, slowing the whole grid down. Half the grid DSQ

[keen brook]

Going into Monza, Haas overtook Williams and Alpine.

[odd talon]

safety car, verstappen has fresh mediums and i don't. not looking good

[fleet plank]

WHERES Russell

[odd talon]

P6

literally stopped a lap before the SC

got absolutely shafted

[fleet plank]

Any soft tires?

[odd talon]

yeah they won't go to the end though

all used

[fleet plank]

Laps left

[odd talon]

21

[fleet plank]

What tire you on?

[odd talon]

i mean i could stretch them but i'd be vulnerable with tyre wear to the mediums

on hards rn

one stop around vegas

[fleet plank]

Yeah you better hope

[odd talon]

this championship is too tight for this man

abu dhabi all over again

[fleet plank]

Any good used sets of mediums

[odd talon]

nope

mediums have less life than the softs do lmao

[fleet plank]

Is this the 1st SC

[odd talon]

yeah

if there's another i can jump on softs easily

this timing just is awful

luckily verstappen is the only one with new mediums

[fleet plank]

is it too late to pit Russell

[odd talon]

everyone else is on hards with us

way too late

worst case scenario is P2 i guess

[fleet plank]

Is it back green?

[odd talon]

yeah

lewis nailed the restart luckily

[fleet plank]

Is max gaining?

[odd talon]

nah he reacted badly

perez is though

but he's on the same tyre

[fleet plank]

How was Russell’s start?

[odd talon]

great, got past sainz so he's P5

[fleet plank]

Who was the SC for

[odd talon]

leclerc

he binned it into a wall on his own

[keen brook]

Going into the qualifying Seb needs his 2nd MGU-K.

[fleet plank]

Laps left

[odd talon]

which isnt a good sign because he's my other driver next year lmao

17 left

drs on now

[fleet plank]

Wait what

[odd talon]

max is within 1s but perez is over 1s behind him

so max is my only threat

yeah lewis wouldnt accept any of my contracts so i had to just bite the bullet and go for someone else

so leclerc-russell for 2024

pretty sure lewis is just retiring but the game isnt telling me that

[fleet plank]

You play on pc?

[odd talon]

yeah

i don't wanna exploit it tbh

what happens happens

[fleet plank]

K

[odd talon]

plus if i win this championship he'll retire with 8

or go to ferrari which i'd also be okay with

[fleet plank]

When’s Russell’s contract up?

[odd talon]

end of 24

[fleet plank]

Same engineer’s?

[odd talon]

i got leclerc on 4 years so hes penned down for a while

bono got renewed too but russells engineer has to the end of 24 yeah

[fleet plank]

Who is the reserve driver

[odd talon]

mick but hes expiring too

debating just letting it expire and getting an F2 driver in

ANOTHER SAFETY CAR

okay now i can go on softs

[fleet plank]

for who

[odd talon]

oh red flag

even better

sargeant and magnussen

[fleet plank]

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

big crash?

[odd talon]

yeah logan spun and kmag went into the side of him

pretty crazy

track got blocked

[fleet plank]

Max is probably punching someone

[odd talon]

this is the order on the restart

big up ricciardo

[fleet plank]

Yet McLaren Last

[odd talon]

yeah theyre awful in this save

like 2 points all season maybe

only alfa romeo are worse with 1 point

[fleet plank]

Did max change tires

[odd talon]

14 lap sprint lets go

yeah all on softs

[fleet plank]

FFS

can Lewis hold max off

[odd talon]

pretty much just the sprint race again

lewis has like 6 wins in a row at this stage so yeah i think he can

red bull is crazy around here though its been a struggle all weekend

perez got pole by 3 tenths

ah shit perez got past

not good

[fleet plank]

Not good

[odd talon]

hes fighting max though

which is good

[fleet plank]

Plz crash

[odd talon]

cant lose my win streak here man

[fleet plank]

Is max in a different ZIP code now?

