f1-games

[frozen thunder]

it’s because we’re both asian

that’s why

i’m getting the tsunoda treatment

[floral apex]

final lap is under the safety car

[frozen thunder]

it’s unbelievable

i hope he scores in silverstone

[fiery mantle]

odd standings compared to irl

[fiery mantle]

5 diff winners in the first 5 races too

Norris in Bahrain
Me in Saudi
Sainz in Australia
Verstappen in Japan
Leclerc in China

[floral apex]

I won the cjampionship in my first season despite my best attempts to keep max in the title fight

It all went downhill after accidentally double stacking in las vegas

[fiery mantle]

ughhhh i cba with sprints 😭😭

[frozen thunder]

JESUS CHRIST

P12

FUCK

i can’t

i need to go to another team

i can’t with this guy

omg we have a better car than alpine and he’s STILL getting knocked out by gasly

[floral apex]

ricciardo is perezing so hard

and you're verstappening so hard

[keen brook]

I think I have cooked with the 2025 livery.

Or it's complete garbage.

[frozen thunder]

i cant take it anymore

[frozen thunder]

show us

😀

[floral apex]

lcelerc's gonna win under the safety car

[keen brook]

Here it is, the 2025 Red Bull x McLaren livery.

[floral apex]

we need to see more angls

aston mar in

LEC P1, TSU P4 after Baku

[keen brook]

And that's the 2025 race suits and helmets.

OK, more angles from the livery, I'll take some screenshots.

[floral apex]

kinda reminds me of the 2019-2021 mclaren

with only 6 grands prix remaining, a Leclerc WDC is becoming more and more likely

and also our first WCC

[keen brook]

side view, top view, rear view and front view

[floral apex]

now thats cool

there is a sponsor thats kinda hard to see but overall it looks nice

[keen brook]

Which one?

[floral apex]

its kinda like the mclaren triple crown livery but with blue

this one just hiding in the side lol

[keen brook]

Yeah, I tried to match the Red Bull livery color as good as possible.

oh

This one should be white.

[frozen thunder]

i like the fade from blue to black

[floral apex]

fastest team on track
slowest team in the pits

[fiery mantle]

aston cooking, 1-2 in SQ1

[keen brook]

Let me quickly fix that and I'll make new screenshots.

[frozen thunder]

tf why does this cost like 8 shillings

OH MY GOD LOGAN IS IN Q2

LETS GO

[keen brook]

Oh, that's because in the editor I only see it from the other side and had the size optimized for that lol.

[frozen thunder]

Q1 result

[floral apex]

average ricciardo moment

[keen brook]

And from the other side the circle is on the front side so it isn't blocked there.

[floral apex]

fair

[keen brook]

I haven't even thought about it's the other way round on the other side.

[fiery mantle]

Alonso P1 and i'm P8 in SQ2

Some rain arrived at a very awkward time

And Alonso was the first car on track

Verstappen, Leclerc and Norris all out in SQ2 though

[floral apex]

so my audi mod wont work properly because i have the sponsors mod which renames all the sponsors

oops

[keen brook]

fixed version

[floral apex]

thats nice

id say my team's a mix between red bull and ferrari

[fiery mantle]

Alonso P2, Me P3 in SQ3

[floral apex]

ok theres a huge gap between baku and cota

3 weeks
we got an autumn/fall break in f1 now

i think we got this

[floral apex]

your team's sorted for 2025
but what about the other 10 teams

[fiery mantle]

733 points is wild

[keen brook]

The funny thing is: I still haven't checked up myself.

OK, time to take a look at the 2025 grid.

[floral apex]

oh i only just realized Perez got his first podium since leaving Red Bull

only drivers not to score points so far this season are Bottas and both Haas drivers

Verstappen's been consistently 5th or higher this season... except at his own home race somehow

[floral apex]

this is somehow exciting to wait for

[bleak cloud]

All red bull podium in season 1

[floral apex]

i just looked at the contracts page on the database editor

looks like we'll have a bit of a silly season

[stark jackal]

why is Leclerc so op omds

[latent pewter]

How do u have that thing

[stark jackal]

does anyone play monoposto?

[floral apex]

its the f1 manager database editor mod

https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/database-editor.70912/

[fiery mantle]

Double podium again in a sprint

Alonso won, i was P3

Aston lead the constructors now

[raven fern]

maybe it's me but doing setups is kinda hard for me, it's too confusing

[floral apex]

6 grands prix remaining in the season

I wonder what race Charles will secure the WDC in

Hes 103 points ahead of Tsunoda

We're 222 ahead of McLaren

[keen brook]

Campos: Beganovic, McGuire
DAMS: Miyata, Colapinto
VAR: Tsolov, Vargas
Rodin: Hauger, Verschoor

I feel a bit sad for Zane.

