[fading plover]

Yh

[floral apex]

i'll be trying out a two stopper
which should make it interesting

this is just cursed

Tsunoda made easy work of Hulkenberg in turn 1

Tsunoda gets past Ocon for the lead

[red wadi]

W

[floral apex]

TSU P4, LEC P5 after Brazil

the Williams finished 6th and 10th

bringing back the red white and blue livery for Las Vegas

[mint token]

I got one like this but the opposite. It increased the amount of all components by 1

Only 2 teams voted against it

They reduced the cost cap though sadly

[bold wave]

When you run out of fuel on the line

[dry berry]

Hey I am having a problem with my f1 manager 23

All my gearvoxes are in bad state but I still can't buy a New one because the game says that I have gearboxes with no use

If someone knows what to do here it would be great

[floral apex]

why is there a gap between 4 and 9

[dry berry]

Where?

Oh

Idk

Oh fuck I feel so embarrased

There was another gearbox

At the bottom

[dry berry]

That Will continue being a mistery

I raced Qatar with a bad gearbox in bottas' car

[floral apex]

i think i know the gap in numbers actually

you have gearboxes #1 to #4 in taht car, and #5 to #8 are in the second car

[dry berry]

Oh

I actually hate the fact that in this part of the season every piece of the cars seems to be dying

[floral apex]

i put my drivers on full conserve in practice sessions and it seems to be working
i got to around round 17-18 before needing to purchase new engine components

[bold wave]

is F1 manager worth it? and is it worth buying 24 over an older one?

[floral apex]

yes

24 has the create a team mode and stuff

[bold wave]

ah

oh and it's only £30

[floral apex]

much cheaper than the codies games and even last year's manager

[bold wave]

yeaa

I can save up for that in like 2 weeks

as opposed to...

[floral apex]

this is my special america livery design

[bold wave]

Why is the game "Mixed"?

[floral apex]

there are people that were mad about some bugs that were patched within the first week of release

[bold wave]

oh

Well I'm going away for a week, might buy it around then, when F1 comes back from the break

[floral apex]

i still don't know why this game has better traffic lights than the codemasters games

[bold wave]

How's the commentary in the game?

As bad as fifa games? (Or "EA FC")

[floral apex]

theres rarely any commentary during the races actually
but the lines are mostly generic lines

[bold wave]

The graphics look quite saturated

Mad that they're selling F1 manager 23 for more than F1 manager 24 still

[floral apex]

theres also the helicam which is a good alternative to cinematics and the full map view

[bold wave]

ooo

how did they bring it from 40GB to 18GB?

[floral apex]

thats a good question
it took like 10 minutes to downloa when i needed to wait overnight for f1 23

i like this career save because i can make checo jokes

[bold wave]

oops

Who got kicked off?

[floral apex]

in terms of driver transfers

like 80% of the grid

[bold wave]

LAWSON TO FERRARI?

ALONSO TO MERCEDES?

[floral apex]

its a bit messed up

[bold wave]

verstappen and sainz 🤣

Why do I still have the leclerc role

[floral apex]

good question

[bold wave]

much better

wait no

no no

MUUUUUCCHH better

[red wadi]

Turn it around haha

[floral apex]

oh
las vegas 2025 is apparently Leclerc's 150th race start

[bold wave]

?

[red wadi]

81 to 18

[bold wave]

oh

absolutely not

[red wadi]

Haha

[bold wave]

maybe when he wins a race

[red wadi]

Fair

[floral apex]

in my f1m24 career save red bull have been almost unstoppable
verstappen decided to dominate like its 2023 all over again

sainz locked up
well thats one red bull out of the way 🙂

we chillin

attempting to undercut everyone

after the first round of pit stops we're pretty much back to where we were

[coral ember]

Reviews are mixed

[floral apex]

if i get this right i can get leclerc his first win with the team

[coral ember]

There are bad ones and good ones

and hurry up

because the game is on a sale

the game isnt that good anyways

[floral apex]

crazy undercut coming maybe?

[cedar barn]

Force India doing wonders

[floral apex]

verstappen too fast

[cedar barn]

season 4 with good affordability

will give you astronomical results

[floral apex]

we had a double podium and then suddenly lost it for a 3-5

[cedar barn]

my Lewis just went down a rating

after getting a podium

[bold wave]

No it's not...