[odd talon]

nope

lewis just got past them both in one corner

huge

[fleet plank]

What about Russell

[odd talon]

p3

got past perez

he usually cant keep up with max

yeah lewis and max are a second up on perez already after one lap

so its between perez and george for P3

astons dont have much pace

[fleet plank]

How tight this the title battle

[odd talon]

1 point going into vegas

[fleet plank]

How many races left?

[odd talon]

just this and abu dhabi

[fleet plank]

Give mick FP1

Laps left

[odd talon]

last lap

i got them both full push on everything

[fleet plank]

Did Lewis get it?

[odd talon]

god this straight is SO LONG

he got it

george didnt get p3 sadly

[fleet plank]

https://tenor.com/view/fired-office-michael-scott-the-gif-22021313

[odd talon]

danny ric points though

siuuu

[fleet plank]

Get Norris into the merc next season

[odd talon]

standings going into AD

mclaren have more points than i thought nvm LMAO

[fleet plank]

Replace Russell with Norris

Get him out of the shit box

[odd talon]

i'll think about it

all 8 of those mclaren points are lando too

lmaoo

[fleet plank]

Even more reason why

[odd talon]

insane carry job

[fleet plank]

Russell’s time is at risk

[odd talon]

if russell does enough to win us the constructors he's safe in my book

[fleet plank]

Or is he

[odd talon]

he hasnt been awful tbh just unlucky

the only really bad moment he's had was brazil quali

other than that he's been solid

got my first win of the season too

and our first pole i think

[fleet plank]

Take a solid driver from mclaren they get one

[fleet plank]

You doing fp1

[odd talon]

i usually do fp1 then sim 2 and 3 yeah

swapped mick for russell mainly because lewis needs the track time way more

[fleet plank]

Is micks time’s good?

[odd talon]

only 3 tenths off lewis time

so not awful at all

sainz, perez, leclerc are taking grid penalties

[fleet plank]

Who’s fastest

[odd talon]

sainz topped FP1 and FP2 then perez FP3

i don't go for lap times in practice so it doesnt worry me too much

ferrari do look really quick though

[fleet plank]

Russell better make it to q3

[odd talon]

which could be an issue if they get in the way

i sim Q1 and Q2 so its all on him

ok yeah ferrari are fast

[fleet plank]

I know Lewis will make it

[odd talon]

VER LEC SAI top 3 in Q1

LEC VER HAM Q2

[fleet plank]

Russell?

[odd talon]

P5

under a tenth off perez

so he's got the pace

[fleet plank]

Who got pole

[odd talon]

i'm gonna do Q3 manually now

will post updates

[fleet plank]

Did lando make it

[odd talon]

nah p14

car is awful

[fleet plank]

GOD DAMN IT

[odd talon]

hulkenberg made it

hulk, ocon then the top 4 teams

pole looks like its between charles max and lewis

[fleet plank]

Russell do better

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @fleet plank, you're now on lap 20

[odd talon]

russell's starting his lap now

[fleet plank]

Is it any good so far

[odd talon]

around a tenth off lewis first sector

a tenth up on perez's first sector though

[fleet plank]

Oh

Is this a pole lap?

[odd talon]

nah hamiltons going purple

nvm leclerc purple S1

[fleet plank]

Spoke too soon

[odd talon]

honestly not much in sector 1 between charles and lewis

charles 18.141 lewis 18.155

[fleet plank]

Did Russell finish his lap

[odd talon]

yeah

23.683

waiting for others to finish

[fleet plank]

What’s that his only lap?

[odd talon]

ok he's 7 tenths off hamilton

he's going out for a 2nd run later

[fleet plank]

Jesus Christ

What position

[odd talon]

p2 so far but not many have finished

i THINK he got impeded in sector 2

hamilton's half a second faster than perez

[fleet plank]

Has lechair finished

[odd talon]

yep

0.080 faster than lewis

verstappen green S1

[fleet plank]

Is that a penalty for impeding

[odd talon]

slower than george and lewis

nah they dont have that in the games sadly

sainz p1 now

[fleet plank]

Is max slow

[odd talon]

jeez

[fleet plank]

What

[odd talon]

waiting on max to finish

[fleet plank]

Max destroyed everyone huh?