He got offered a contract from both RB and Aston just to end up as a free agent.

Alpine's line-up is funny, Russell and Bottas.

[floral apex]

is there a typo here
how is magnussen in both vcarb and haas

[keen brook]

wait

oops

Have missed then who's car 1 at Haas.

That's why Magnussen is still there.

[floral apex]

crazy how we both got alonso/albon at merc

[keen brook]

I need to check that again after I've done the pit crew practice plan.

[floral apex]

hulkenberg/ocon at williams
zhou at vcarb
sainz at red bull

[keen brook]

wait

I've gone through the whole list at driver scouting.

Does that mean, Haas doesn't have a driver for car 1 yet?

Because Magnussen is at RB.

That's why he's there in the list.

This could mean I get a very crazy driver for Haas.

Like I've seen stuff like Flörsch at Haas already.

I have hope something crazy like that happens to me as well.

[floral apex]

Just go through the first few days

[keen brook]

Yeah, I'm still at 1st January.

[floral apex]

The complete grid will come when you get the email showing the complete driver changes

[keen brook]

yeah

just finished the pit crew practice plan

[surreal cobalt]

Which driver should i get in My team Senna or schumacher

[keen brook]

Damn, with Jonathan Wheatley the fatigue goes up extremely slow.

[floral apex]

sadstappen

[keen brook]

well

He's 94 rated.

So it's not surprising.

But I haven't thought it's so extreme, they only need 2 rest slots in the entirety of January to stay below 50% fatigue.

[floral apex]

Tsunoda and his engineer's gonna get a big farewell party after abu dhabi

[keen brook]

wait

Both Haas drivers are missing.

There's also Hülkenberg in the list twice.

[floral apex]

wiat what

I think your game broke

[keen brook]

nah, not in the game, in that list

[floral apex]

oh

[keen brook]

So both Haas drivers are still open.

Damn, now in the excitement of wanting to see who's driving for Haas I haven't started part designs before continuing.

[floral apex]

Theres a significant lack of perez on your list it seems

[keen brook]

Yes, he and Ricciardo are free agents.

and Sargeant

Alright, there's the mail.

[floral apex]

they fought for the red bull seat so hard they both got fired

[keen brook]

Let's see who the Haas drivers are.

Also a funny detail: Stroll is now car 2 instead of car 1 at Aston.

[floral apex]

i mean it kinda does seem like that sometimes

[keen brook]

That will be so confusing.

I see black t cam Aston, that's Stroll.

Oh no, it's Yuki.

Yellow marked t cam is Stroll now.

I see already coming I will mix up these 2.

[floral apex]

ive had some moments where i got confused after driver changes

[keen brook]

holy shit

I have expected much.

but not that

Haas is absolutely cooked.

well

It's not Checo.

It's not Ricciardo.

It's not Logan.

[fallen crater]

ITS JOHN CENA

[keen brook]

This is the funniest shit ever.

I think I need to rework the entire list.

[fallen crater]

https://tenor.com/view/john-cena-gif-21557874

[keen brook]

Because both their drivers were signed for F3 teams.

[floral apex]

HAAS SIGNED TWO F3 DRIVERS?!?

[keen brook]

yes

Damn, the F3 grid got a bit shaked up.

[floral apex]

Haas in 2025:
two experienced drivers from the red bull family ❎
two random F3 drivers ✅

[keen brook]

Now comes the funniest thing.

They were both my generic affiliates.

[floral apex]

LMAO

[keen brook]

I would have expected things like some free agents like Flörsch as I've seen that before already.

But I've not expected that.

[floral apex]

Haas font office:
Hire experienced drivers with f1 race wins? Nah, get those two affiliates BVBOcon picked up when they were founded last season

[keen brook]

I have never laughed that hard about random shit.

[floral apex]

Perez and Ricciardo fought so hard for that 2nd red bull seat only to be kicked out of F1 altogther

Sargeant also being out of F1 is... surprisingly normal tbh

[keen brook]

OK, so that resulted in some changes in F3 as well.

The F2 grid is unchanged.