I'm on about F1 MANAGER 24

I'm very unlikely to buy F1 24 (the racing one) since I basically never played F1 22 or F1 23 after about 2 months

[floral apex]

putting on a slight livery change for the final two races of the season
added a hint of silver to represent our P2 finish in the WCC

final upgrade of the season: car fast

[cedar barn]

mines near opposite to urs

got best top and high speed

and my drs effectiveness is 7th and 8th

[floral apex]

Tsunoda will recieve the upgrade after the Qatar GP

3 cars

LEC P2, TSU P3 after Qatar spritn quali

theres rain apparently

[floral apex]

LEC P2, TSU P3 after Qatat sprint
that was incredibly boring

[cedar barn]

well damn brav 😭😭

Lewis at 90% got 3rd Verstappen got pole by .3

bro literally flew around

[floral apex]

TSU P2, LEC P4 after Qatar main quali

Lets hope Leclerc's rear wing upgrade can do something

[floral apex]

TSU P2, LEC P3 after Qatar race

podium pictures

Red Bull have been a little bit dominant this season

who should i give FP1 time to in Abu Dhabi

[keen brook]

Kimi

if a 2nd driver as well then Abbi

[floral apex]

giving leclerc and tsunoda a well deserved break before the final race of the season

added a little bit of silver to my livery to celebrate our P2 finish in the championship

[floral apex]

I still dont know if i should change my lineup or retain what i have

https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/bwt-vcarb.71283/
i found BCARB

[frozen thunder]

guys is F1 24 okay to buy rn?

[floral apex]

TSU P2, LEC P3 after Abu Dhabi quali

[devout saffron]

💀

Rb19 aah car

[floral apex]

How funny is it that the two races Red Bull didnt win this season in my save were won by Yuki Tsunoda

CAN WE GET IT

I think we have it

the gap to Verstappen's gotten bigger

3 laps to go
8 seconds to Verstappen

i've instructed Tsunoda to stay back

CHARLES LECLERC WINS THE ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX

Tsunoda 2nd, Verstappen 3rd

I have finally gotten Leclerc a race win

oh and also Red Bull got 1000 points

lmao its THE email

[heavy shoal]

Pipe down Andrea

[floral apex]

yeah we only beat them by 142 points its not that bad

Kick Sauber doing Kick Sauber things in 2025...

and Aston Martin had porbably the biggest falling off in F1 history

TWO points

[heavy shoal]

🔥

[floral apex]

so there were no upgrades after the US GP except us who casually brought out a new rear wing in Qatar

what a way to close off a season with a 1-2

major technical changes for 2026

literally every part of the car's being reduced by 50%

well there goes fastest lap point

ah my favorite fashion company

[digital stirrup]

i think i have a pepsi shirt somewhere so
yes
they are a fashion brand

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @digital stirrup, you're now on lap 10

[digital stirrup]

alr

[floral apex]

fair

[random storm]

Huh

[floral apex]

how did everyone dnf lol

[random storm]

Imagine Spa 2021 but it wasn’t canceled

[quick cosmos]

Logan podium 🇺🇲🦅

[mint token]

Same and I'm worried because I still haven't finished the upgrades for 2025 and there is like 2 or 3 atr periods left

[rare robin]

they should widen the track..

lap 3:

red flag made rain move forward

sainz crashed...

[floral apex]

2026 livery

[rare robin]

VSC out with 5 laps to go

CMON

[floral apex]

leclerc with cooked tires lol

[rare robin]

survive pls..

2 laps left

lost p3..

WAIT LECLERC HAS A PUNCTURE

FINAL LAP

LET'S GO

staying out worked for us

top 8 in the sprint

[floral apex]

2026 race suits

yes we sponsored by pepsi now

Preliminary car performance looks good, we apparently have the fastest car
But pre season testing has not been done yet

[fossil vector]

fire

what logos mod do you use ?

how can i make their connection better

This is not the Miami Flag 🙏🙏 😭

[rare robin]

it is

[fossil vector]

wait wtf

i thought it was india

😭

[floral apex]

Just the first real sponsors mod

The one with qatar aiways and air france

There was an update that changed a few sponsors

[fossil vector]

ah i have that

ill update it

[floral apex]

Either by hiring an engineer that the driver has worked with before or by waiting for their affinity to improve i believe

[fossil vector]

i think ill have a 2021 situation in my carrer this year

i believe Piastri will win WDC but Red Bull gonna take constructor home

[floral apex]

thats a bit worrying

alright who wants to see the silly season i got in 2026t?

Correa rejoins the F1 grid replacing Perez at Haas
Sergio Perez moves to Ferrari replacing Liam Lawson
Liam Lawson moves to Mercedes replacing Alonso
and it appaers Alonso has retired from F1
all other teams remain unchanged

[random storm]

After 2 days of trying. I have found out what happens when you make the whole grid but you DNF in F1 23

(I know it took so long. Somehow it’s hard to DNF others and not yourself)

Conclusion. You still have to finish the race but that does mean you can free roam the track with nobody to worry about but your stupidity

Call me Lance Stroll😭

[floral apex]

well thats cursed

[floral apex]

okay lance stroll

the car performance is actually good even Leclerc is happy about it

the only changes to the driver lineups in my F1M24 save (2026):

[random storm]

How is Sarge doing with Haas?