[odd talon]

surprisingly no

it's super close

[fleet plank]

RUSSELL P8?!

God

[odd talon]

yeah but he did get impeded i think

i don't think that's his actual lap time

his S1 was way too good for his S2 to be that bad

[fleet plank]

Who impeded him

[odd talon]

no clue

ocon i think?

[fleet plank]

Give me the baseball bat

[odd talon]

it was a blue dot i saw infront of him on the map but i assumed he had enough clear air

could've been a RB on an out lap tbh

alright last quali lap of the season

need russell to do his thing

[fleet plank]

And PUT A LION LAP IN

[odd talon]

they dont call him mr saturday for nothin

gonna try and burn a bunch of fuel on the out lap

might help

[fleet plank]

overfuel Ed

[odd talon]

yeah you cant choose how much

its just how many flying laps

the minimum is a bit too much fuel imo

[fleet plank]

Is he the first car out

[odd talon]

yeah

laps starting now

yellow S1 for russell

yikes

green for lewis

[fleet plank]

Not worried

[odd talon]

yellow mid sector for russell

he's a fraud

pole is gone i think

sainz is getting it

unless verstappen pulls a blinder

russell got outqualified by a haas

i wish i was joking

[fleet plank]

Really

Who got pole

[odd talon]

ferrari 1-2

but both have grid penalties

so max pole lewis 2nd

[fleet plank]

Lmao

OF COURSE ITS MAX

WHERES Russell

[odd talon]

P6

atrocious performance man

[fleet plank]

So he was originally p8

[odd talon]

we need the constructors and he does that 😭

one stop or two stop

hmm

[fleet plank]

Considering Norris now aren’t you?

[odd talon]

both have a fresh set of softs

honestly yeah

[fleet plank]

Save da Softs

Incase this turns into 2021

[odd talon]

i'm thinking one stop for both and hold out for a SC or something

yeah exactly

medium hard strat

[fleet plank]

Tell Russell his job is on the line

[odd talon]

bros getting outqualified by nico hulkenberg in a haas

outrageous

[fleet plank]

Is he done at Mercedes after this race

[odd talon]

alonso on softs

everyone else mediums

ehh if he gets a podium or does some god tier defending for lewis i'll think about it

but as it stands yeah he's done

if i have the money to get lando because i blew a lot on leclerc and renewals LMAO

[fleet plank]

Get mazepin then

[odd talon]

alonso's jumped lewis and max already

el plan

[fleet plank]

*pain

[odd talon]

he's behind stroll in the standings in this save 😭

[fleet plank]

Did Russell have a good lap 1

[odd talon]

he's had like 5 dnfs to be fair to him

yeah russells up to P5

lewis P3 max P2 alonso P1

[fleet plank]

ONLY 1 SPOT?!

[odd talon]

he's trying to fight lewis

team orders here i come

[fleet plank]

Watch him ignore them

[odd talon]

he let him by

george it's james

[fleet plank]

Wait James is at Williams

George it’s toto

[odd talon]

max and alonso fighting is very good for me

sitting back saving tyres

fat undercut later

ez

[fleet plank]

Is Russell getting pissed

[odd talon]

nah he's chilling

stroll is 5 secs behind him

he's not losing much really

[fleet plank]

Is this enough for constructors

[odd talon]

as it stands yeah perez is p8

need me that prize money

[fleet plank]

For Norris

And beer

[odd talon]

oh shit hamilton got past max and alonso while they were fighting

[fleet plank]

And JAMON

[odd talon]

full push i guess

[fleet plank]

Did Russell follow Lewis

[odd talon]

this is how things stand

[fleet plank]

Any rain forecasted

?