[raven fern]

lmao my 1st race in F2 career, i have absolutely no tempo and no car setup so im using the basic one but i managed P2 to P22 with only 2 overtakes, rest was due to pit stops and DNFs lol

[keen brook]

So that's the updated 2025 F1 grid:
Red Bull Honda RBPT: Verstappen, Sainz (affiliates Lee, Jensen)
Ferrari: Leclerc, Hamilton (affiliates Maeda, Kabir, Lacorte, Antonelli, Aron)
McLaren Mercedes: Piastri, Norris (affiliates Packer, Nakamura-Berta, Chambers, Zagazeta, van Hoepen, Bedrin, Smith)
Aston Martin Honda RBPT: Tsunoda, Stroll
Mercedes: Albon, Alonso (affiliates Inthraphuvasak, Loake, Ramos, Dürksen, Stenshorne, Tsolov, Minì)
RB Honda RBPT: Magnussen, Zhou
BVBOcon38 F1 Team Honda RBPT: Hadjar, Bortoleto (affiliates Pulling, Dunne, Tramnitz, Browning, Barnard, Goethe, Bearman)
Haas Renault: Wenzel, Gallardo
Williams Renault: Hülkenberg, Ocon
Alpine Renault: Russell, Bottas (affiliates Biddiscombe, León)
Kick Sauber Mercedes: Pourchaire, Gasly (affiliates Shields, Voisin)

[floral apex]

That Haas lineup's gonna be the only thing worse than Sargeant/Correa

[keen brook]

indeed

And that's the updated 2025 F3 grid:
PREMA: Correa, Dunne, Zagazeta
MP: Montoya, Mansell, Weug
Hitech: Browning, Bedrin, Boya
ART: Fornaroli, van Hoepen, Cowell
Campos: León, Oedekoven, Pulling
Jenzer: Meguetounif, Lee, Sztuka
Trident: Ramos, Villagómez, Cordeel
PHM: Jensen, Smith, Maeda
VAR: Stenshorne, Sikora, Lindblad
Rodin: Wurz, Loake, Esterson

[floral apex]

this doesnt sound too bad anymore

all of a sudden you're not the only team hiring rookies

[keen brook]

Oh and there's a new generic driver in the free agents.

[floral apex]

whos the new driver in the f1 market

[keen brook]

Her name is Jeannine Jacob.

[floral apex]

jj

Antonelli's 86 rated at 20 years old

Tsunoda's 85 rated at 26

ive heard rumors that carlos sainz is going back to mclaren

[keen brook]

Btw they're both 62 rated.

[floral apex]

very smart move lol

[floral apex]

most normal haas lineup

game still doesnt want to load my team name here lol

time for a sprint race 🙂

[frozen thunder]

okay

we

daniel

DNFs in silverstone

[floral apex]

wow

I ran the database editor's championship predictor again and

leclerc is apparently confirmed champion

[frozen thunder]

beautiful max P6 for silverstone

i think i have the constructors

maybe after spa

brought in upgrades for spa we’re now the 4th fastest car just behind ferrari

we’ve jumped ahead of mercedes and aston martin

[dim kite]

bearman and kimi destroyed everyone

for comparison they got more points than the second place f1 constructor (redbull with 652)

[keen brook]

José Fontestad's rating went up.

I like that the team center still has 236% efficiency even after upgrading it.

So the experience gain from the staff is now +141%.

They're growing insanely fast.

Taylor's rating went up.

Tim's and Abbi's ratings went up.

Pau Rivera's and the head of aero's ratings went up.

[keen brook]

José Fontestad's rating went up.

[frozen thunder]

omg i’ve been on F1 24 for 6 hours

wtf

i swear it was like lunch time an hour ago

[keen brook]

Discord doesn't show it right now because the connection between Discord and PSN is sometimes a bit broken but I'm playing F1 Manager 2024 now since like 10 hours.

[floral apex]

f1 games can do that to you

[keen brook]

The off-season really takes a while.

I've literally done only 1 race in that time.

[floral apex]

So what are your expectations for your team going into 2025

[keen brook]

The suspension design will be delayed by 10 days.

Well, that's not the expectation, that's what just happened.

I think we will score points more consistently.

[floral apex]

That sounds like n intervew outtake lol

[keen brook]

well

Our car has improved to last season.

but not by much

So I don't expect insanely great results.

[floral apex]

im over here interviewing you in the factory and then you get a notification on your phone saying theres a delay in the suspension design

[keen brook]

what the fuck

5 of the sponsor activities give no engagement.