[floral apex]

well he scored one point in 2025

[random storm]

At least he’s making points

And staying in F1

[floral apex]

you can decide for yourself

[random storm]

Jeez. 4 DNFs

[floral apex]

this is how my 2025 season went

Lawson got absolutely dominated by Hamilton
no wonder Ferrari fired him

and then they proceeded to hire Perez to replace him

i will just do a modified 2025 calendar for 2026

and then just mix up a few races in future seasons

editing the calendar and 14/24 races are wet lmaoo

i think ill turn that down

this will be interesting

what do yall think of my 2026 calendar

i just shifted around a few races

[lyric scaffold]

https://medal.tv/games/f1-22/clips/iphYBZnsvWL7wGMhB/spok?invite=cr-MSxNMkcsNjExOTMzNjAs i think this is a decent lap

[lyric scaffold]

Wait what you can change order of the calendar

[brazen nebula]

with database editor you can

just need to drag the different races around

[lyric scaffold]

Aha

[brazen nebula]

you could also delete races

[frozen thunder]

fuck

[brazen nebula]

icl those are some crazy entry speeds i was half expecting that

[fallen crater]

Bro why did you post all the lap

It wasn't necessary 😭

[frozen thunder]

cuz i can

[brazen nebula]

is a 1:30.380 decent at suzuka

on f1 24

[fallen crater]

yeah its quite good

[brazen nebula]

im still learning most tracks without the racing line

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Isack

terminal gearbox issue

gearbox failure for Isack

Isack out of FP1

[quartz pawn]

Fair?

[keen brook]

If there was no contact, then it was a legit defensive maneuver.

[quartz pawn]

And you might recognize my voice because my old account got hacked so i disabled it

[quartz pawn]

How about this?

[keen brook]

hard but fair

[quartz pawn]

I know it’s on edge

Legit on edge

[quartz pawn]

I can defend hard but fair

[keen brook]

Yeah, it's kinda elbows out but that's how racing is irl as well.

Goethe replaced Pérez in FP1 at Red Bull, Vesti replaced Russell in FP1 at Mercedes, Iwasa replaced Ricciardo in FP1 at RB, Schumacher replaced Hamilton in FP1 at Mercedes and Maini replaced Ocon in FP1 at Alpine.

[heavy shoal]

💀

[amber notch]

anybody want a cheeky bit of F1 23 career

I aspire to meet people who wanna play

and also lack the funds for F1 24

[floral apex]

so ive made it to 2026 in my f1m24 save

the silly season was not very crazy at all

biggest piece of news is probably Fernando Alonso leaving F1 again

[latent pewter]

What year is everyone in

[floral apex]

I juet started the 2026 season

[keen brook]

Spa 2024

[floral apex]

so in 2026:
Fernando Alonso is replaced by Liam Lawson
Liam Lawson is replaced by Sergio Perez
Sergio Perez is replaced by Juan Manuel Correa

thats all of the changes.

[latent pewter]

DAMN 2026

Your better than me

Wanna know what year I’m in

[floral apex]

what

[latent pewter]

2030

[cedar barn]

correa been in my save since 2025

[surreal cobalt]

I renember how op bottas was in f1 2020-2021

[young grove]

anybody here got f1 24 eu

[lyric scaffold]

Im buying it soon

[mortal scarab]

Honest question for people who play F1 manager games,do you try starting with a backmarker team or always with a midfielder?

[latent pewter]

Can someone give me a good team name cuz I lost my Lamborghini save and it wouldn’t let me save it cuz of an issue idk

And now I have to restart everything

[floral apex]

we might be a bit fast this season

[thorn hollow]

Haven't get to 2026 yet in F1 Manager 2024

Both Career Mode in 3 in a Row

[floral apex]

my 2026 car

ngl it wouldve been funny if frontier actually added the 2026 chassis to the game but that might be a bit challenging to do

the grid for 2026
just ignore the FP1 stand ins

[lyric scaffold]

we got alpine haas mod in f1 24 before gta 6

[heavy shoal]

tf

[floral apex]

i saw a BWT VCARB mod for F1 Manager lmao

i'll let you judge for yourself

[lyric scaffold]

this one is horrible

the haas one is pretty decent, but tbh probably because its basically alpine

[floral apex]

my PC couldnt handle the power of other teams sponsored by BWT cuz it almost crashed

[red wadi]

It would turn to water

[cedar barn]

oh uh..