[fleet plank]

Is Russell chilling

[keen brook]

Italy race result of my Sebastian Vettel career

current championship standings

[odd talon]

p4 and closing in on alonso

alonso's suffering some tyre deg on the softs

great aston martin strategy

lewis has a second gap to max behind

and george just passed nando

[fleet plank]

Is Lewis in a different zip code

[odd talon]

1.6s ahead so pretty much

[fleet plank]

Give him a Red Bull

[odd talon]

perez p7 now

but he's got leclerc and sainz ahead

[fleet plank]

Didn’t mean like that

[odd talon]

max is starting to push again now george is closing in

and lewis and max are gone lmao

p3 is the best hope for george i think

verstappen boxing so lewis is coming in too

built a 5 sec gap to GR to double stack

perfect

lewis out ahead of max

of course a VSC comes out a lap after we pit

ocon did a latifi

[fleet plank]

For who

[odd talon]

exact same corner lmao

[fleet plank]

Did that screw you

[odd talon]

not at all

max boxed first i just reacted to him

it benefited leclerc a bit thats it

nothing that impacts our race though

the only threat to us is alonso and maybe perez if he can make up that gap

if lewis finishes P2 i think he'd win on countback

[fleet plank]

Is Perez moving

[odd talon]

he's stuck in P7

17 seconds behind sainz

i think we're safe

lewis and max can't build gaps to eachother at all though

both ferraris boxing

for some reason

max boxing

ok here we go

gotta react to it

not making the same mistake merc made irl

NO

GOD DAMNIT

[fleet plank]

What

[odd talon]

slow stop for lewis

5.9 seconds

max jumped him

nevermind he got past

2 tenths

both on fresh softs

gap could've been a few seconds if the stop wasn't delayed

[fleet plank]

Did you stack?

[odd talon]

yeah

russell fastest lap

[fleet plank]

Did it fuck Russell?

[odd talon]

not at all

gap was 14 seconds

[fleet plank]

Will Lewis win it?

[odd talon]

this is how we're looking

[fleet plank]

Norris in 10th

[odd talon]

yeah he's working miracles

[keen brook]

Gasly had an engine failure.

[odd talon]

russell is really moving though

where was this in quali bro 😭

[fleet plank]

PIERRRRREEE GAAAAAAASSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[odd talon]

max stole my fastest lap

smh

perez took it from him LOOL

[fleet plank]

lmao

[odd talon]

10 laps to go

1 second gap

[keen brook]

And then Leclerc and Pérez came together, damaging Leclerc's front wing.

rivalry against Ocon now 13 to 4

[fleet plank]

Gonna be Hungary 2019 all over again

[odd talon]

russell took p4

could maybe get p3 if he keeps this pace

2 second gap now, max is saving tyres 100%

[fleet plank]

Save yours

[odd talon]

yeah i'm following what he's doing

russell is just on full push though i need him to get this podium

[fleet plank]

If he doesn’t he’s gone

[odd talon]

he's caught charles

future teammates fighting for the final podium spot

poetic

[fleet plank]

https://tenor.com/view/charles-leclerc-leclerc-charles-costume-banana-gif-19738823

[odd talon]

5 laps to go

[fleet plank]

Leclerc Must be eating s banana

[odd talon]

3 to go

lewis is holding the gap well

final lap

full push

[fleet plank]

BRING IT HOME

[odd talon]

HE'S DONE IT

[primal drift]

GET IN THERE LEWIS

[fleet plank]

AHHHHHHH YEEEEAAHHH YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!

GET THAT FLAG BOYS YEAH!

[odd talon]

the comeback of dreams

[fleet plank]

https://tenor.com/view/lewis-hamilton-bahrain-gp-celebration-win-grand-prix-gif-25443506

[odd talon]

we did it by 3 points

[fleet plank]

Is Russell staying?