So I now have to choose one which has a negative effect to my drivers.

wait

I haven't got money for the 1st sponsor plan.

Or was that only signing with new sponsors?

Yeah, it was.

nevermind

[floral apex]

damn insane sponsor options

Fun fact: the game still renders the entire car's shadow even if a part of it is missing

ghost front wing OoOooOooO

[quaint hare]

“gram“ yeah money gone

[devout saffron]

Who cares, good game overall

[frozen thunder]

wow P13 every time daniel

sigh

why must you burden me like this

[surreal cobalt]

Bro got dropped to alphatauri

[quaint hare]

the same happened in my career

[keen brook]

And is 1st.

[surreal cobalt]

Is fp1 and no one was on track except him

[keen brook]

ah OK

still a bit funny though

[surreal cobalt]

Yea

Checo got 9 points with that alphatauri and yuki has 0

Atleast he is beating his teammate

[quaint hare]

I did a 5 lap race in australia as sargent on 95 ai. New highest. Quali was p15. And in the 5 laps i went to p4. As sargent. In a williams. Without equal car performance

but perez held up the cars in front

[frozen thunder]

ah great he’s P12

LIKE THAT MAKES IT FUCKING BETTER

PLEASE SCORE A POINT DANIEL

[quaint hare]

bruh alonso. Bad start. Grid penalty. And locks up and is now in last

triple slipstream+drs+ers and i got 2 places at 350kph

[frozen thunder]

hmmm

zhou driver of the day

i wonder if he scored

NO WAY

DANIEL SCORED

P9

fuck

finally

oh

that’s interesting

after the season break mercedes has moved up to the second fastest car

pretty much on par with redbull

this will certainly be interesting in zandvoort

[floral apex]

during my red bull career save i was pumping out upgrades like it was money

[frozen thunder]

we’re now quite a ways ahead of aston martin

however we’re bumped to the fifth fastest

williams have made an insane push

in spa logan finishes P10 and albon P5

thanks to checo’s DNF we climb in the constructors

99 point gap to max in the WDC

wow we’re still bottom of the pack when it comes to durability

however we have the best engine

and 4th best aero

terrible chassis but we don’t need to worry about that

[floral apex]

2024: LEC P8, TSU P7 - WCC 4th
2025: LEC P4, TSU P3, WCC 2nd
2026: LEC P1, TSU P2, WCC 1st

red bull just couldnt grasp the comcept of these 2026 regulations

[frozen thunder]

awesome sauce

[alpine dune]

Given how the F1 film is supposed to be in cinema next year, what are the chances of the APXGP car livery becoming a bonus content for F1 2025 as a sort of promotional material?

[frozen thunder]

i never knew code master devs had good music taste

i heard tame impala being played

in the grand stands

one night/all night

WOAH

DANIEL Q3 APPEARANCE

max P8 in Q2.. very interesting

oscar P2 and fernando P3

lewis hamilton is out in P12

zhou almost makes Q3 starting P11

lance as usual out of Q3

not quite the lineup i was expecting

[floral apex]

hmmm i used inters during FP1 and apparently it means i can use softs in sprint quali (normally we're forced to use mediums)

TSU P1, LEC P2 after a very confusing USA Sprint Quali

[floral apex]

LEC P1, TSU P2 after USA Sprint Race

LEC P1, TSU P2 after USA Quali

[frozen thunder]

standings after SPA

it was a wet one, played it smart using soft for the first stint

although for some reason marc was pushing me to put on the laps where it was still raining lightly

onto hard

[floral apex]

Magnussen has crashed
VSC deployed

very normal gaps yes

Sainz has also retired

LEC P1, TSU P2 after Austin

This is Leclerc's 6th consecutive win

and his 14th of the season

We have secured the constructor's title!

adding a hint of gold to the car for the rest of the season (similar fashion to how we put silver on the car last season)

a hint of gold also goes on the race suits and helmet

ive been busting my CFD/Wind Tunnel hours on research

i only just found out theres a cool drone shot through Foro Sol

LEC P1,TSU P2 after an awfully wet Mexican GP quali

LEC P1, TSU P4 after Mexico GP

YESSSSSSS

driver's and team's standings after Mexico City

[thin python]

mhm being forced to do a wind tunnel investigation before even completing a single project

so lovely

yummy yum

[thin python]

how has aston managed that

[thin python]

only one tire to work with

let the game cook

literally why

because i didnt run any dry tyres in practice?

ass game

do some bug testing before you release dear god

didn't get any more tyres in q2

🔥 🗣️

[coral ember]

[thin python]

one tyre to do all of quali

on the first weekend that we could get to q3

manged to get p12 on medium tyres

what in the waffle is this game

[frozen thunder]

i got so bored i decided to act like a formula 1 car had an 8 speed manual transmission

do the AI struggle so badly in wet conditions

[bronze whale]

51 second lead holy fu

[quaint hare]

they do. I won a wet race in imola by 50 seconds on an ai level higher than usual

[bronze whale]

get this person an f1 seat

[quaint hare]

25% races btw

[keen brook]

I got in Miami Sprint quali pole in an Alpine in rain on 100 AI.