[floral apex]

2026 gon be crazy
Sargeant in Q3
Ricciardo in Q3
Zhou in Q3
Sainz out in Q2

Q3 red flagged

Zhou crashed out

TSU P1, LEC P2 after Australia quali

strategi

VSC deployed

mate's on fire

OH HE HAD A PUNCTURE AS WELL

VSC again
Bottas crashed in the same place as Correa

LEC P1, TSU P2 after Australia GP
this is a bit concerning

Lawson leaves Ferrari for Mercedes and promptly finishes 20th

[thorn hollow]

Dang, That's a Bummer

[floral apex]

what are they on lmao
its literally a 1-2

I really like how the garages move based on the last year's constructor's championship results

i'm okay with becoming a dominant force because like all dominant forces in F1, we're bound to fall at some point

a guy with no podiums vs 7-time race winner

imagine if i get Leclerc a WDC

ads in the 2024 japanese gp be like

100% setup satisfaction on both LEC and TSU

so Perez decided he wanted to be slow for one year

apparently VCARB became fast
this is the second Q3 they've been in this season

TSU P1, LEC P2 after Suzuka quali

race start okay
VSC deployed

Ocon almost camouflages into the wall lol

[neon belfry]

f124 wont work for me

[floral apex]

what kind of error are you getting

[neon belfry]

it wont open, everytime i try to launch it it just brings me back to the ea app and ive cant find a solution

[floral apex]

odd

VSC deployed again, Magnussen crashes out

ok that was odd
Leclerc's race engineer relayed some information to but instead of giving him the correct information, he confused Perez for Leclerc

we're becoming the new red bull

TSU P1, LEC P2 after Japan

Tsunoda wins his home grand prix

Correa just shouldn't be in F1

potential championship battle?

[neon belfry]

it wont open, everytime i try to launch it it just brings me back to the ea app and ive cant find a solution

[devout saffron]

Please do 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[floral apex]

apparently the game failed to load my team name

[floral apex]

Will try

[devout saffron]

Sabatoge yuki

[floral apex]

looks like its gonna be a wet sprint in China

we've only been a team for 3 years and we're about to become champions

mainly cuz i started as a well funded midfield team

[frozen thunder]

just my luck

[floral apex]

The bollard at the start lmao

[frozen thunder]

i genuinely hate turn 13

i have to brake just before the curve of the curb

any early i hit the bollard

any late i mutter ‘shit’ and pull a checo

[floral apex]

well that was an interesting SQ3

TSU P3, LEC P5 after China sprint quali

[ebon wave]

F1 24 AI are so broken in the last two laps they use all of their ERS making them super easy to overtake

I literally got pole position with a Williams on a hard difficulty with zero upgrades …

Makes 0 sense lmfao

[ebon wave]

Yeah no, AI are lame lmao

[prisma kayak]

Why didn't you guys say F1 Manager 24 is a digital release

I have been trying to find a physical copy for weeks

[ebon wave]

My man Manager has been digital since its first hit

[floral apex]

this new Haas lineup is absolutely stellar

okay well thats even funnier

i had to restart the sprint to a UI bug

and on my 2nd attempt, both Haas cars crashed into each other and caused a SC

Logan Sargeant smashed into the back of Correa

Sargeant recieves a 5 second penalty

[ebon wave]

Honestly, I’m confused when I first start playing the game Max Verstappen was winning every race now Norris and piastri are winning… it’s the game knows or I’m missing something

[floral apex]

Verstappen just won almost everything in my first two seasons lol

[ebon wave]

He hardly breaks the top five for me anymore

[floral apex]

heres the top 10 in my first two seasons

2024 race winners: VER (17), PER (3), SAI (1), PIA (1), NOR (2)
2025 race winners: VER (16), SAI (5), TSU (2), LEC (1)

[floral apex]

what season you in now

[ebon wave]

Still 1, when they rebalanced the controls in the big patch, I just decided to restart my driver career. My team broke and leaves my icon with a black dot instead so everything graph wise is black and I can’t see it. So I’m probably gonna restart that too :c

[floral apex]

wait are you f1 manager or f1 24

LEC P1, TSU P2 after China sprint

[rare robin]

max is winning a lot

[floral apex]

i managed to dethrone red bull in my save

but now we're the new red bull

[rare robin]

oo secret insight

into red bull's parts

[floral apex]

bruh lewis

nobody got to set a lap time and lewis just spun it into the wall

[rare robin]

every AI has 5 of these 2

how many do they need

[floral apex]

a sauber made it to q3 lol

[rare robin]

same in miami

[floral apex]

LEC P1, TSU P2 after China quali... and the sprint as well anyway

[rare robin]

rain changed things so much

8 teams in Q3

[rare robin]

you can edit things past 100%

[floral apex]

red bull in 2023 in a nutsehll:

[rare robin]

let me check what would that look like

[floral apex]

did you at least make a backup save from before you did that

[rare robin]

i have a copy

don't worry

[floral apex]

man i love sprint weekends

we have no hards to use in the race

[rare robin]

oh same thing happened to me in austria

4 stints were needed

[floral apex]

thats why when im making my calendars i try to make every sprint weekend wet

time for the 2026 chinese gp

lap 2: VSC deployed

Ocon went into a wall

lap 7: VSC again

now its Correa in the wall

[rare robin]

what will the game think of this?

time to find out

[floral apex]

ah yes 22,000

at this point Red Bull's just using X2010s lmao

[rare robin]

lol

[floral apex]

i assume you're simming through races

huge crash, Hamilton and Albon came togethre

both cars are still in the race albeit with some major damage

Albon recieves a penalty for that incident

[rare robin]

hmm the game does not want it to go further

[floral apex]

Leclerc dominance could bore fans

[floral apex]

yeah that seems to be the absolute limit

[rare robin]

alright i'll test it in silverstone

[floral apex]

it is a very wet race here in China

[rare robin]

after simulating FP1

what

[floral apex]

i think it broke

[rare robin]

i'll just manage FP2

see what happens

[floral apex]

i think for best results you should do qualifying and the race

[rare robin]

THAT'S A ROCKETSHIP

[floral apex]

PFFFFT

1:17?!?

[rare robin]

he's so quick everyone else is slowing him down

[floral apex]

for reference, Verstappen's pole time in 2023 was a 1:26.7

Russell's pole time in 2024 was a 1:25.8

[rare robin]

on the straights he's just flying

[floral apex]

ferrari strategy

for some reason Sainz and Lawson went on full wets when its clearly inters weather

my car seems pretty fast
Leclerc is just flying out there

i mean not 22000% performance Red Bull flying

but just flying

[rare robin]

1:15

still on mediums

a sauber holding up everyone else in stowe

[floral apex]

now skip to quali and see how crazy the lap times get

mates soaring

his gap is only growing

he isnt even pushing hard lmao

[rare robin]

still in FP2

[floral apex]

woah chill tf down charles

lets not talk about the gaps

didn't know that was an achievement

LEC P1, TSU P3 after China GP

Leclerc WDC on its way?

next race is Bahrain

standings after three races:

[rare robin]

both red bulls knocked out after simulating

it is broken i think

[floral apex]

simulating breaks it

[rare robin]

going back to Q1

oh it's raining

inter conditions

that's the time

ok with no impeding.. 1:17.9

engines..

i'll think about them later

it's only halfway

huh?

he finished the race P2

OH LOL

1 TYRE FOR THE WHOLE RACE

[alpine dune]

Okay, out of all the 2020s F1 games, I feel like F1 2020 and 2021 are the two that the AIs tends to make mistakes more than 22, 23 and now 24

Like, I've seen the AI spinning and crashing quite a lot during my times playing career modes in both 2020 and 2021. I haven't seen the AI making mistakes as much in 22, 23 and 24

[brazen nebula]

only mistakes i ever see from the ai in recent games is just locking up and even then they still make up for it in like 3 laps

[fallen crater]

In my career the ai always locks up on the last corner of the race while being p1

Happened twice in 4 races

[lyric scaffold]

i just looked at footage of f1 2020, am i tweaking or f1 2020 looks way better than f1 24

i start to kinda understand why people say f1 24 is bad lul

[strange anvil]

Perfect setup 🙂

[cedar barn]

had Ferrari but RBPT shoulda been the option instead

[cedar barn]

👏

[strange anvil]

👏

[mortal scarab]

Reliaility wise, Mercedes
Fuel wise, Renault
Power wise, Honda RBPT
All around, Ferrari or Renault

[quartz pawn]

THIS ASTON IS HORRENDOUS IN THE WET

[cedar barn]

eh from my side i got hella mechanical dnfs whilst having a ferrari engine

[mortal scarab]

Ferrari has best engine and ERS durability than Honda in the chart

[cedar barn]

yeah but i had more mechanical dnfs than both RBPT teams on the grid combined

[mortal scarab]

Maybe your engine chart is different from this one?

[keen brook]

Isack had a gearbox failure, taking him out of FP1.

Then Isack had an engine failure, taking him out of FP2.

Then Sargeant spun into the wall and out of Q1.

Then there was an issue with removing the rear right tire at Isack's pit stop.

Then there was an issue with removing the rear right tire at Zane's pit stop.

Then there was an issue with removing the front right tire at Isack's pit stop.

And then there was an issue with fitting on the rear left tire at Ricciardo's pit stop.

[gloomy bolt]

which f1 game is that? :)

[keen brook]

F1 Manager 2024

[gloomy bolt]

ahhh, thank you!

what is it available to play on?