[odd talon]

yeah he did good

didnt get the podium but charles went crazy on the last lap

[fleet plank]

https://tenor.com/view/george-my-beloved-george-russell-russell-gif-22872085

[odd talon]

hoping he does better next year

next to charles too

good young pairing imo

[fleet plank]

Bring lando as a Reserve

[lyric scaffold]

The definition of never back Down never what

😯😯😯😯

[odd talon]

wholesome

[fleet plank]

Do lando as a 3rd Driver

[odd talon]

he's too good to be a reserve

i wanna see what mclaren do next year

[fleet plank]

He will do anything to be out of that shitbox

[odd talon]

AI development is way improved in this years game so i wanna see how it changes year to year

daruvala won f2 if anyone cares for F2

iwasa 2nd pourchaire 3rd

[fleet plank]

F3?

[odd talon]

prema dominance i guess

[keen brook]

Aron and Beganovic 1st and 2nd as rookies and their teammate O'Sullivan in his 2nd season is not even in the top 10.

Bortoleto only 5th

[fleet plank]

F4

[odd talon]

o'sullivan is 13th

there is no F4 sadly

[keen brook]

There's no F4.

[fleet plank]

F5?

[odd talon]

sophia floersch 9 points

goat

[keen brook]

nice

What about Goethe?

[odd talon]

14th

58 points, 1 podium

[primal drift]

I wish Codemasters would include F3 😭

[keen brook]

yeah

[fleet plank]

Did Norris stay at mclaren

[odd talon]

i was saying earlier it'd be cool for them to implement F3 into driver career

i havent got to driver changes yet, getting spammed with 500 emails every time i continue

[fleet plank]

You’ve got mail

[odd talon]

we got 2nd in the dhl fastest pit stop championship

i got 10.5 mil for that

that's outrageous

now do i renew mick

or get an F2 driver

[keen brook]

You're at Mercedes, so I would say get Vesti.

[odd talon]

was thinking that

he's only 73 overall so i dont see him getting a race seat anywhere anyway

[fleet plank]

Do tatina

[keen brook]

I doubt she's in the game, she isn't in the 23 grid.

[odd talon]

yeah she's not

only female driver ingame is sophia

[fleet plank]

Sophia

[keen brook]

yeah

[fleet plank]

Do her

[odd talon]

she needs to do another season in F3 i think

the rules are weird

[fleet plank]

Just try

[odd talon]

her contract button was greyed out

vesti it is

[fleet plank]

Watch vesti say fuck off

[odd talon]

he accepted thankfully

man i wish there was a silver livery mod

i loved the w13

[fleet plank]

Any driver swaps

[keen brook]

Because of the super license they made in the game that a driver must be 18 years old and must do 2 seasons in F2 and/or F3.

[fleet plank]

Sophia is 18

[keen brook]

Actually she matches the requirements.

[odd talon]

wonder why it was greyed out then

[keen brook]

Maybe the current season doesn't count as finished already.

[fleet plank]

Any driver swaps

[keen brook]

I think in last years game you had to wait until the 1st December.

[odd talon]

not many but

uh

[fleet plank]

Lewis went to Ferrari huh?

[odd talon]

not lewis

just wait for this screenshot LMAO

[fleet plank]

Oh god

[fleet plank]

…

[odd talon]

😭

[fleet plank]

The fuck….

[odd talon]

the alpha tauri lineup, i kid you not,

is daniel ricciardo and nyck de vries

[thin python]

nice

[fleet plank]

You are joking

[thin python]

yuki wdc i beg

[odd talon]

williams dropped sargeant for zhou

mick replaced zhou at alfa romeo

[keen brook]

The AT line-up is next level sarcasm from the game.

[lyric scaffold]

anyone know why i cant turn on safety cars?

[odd talon]

yeah lewis retired

F

[keen brook]

What is the race length set on?