[frozen thunder]

i see

i was wondering why the gap was so large

i’m on 70 AI (am bad)

however some tracks i’m really confident on i usually bump it up to around 85

like bahrain and jeddah

i think that’s cheating but

😔

i’ll change my ways

[quaint hare]

im now on 95 ai. On controller

[frozen thunder]

but for me to build gaps it’s all strategy, i can never build gaps solely on my cars performance at least in a midfield car

i can still be quick on dying tires so i can extend my stint for a few laps at most

marc probably has an issue with the amount of times i’ve ignored his orders to box

but he don’t know me like that

[quaint hare]

is 95 ai on controller good?

it probably is but idk really

[keen brook]

yes

[quaint hare]

F1 23 btw

okay good

[keen brook]

95 is I would say above the average.

I only did F2 in F1 23 and there I was on 100 AI I think.

And the F2 AI is a bit worse than the F1 AI.

[quaint hare]

lance stroll hit vesti in the rear. Vsc is out

Albon got off track and took out alonso and one of the alpines

red flag

ocon was the alpine

[keen brook]

Isack and Bottas came together, taking Isack out of the race and damaging the chassis, front wing, rear wing and suspension.

Then Sainz had a gearbox failure, taking him out of the race.

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

[keen brook]

Dürksen went wide.

I like the look of the new car.

[keen brook]

Another FP1 for Luke, Lee replaced Sainz in FP1 at Red Bull, Bedrin replaced Norris in FP1 at McLaren, Antonelli replaced Hamilton in FP1 at Ferrari, Dürksen replaced Albon in FP1 at Mercedes and Jensen replaced Verstappen in FP1 at Red Bull.

[rose knoll]

i did 1:32 for bahrain qualifying and is beating everyone by 2 seconds per lap

which al level should i go

im on 59 rn

Tsunoda severe damage, Hülkenberg light damage

[quaint hare]

i hate this so much

i guess ill take it tho. 12 points Backmarker team is a good amount

btw neither of us had penalties

[keen brook]

Ocon locked up.

Tsunoda spun.

[keen brook]

Bahrain qualifying result of my My Team career

Strategies are for Isack , for Gabi .

It's lights out and away we go!

Gallardo spun.

Magnussen locked up.

This Haas line-up really is bad.

Like Gabi even came out a pit stop ahead of them with having done his 1st pit stop already.

2.596 for Isack

Bottas and Hülkenberg

no penalties given

2.689 for Gabi

Gabi locked up.

[keen brook]

José Fontestad's and the sporting director's ratings went up.

Had to terminate Alex's and Ollie's contract and re-sign them as I couldn't choose them for a FP1 and they also didn't appear in the monthly affiliates report.

[fiery mantle]

i won at imola!!!

alonso p6

also miami was a bust, P7

[radiant charm]

I'm a modder for f1 games and

How do I improve the car in F1 Manager

[keen brook]

just a little bit of rain

Btw the 2 Haas drivers are actually quite close to the rest in quali.

Then comes the race.

Not at a single point in the race was one of them 20th.

Even when the 1st car pitted they were already a whole pit stop behind the rest of the field.

[digital stirrup]

:/

could be much much worse

RAHHHHH

the williams spun it and verstappen almost hit him

[keen brook]

Max only 19th, damn

that cant be good

Wow so many overtakes he shouldve gotten DOTD

[floral apex]

TSU P1, LEC P2 after Brazil Sprint Quali

golden rear wing

Ocon's busted his rear left

the other Williams has a puncture also
right in front of us as well

everyone's getting punctures tf

LEC P1, TSU P2 after Brazil Sprint

both Albon and Zhou are grinding their rear rights

Yuki's starting at the back of the grid due to penalties

LEC P1, TSU P2 (P21 after penalties)

[bronze whale]

does f1 24 have drm?

f1 manager 2024*

oh it doesnt

oki

[floral apex]

We're sandwiching the grid right now

[floral apex]

damn Tsunoda just took out Norris bringing out the sfety car

5 seconds for Tsunoda

rain ended and i pulled a successful undercut on the switch to slicks

safety car
russell's just straight up stopped in the middle of the track

how to retire from an engine failure: just stop

another final lap safety car

LEC P1, TSU P8 after a very chaotic Brazil GP

Sainz didnt fix his hair before going to the podium lol

[keen brook]

Well, if the engine is completely gone it doesn't give power to move anymore.