[keen brook]

PC and consoles

even Nintendo Switch as well

so PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X and Nintendo Switch

[rose knoll]

A PS controller is fine right, although there’s slight disadvantages compared to a real steering wheel?

[keen brook]

Vesti replaced Hamilton in FP1 at Mercedes, Crawford replaced Stroll in FP1 at Aston Martin and Colapinto replaced Albon in FP1 at Williams.

[keen brook]

It's just August and I've only 3 million from the budget cap left.

[floral apex]

how much money are you spending every week lmao

[keen brook]

For whatever reason it was very low from the start already.

José Fontestad's, the head of aero's and Matías' ratings went up.

[floral apex]

according to the monthly report Red Bull intend on being world champions again

they're not doing so well

[keen brook]

nice

I can't even manufacture the new parts, that brakes already the budget cap.

I'm in the fucking summer break right now and braking already the budget cap.

[floral apex]

youd think the game would be able to load my team name but apparently not

[keen brook]

well, 1 last research and no new parts for the entire 2nd half of the season

I can't even split the remaining ATR time onto 2 new researches because only 1 is within the budget cap.

and only the chassis

[floral apex]

you might as well maximise it now if you cant do anything later

[keen brook]

yeah

I put everything into this one.

So we have an insane chassis next season but everything else mid.

At least I have 1 research on every part already.

well, expect the 2 still pending ones

And the 2 new last designs for the season that came in I can't manufacture.

As even that brakes the budget cap.

well, 124k left from the budget cap

And I haven't even reached the irl today yet.

I'm 4 days behind today.

I can't even manufacture 1 front wing.

[floral apex]

the car on track

yes very much a 2026 car

[keen brook]

Well, my 2 boys need to survive the entire 2nd half of the season with 8 front wings.

[floral apex]

hopefully they dont crash too much

[keen brook]

4 current and 4 previous

well

Wear kicks in as well.

I can't even cover off that with new parts.

[floral apex]

its only ten races its not that bad

[keen brook]

Yes and the biggest graveyard in that game, Baku, is one of that.

But yeah, should be fine.

My drivers have barely crashed yet anyway.

[floral apex]

only two teams in my save are still running their 2024 lineups

my team and mclaren

[keen brook]

I'm thinking about changing my line-up for the 2nd season.

My academy is just way too stacked to not bring one up next season.

[keen brook]

And Zane's contract is expiring.

So he will probably get poached anyway.

[floral apex]

haas have an absolutely stellar lineup in Sargeant and Correa

[keen brook]

Correa

I've seen in some saves Haas even signing Sophia.

[floral apex]

in the China sprint race, I saw both Haas drivers at the back of the grid
but then I had to restart due to a UI bug and in the restarted sprint, Sargeant crashed into Correa and took both of them out

[keen brook]

lol

Alpine has offered a contract to my head of aero.

[floral apex]

also Lawson's chilling at the back of the grid

he left Ferrari for Mercedes

[keen brook]

Ferrari has only offered a contract to my head of aero.

[frozen thunder]

guys

is a 1.29.673 lap fast?

on hards?

on jeddah

like i was just learning the track

and i wanted to push

[keen brook]

Alpine has poached my head of aero.

Well, I guess I'll scout then Alpine's head of aero.

Stuart King's, José Fontestad's, the sporting director's and Kimi's ratings went up.

[lyric scaffold]

They did in my Williams career

[lyric scaffold]

How’s WCC going

[quaint hare]

had the weirdest Saudi arabia race ever

1-3. 8th in performance

7 dnfs

2 spins in the same lap

yuki 3rd in the standinfs despite first race dnf

look at this

Sargent after 2 races has more points than Bottas, Zhou, Alonso, Piastri, Albon, Hamilton, Perez, Ocon and leclerc COMBINED

And he had a 5 second time penalty that race

[thorn hollow]

Any of you Team had some Great Team Name Idea in F1 24 and F1 Manager 2024 maybe?

Wanna make some Later

[brazen nebula]

in my save haas signed chambers lol

[thorn hollow]

As Official Driver?

[brazen nebula]

i literally just name all my f1 manager teams as brawngp but with my name instead of brawn

[thorn hollow]

Whoa

[brazen nebula]

no in f1 manager

season 2 they hired chambers

[thorn hollow]

I barely go for Mayer Motorsport based on Callie Mayer in F1: Braking Point

Had to sign some Female Driver that can be Talented for this

[brazen nebula]

i always do some kind of car brand sponsor though

a bit like sauber where bmw and alfa romeo bought them out

but its still sauber

[thorn hollow]

Returning Alfa Romeo will be Possible in F1 Manager

[brazen nebula]

someone added alfa romeo as a sponsor in a sponsor mod for f1 manager

[thorn hollow]

I see in Facebook sometimes, People keep making any Team with Real Team Name

[floral apex]

aston martin are the 5th fastest car

sauber's 9th

both astons got eliminated in q1

[neon belfry]

do i need f1 23 for f1 24 to work?