[lyric scaffold]

50

[shadow turtle]

If damage Is on and if it's 25% or higher no clue

[odd talon]

perez and piastri somehow retain their seats after those absolute stinkers of a season they both had

[fleet plank]

Any more swaps?

[odd talon]

not in F1 no

[fleet plank]

https://tenor.com/view/boooooo-this-guy-stinks-serious-spongebob-squarepants-gif-11981386

[odd talon]

there's reserve swaps actually

[fleet plank]

Oh god

[odd talon]

palou at williams
doohan at alfa romeo
iwasa at haas
verschoor at alpine
pourchaire at mclaren

somehow daruvala, the f2 champion, is nowhere to be seen

this lineup goes kinda hard though

[keen brook]

Probably retired because of not getting a F1 seat.

[keen brook]

nice

[fleet plank]

Russell is 1st driver?!

[odd talon]

yeah he's 1st driver irl too 'technically'

[keen brook]

He is from the get go.

[odd talon]

because hamilton wants the yellow T-cam to match his helmet and stuff

[fleet plank]

🔫 GIVE #1 to Leclerc

[keen brook]

yeah

Well, to be correct George is in car 1, not 1st driver.

[odd talon]

yup

i don't have 1st drivers i'll just let them race until one of them is clearly ahead

[keen brook]

And that's also the case irl.

Like Oscar isn't the 1st driver at McLaren either.

[vapid garnet]

Wait what? The f1 manager/f1 23 game was so good they made it into a real life competition? Amazing!

[odd talon]

video game better

yuki tsunoda is at ferrari

[keen brook]

Tbh that's things I like to see.

[odd talon]

it's not even unrealistic in terms of the game universe because he was really good in S1

[keen brook]

Crazy stuff which would never happen irl.

[odd talon]

like being at ferrari i guess is iffy but if he got a RB seat i wouldnt bat an eye at it

dude was great in that AT

i do need to see who has the best car on paper though

probably RB

RED BULL ARE THE 5TH BEST CAR?? 😭

aston martin are 1st in every single department

el plan is in full swing

[shadow turtle]

Where's Ferrari at then

[odd talon]

3rd

[shadow turtle]

Not bad

What's the lineup

[odd talon]

tsunoda/sainz

[keen brook]

I guess you're 2nd with Merc then?

[odd talon]

😭

[shadow turtle]

What💀💀

[odd talon]

yeah we look pretty good

dumped a lot into research after spa

i'm ready for this yuki tsunoda vs fernando alonso title fight

ok drugovich is the RB reserve

what on earth

[keen brook]

Who's then Aston reserve?

[shadow turtle]

It's just so random

[keen brook]

Yuki in the Ferrari suit looks somewhat funny.

[shadow turtle]

Like I can't imagine it

[odd talon]

aston reserve is hauger

interesting

that could cook

get stroll out IMMEDIATELY

[keen brook]

Half the F2 grid are now reserves in F1.

[odd talon]

pretty much

F3 is full of regens now

F2 prema lineup is brad benavides/leonardo fornaroli

[keen brook]

That sounds now pretty much like last years game.

Benavides in a Prema?

How has he bought into there?

[odd talon]

o'sullivan is at VAR in f2

[dim kite]

@odd talon how do you like open the db editor and stuff

[keen brook]

Is there something like an overview of the F2 grid?

[odd talon]

if you've downloaded python and uhhh the other thing in the readme you just drag that folder into your savedgames folder and then double click run.vbs

[keen brook]

Would be interested how the F2 and F3 grids look like.

[odd talon]

there's not one overview no i've just gotta look through standings or the emails they send

oh wait i just progressed and there is in fact an overview email

a terribly formatted one though

here's f2

i have no clue how hauger is a reserve and an f2 driver so i'm gonna say its a bug and move on with my life

here's f3

[dim kite]

not sure if i did it right

like its in the saved games files

but the only other file is steam.autocloud.vdf