I should've done a screenshot from the track map from like lap 5.

[floral apex]

anyway hows red bull doing in your save

[keen brook]

To show how bad Haas' line-up is.

[floral apex]

did they fall off

[keen brook]

Charles won in Bahrain.

very close to Max though

I think Red Bull is still quite strong.

but a bit weaker

They aren't dominant anymore.

well

basing off the season opener

[floral apex]

i think in my save red bull managed to get stronger in 2025 lmao

[keen brook]

Which is only 1 race.

[floral apex]

and then they had an insane drop off in 2026

[keen brook]

The Haas drivers were actually quite close to the rest in quali.

[floral apex]

quali pace: pretty okay
race pace: literal F3 cars

[keen brook]

for real

Just to show how bad they are.

As Gabi pitted for his 1st stop and both Haas drivers hadn't pitted yet, Gabi came out in 20th a whole pit stop ahead of them.

[floral apex]

Sargeant/Correa doesn't sound that bad anymore lol

[keen brook]

They were literally not only at a single point in the race not 21st and 22nd.

not even at the race start

not even at the 1st pit stop

They were already too far behind.

[floral apex]

were they just left behind at lights out lol

[keen brook]

And they finished the race 3 laps down.

[floral apex]

at least my Haas signed experienced drivers
your Haas just looked at the F3 grid and went "that should work"

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @floral apex, you're now on lap 35

[keen brook]

I can't wait to see what they do in Jeddah.

probably double DNF

Tbf only Gallardo had a spin.

If you thought Mick and Mazepin was a bad line-up, you haven't seen Wenzel and Gallardo.

[floral apex]

I thought Sargeant/Correa was bad until your save whipped that lineup up

[keen brook]

Haas is literally back in 2021.

Just that the drivers make the trouble alone without the car being far behind the rest.

[floral apex]

is their car fast or something?

[keen brook]

well

[floral apex]

or is it average haas speed

[keen brook]

The fact they were close in quali.

with being so bad drivers

I would say the car has some pace.

Let's say the car is competitive.

Just the drivers aren't.

[floral apex]

im gonna download some concept livery mods and make them the teams' 2027-onward liveries

im not too sure about this McLaren concept tho

haas toyota anyone?

actually i meant 2027 liveries
im already at Vegas 2026 lmao

[keen brook]

Doing 2026 liveries for 3 races, good idea.

[floral apex]

how many drivers have you confused so far

[keen brook]

I'm proud of having spotted Yuki correctly.

I remembered black t cam isn't Stroll anymore.

Bahrain was quite eventless anyway so not much opportunities to confuse drivers.

[floral apex]

stroll is cool and all until he takes out your #1 driver while being lapped

Yuki got the team's first time penalty in Brazil for taking Lando out lol

[keen brook]

I rechecked my live commentary from the race, I haven't seen an edited message so I haven't confused any drivers yet.

Will probably come as soon as I feel confident who is who.

[floral apex]

Vegas Q2 red flagged
Albon out

amazing camera angle

[keen brook]

I have in FP1 a struggle with the affiliates.

Because Red Bull used 2.

[floral apex]

the affiliates are quite chaotic as well

[keen brook]

So I wasn't sure which one is which driver.

Yeah, the affiliates are crazy.

Ferrari immediately gave Kimi his debut in a Ferrari.

Just to punch me again in the face I lost him.

[floral apex]

two Q3 surprises here: Hulkenberg in the Williams and Sargeant'

[keen brook]

But well: Good luck to Ferrari making him a F1 driver without a 2nd season in F2 or F3.

[floral apex]

you just went "he's your problem now" to Ferrari lol

[keen brook]

I actually wanted to give him a contract for car 2.

But that wasn't possible.

[floral apex]

LEC P2, TSU P3 after Vegas quali

[keen brook]

Then I gave the seat to Gabi instead.

He's only 71 rated.

But has still very good pace.