[mortal scarab]

Nope obviously

[floral apex]

LEC P1, TSU P2 after Bahrain quali

[lyric scaffold]

Mayer shank racing yup

Their liveries go HARD

[floral apex]

Bahrain GP red flagged

big crash involing Magnussen and Correa

Magnussen gets a penalty

[keen brook]

Aston civil war

[floral apex]

Stroll wasnt actually involved, he just happened to be behind when Magnussen did a viking dive into the back of Correa

[keen brook]

oh

It looks like he was involved as well as he's half off-track.

[floral apex]

this new Haas lineup is absolutely stellar

LEC P1, TSU P3 after Bahrain GP

[keen brook]

I really need to reach 2025.

asap

I want to see this crazy shit in my own save.

[floral apex]

im in 2026 but the changes werent as crazy as in 2025

[keen brook]

Yeah, I've heard about someone already mentioning 2026 transfers and it weren't that much.

[floral apex]

people are gonna get bored of hearing the Monaco national anthem

[keen brook]

Nah, the Monaco anthem is great, it can't be boring.

[floral apex]

in this save Max made people memorize the Dutch anthem for technically 3 years straight
now i'm here making people memorize the Monaco anthem

[keen brook]

In my save actually Charles was leading for a while.

in 2024

[keen brook]

But then at some point the inevitable Max dominance striked in.

And now Max is dominating.

as in every other save in 2024

I thought I'm lucky to get a title fight in 2024 already.

But I didn't.

I get the same Max dominance as everyone else.

just a little bit delayed

[floral apex]

2024: Red Bull 1-2

2025: Red Bull 1-2

[keen brook]

Yeah, there's no way around Max dominating in 2024 if you haven't set your own team to the strongest possible.

Or managing Red Bull to let them fall down.

[floral apex]

Correa such a goated driver fr fr

[keen brook]

[floral apex]

Sauber are fast
Red Bull are slower
Mercedes and Aston are slow

Haas and Alpine are just doing what they do best: not being fast

[floral apex]

i think the best part of the driver changes in 2026 is Perez going from Haas to Ferrari

[surreal cobalt]

is f1 2014 that bad like people say ?

[lyric scaffold]

Lando looks depressed 😭

[lyric scaffold]

🦅🇺🇲

[lyric scaffold]

Nah f1 2014 has insane car mods f1 2015 tho

Is a let down

Massive let down

[floral apex]

I went from playing mobile f1 games like F1 mobile, RR3 and F1 Clash to playing the real deal games (F1 23 and F1 Manager)

[floral apex]

Another amazing update from the devs of the database editor

[mortal scarab]

The handling is cooked

[floral apex]

The perfect sequel to:

I have no idea if it double sent there

It double sent

[rose knoll]

how to pit

bc whenever i try to enter the pitting area they end the session

in practice

[rose knoll]

and in race as well they count as DNF

[rose knoll]

like whenever i enter the pit area it automatically stops the session

[cedar barn]

2014 base game is horrendous but it's bless for the mods that people make for it

[frozen thunder]

EVEN IN PRACTICE WHY

ITS ALWAYS STROLL

[cedar barn]

it's practice it's not that deep

unless ur in resource point debt

[frozen thunder]

it is that deep

when you’ve got 3 resource points

[cedar barn]

3💀

[cedar barn]

how you got 3 at red bull

[frozen thunder]

aye the cost of R&D a bitch

after season 1

it’s just all major upgrades

and literally when i signed redbull only had 893 R&D

i spent the ones i earned from bahrain on underfloor and venturi tunnels

[cedar barn]

usually i dump them all on the powertrain cause aero for me isn't a big issue

even with keyboard

[keen brook]

Ocon went wide into the wall and out of Q1.

Then there was an issue with removing the front left tire at Gasly's pit stop.

Then there was an issue with the jacks at Isack's pit stop.

[frozen thunder]

it helps that redbull has the best engine rn, so i’ve been focusing primarily on my chassis since we’re second to aston martin

[keen brook]

And then Magnussen had an engine failure, taking him out of the race.

[cedar barn]

you using wheel or controller

[quartz pawn]

@keen brook this move was peak

So was this

That move was a fun one

[rose knoll]

bahrain double turn is a pain in the ass

[keen brook]

lovely move

crash

And the game crashed.

O'Ward and someone else had severe damage.

OK, I think the game always crashes if you want to watch a replay from an incident in which an affiliate is involved.