Only qualified 1 position below Isack and finished the race in 12th.

Isack in 9th I think.

yeah

9th and 12th

[floral apex]

i think Leclerc is WDC now

[keen brook]

quali 10th and 11th

I think our car is actually quite good.

[floral apex]

i mean hes 146 ahead of Yuki with only 3 races left

[keen brook]

We immediately made it with 1 car into Q3.

Which we hadn't really often in 2024.

So I'm looking forward to the season.

[floral apex]

the first race can really show the biggest of changes

we got 1-2 in Australia quali and i was like "oh no."

[keen brook]

And we are back in good numbers financially, the cost cap looks correct this time.

Like it's still over 100 million which is never was in 2024.

[floral apex]

try not to cook your finances before the summer break this time

[keen brook]

Somehow the budget cap was in 2024 at the start already only like 60 million.

or something like that

[floral apex]

strategy for Vegas

[keen brook]

Which is why I broke it that excessively.

Now with the proper budget cap available I'm confident that won't happen again.

I already made a little oopsie not checking how long the design for the 3rd chassis is and how long the manufacture for the 4th piece of the 2nd chassis so I had to cancel this to start the manufacture for the new chassis already.

So I've already wasted how much ever a chassis costs.

I think 225k or something like that.

[keen brook]

7th

[floral apex]

meanwhile, on the other side of the Haas garage

[keen brook]

I will never see a Haas in 7th.

at least not in 2025

well

If there isn't a race with 15 DNFs.

Unfortunately I haven't taken a screenshot from lap 7 I think it was.

[floral apex]

10 laps in
Correa's already 15 seconds behind and Sargeant's alreday fallen out of the points

[keen brook]

I had to laugh so hard.

Like the whole field was very close together.

And then there were the 2 Haas miles behind.

[keen brook]

Damn, there's definitely also a car factor in that.

[keen brook]

Like Logan isn't that bad in the game.

He could keep up with other drivers.

If he hadn't his races with 10 mistakes.

At least it was for me like that.

Either he was quite competitive and could actually fight with other cars, or he made 1 mistake after the next.

[floral apex]

+1 lap

...and the rest of the field is still half the circuit ahead of the leaders

Albon's crashed
Safety Car deployed

race red flagged

perez in the wall

he was being passed by his old teammate Verstappen lmao

[keen brook]

oh yeah, the in-famous turn 12

2 cars side by side there = crash

The outside car always hits the wall there.

[floral apex]

not the result we were expecting
TSU P2, LEC P9

[keen brook]

damn

What happened to Charles that he fell that far off?

[floral apex]

bit of a strategy error

lol

apparently Yuki's headed to Red Bull next season

[keen brook]

Oh, Red Bull poached him.

interesting

Yuki finally gets his chance at Red Bull.

Ah and you've signed Kimi for next season already.

Charles and Kimi will be a goated line-up.

[floral apex]

game broke when it sent me this email

lineup's so goated we have two car 1s

Qatar GP and then finally Abu Dhabi where we wrap up our first championship season

2027 im replacing the sprint in qatar and moving it somewhere else

performance graph

TSU P4, LEC P5 after Qatar sprint quali

and we are back to winning ways
LEC P1, TSU P2 after Qatar sprint

[floral apex]

TSU P1, LEC P2 after Qatar quali

interesting strategy option for me here
LEC:
TSU:

Leclerc will have the softs available in the event of a safety car or red flag

safety car deployed, lap 25
norris just stopped in the middle of the track and he's ON FIRE

"Norris Mechanical Fault" is a bit of an understatement when hes ON FIRE

[lyric scaffold]

Any1 wanna join me in F123 2 player carrer mode?

[floral apex]

safety car deployed again
Russell and Albon have crashed

that... somehow worked out for me

[lyric scaffold]

lol

[floral apex]

LEC P1, TSU P2 after Qatar GP

and finally we close off the 2026 season with the Abu Dhabi GP

Leclerc has already secured the WDC
We've also secured the WCC

[frozen thunder]

crap chat i’m slow in mexico

not good

i barely made Q3

buuut i win the drivers regardless of what happens in mexico

OH GREAT

DANIEL STARTS P20

[floral apex]

of course

damn I had Leclerc on an 8-race win streak

we only lost 3 races

[frozen thunder]

and we win the FIA Formula One 2024 World Drivers Championship with a whipper snappering 112 point gap to P2 in the standings

however

we have yet to win the FIA Formula One 2024 World Constructors Championship

main priority is to get daniel into Q3 and DNF both max and checo

👍

[rigid hollow]

Chat im gonna start my f1 manager 24 career again

So i heard its worth it to underfuel and then conserve fuel till the end

Is that true?