[frozen thunder]

wheel

logitech G20 (literally had to dig it out of my storage)

it’s not fancy but it’s enough

[keen brook]

crash

Tsunoda and Pourchaire

both light damage

I saved as I saw Pourchaire having light damage.

no penalties given

PTSD from the game crashing before already

OK, so it seems like the game only crashes if the driver who you watch is the affiliate.

Because the replay showed Tsunoda's view.

[cedar barn]

then realistically you should be fine with the current chassis and aero unless the car is literally a boat

[keen brook]

Martí replaced Pérez in FP1 at Red Bull, Goethe replaced Verstappen in FP1 at Red Bull, O'Ward replaced Piastri in FP1 at McLaren, Vesti replaced Russell in FP1 at Mercedes, Schumacher replaced Hamilton in FP1 at Mercedes, Beganovic replaced Leclerc in FP1 at Ferrari, Iwasa replaced Ricciardo in FP1 at RB and Pourchaire replaced Bottas in FP1 at Kick Sauber.

[keen brook]

Damn, I just had the smallest amount of rain ever.

The water literally only went up to 0.37mm, then the rain ended already and the track dries up again.

[quartz pawn]

Bipolar weather damn

[keen brook]

I've sent out Isack on instead of .

[keen brook]

Russell spun into the wall.

Russell out of FP3

Going into the qualifying, Isack needs now his 3rd ERS and gets a grid penalty and Zane needs now his 4th engine.

And with that new ERS we have broken the budget cap already.

by 2 millions

And I'm just at Zandvoort.

Ricciardo went wide.

Russell spun.

Tsunoda locked up.

[crude bane]

guess the game

[keen brook]

Roblox

[crude bane]

yea but which game IN roblox?

[keen brook]

I don't know, never played it.

Netherlands qualifying result of my My Team career

[mortal scarab]

Roblox of course

[keen brook]

Due to penalties Zane starts from 19th, Isack from 21st.

I've no clue why Zane got a grid penalty though.

The 4th engine is still within the allocation.

And I swapped it before the quali, so it's also not a Parc Fermé break.

Not to even mention you literally can't break Parc Fermé in the game.

He also hasn't got any penalty in Spa that carried over.

same for practices and quali

Strategies are for Isack , for Zane .

It's lights out and away we go!

Zhou went wide.

Great, Alpine's head of aero has a contract with Kick Sauber already.

Well, then I scout Kick Sauber's head of aero.

[sullen needle]

We're back.

[keen brook]

wait

What?

Stuart King got a contract offer from Ferrari.

His contract isn't even expiring.

well

Zane's contract is expiring though.

And as my academy is stacked as hell I'm actually fine with letting him go.

So his race engineer can then leave as well.

[sullen needle]

For those who didn't know, I dropped Correa for Sargeant during the summer break. I've only done Zandvoort since then. During that race, we achieved our best result as a team yet.

[keen brook]

nice

[sullen needle]

We even jumped ahead of Aston Martin in the points standings.

[keen brook]

Where are you right now?

[sullen needle]

We're just going to Monza.

[keen brook]

lol

same

[sullen needle]

I've been away for a few days on this save.

[keen brook]

Still funny that we are both heading into the same race now though.

[sullen needle]

True 💀

Dry weekend expected...finally.

It's been raining almost every race 💀

[keen brook]

For me there's actually not that much rain.

But I had a lot of rain in Zandvoort.

every single session

[sullen needle]

Yeah same.

Crawford qualified in P4, I think.

[keen brook]

The funniest was in FP3 though.

[heavy wave]

#memes-no-ai-will-delete-😡

[keen brook]

Rain only went until 0.37mm.

Then it stopped.

[worn forge]

parallel universe

[keen brook]

The shortest rain period I've ever seen in any manager game.

[sullen needle]

Both cars get solid runs in in Q1.

We may not need to do a second run.

[keen brook]

Oh and I've broken the budget cap already.

[sullen needle]

💀 RIP.

We make it through Q1 with only one run. Saves us some tyres for the rest of the weekend.

[keen brook]

Zandvoort quali, Isack needed a new ERS, 2 million over the budget cap.

in August

[sullen needle]

Wait Sargeant has a grid penalty? For what 😭

It's been so long that I don't remember what happened.

[keen brook]

I thought the same about Zane in Zandvoort.

Just that I knew nothing happened.

The 4th engine is still within the allocation.

Yet the game gives me a 5 place grid penalty.

[floral apex]

FOR WHAT!?!?

[keen brook]

[sullen needle]

Sargeant with a great lap is 4 tenths up on Crawford in P4.

Crawford is somehow P5, though.

Final Q2 laps beginning now...

Neither driver improving.

I think we're safe.

Both cars make Q3, Both Aston Martins out.