[thin python]

Yes

Makes you faster at the start

I usually do it by 2-3 laps

Also better for the engine then using push on the fuel option

[unkempt storm]

I’m gonna sign Goethe for season 2 for shits and giggles

[rigid hollow]

BRO

I ONLY DID ONE RACE AND TWO UPGRADES AND IT SAYS IM GOING TO BE 30 MILION IN DEBT AT THE END????

I think its bugged

In my last save and this save both say “Other: $64,113,018”

In literally both saves

Please can anyone help me

Like what is other

Im just gonna play the game like nothing is happening

[unkempt storm]

It is

To sign Carlos Sainz it made me spend 14 million 💀💀

[rigid hollow]

U got it too?

[unkempt storm]

Yeah I had to restart my career because I went into debt

[keen brook]

The budget cap in 2024 is a bit weird.

I broke it mid-season already.

At the end of the season I was 25 million over the budget cap.

with normal spending

[rigid hollow]

Nah im not restarting this again

Im just gonna play

I dont even care at this point

[unkempt storm]

Bro I just went from only having 300K to having 12 Million in a day 💀

The game is so bugged

[rigid hollow]

Dudee imagine an f1 manager online feature

Maybe like a league

Everyone would create their own team and start at equal performance and everyone could upgrade how they want

Idk how the drivers and staff would work

[steady tusk]

damn i got the cursed timeline

sorry did i say cursed?

i meant based

[subtle horizon]

what is that model of daniel ricciardo lmao

[steady tusk]

i'm pretty sure the F1 games were using the same models from 2015 until like 2021

because 22 introduced new models that looked terrible

not that these ones look any better lol

[subtle horizon]

yeah

23 also got new models

they look slightly better

i guess thats one thing the new games have over f1 2020

[steady tusk]

i mean, as much as good models are nice to have

i also prefer having a good handling model

although for some reason this race in particular made me pull my hair out until i got to the race itself

practice was a nightmare for some reason

[lyric scaffold]

i dont think i cooked

[steady tusk]

i think it's pretty ight

[lyric scaffold]

i like it but at the same time it just looks like shit

idk what colours would be good w this livery

[steady tusk]

if it were closer to a proper camo livery, like a black and grey version of the Red Bull test liveries it would be better

[lyric scaffold]

this one looks worse imo

i think i have to change it from black and white cuz otherwise the sponsors will look ass

[subtle horizon]

yeah f1 2020 handling model on top

[steady tusk]

very much so

i don't know why Australia was so difficult to get through practice though

i had to turn down the difficulty so much because the car just wouldn't do what i wanted, despite using the exact same setup i did in the previous season

literally turned into the 2014 ferrari, constantly understeering and oversteering

but then when i got to the race it drove just fine

[subtle horizon]

damn

i guess the fuel did something

[lyric scaffold]

i wish f1 24 had more customization options

this shit is terrible atm

i can barely do anything to my team at all

now i might have brain damage but imo this one is pretty decent

[keen brook]

Russell locked up into the wall.

Russell out of FP1

Antonelli replaced Leclerc in FP1 at Ferrari, Aron replaced Hamilton in FP1 at Ferrari, Lee replaced Sainz in FP1 at Red Bull, Dürksen replaced Albon in FP1 at Mercedes, Bedrin replaced Norris in FP1 at McLaren, Jensen replaced Verstappen in FP1 at Red Bull, Tsolov replaced Alonso in FP1 at Mercedes, Voisin replaced Pourchaire in FP1 at Kick Sauber and León replaced Bottas in FP1 at Alpine.

[honest wyvern]

Does anyone want to play if I’m allowed to ask in this channel? F1 24

[keen brook]

Leclerc spun into the wall.

Leclerc out

[honest wyvern]

And also, how do I turn on car damage?

[keen brook]

Should be under simulation settings.

[honest wyvern]

Yeah, it’s grade out. I am not able to change it for some reason.

[keen brook]

That's weird.

2.612 for Isack

[honest wyvern]

And also, do you want to play? I am been trying to find someone to play in many different servers for a long time.

[keen brook]

I'm playing F1 Manager right now.

2.411 for Gabi

[honest wyvern]

Oh, OK and also do I have to do it in like a championship or something because I cannot see the simulation settings when I am in the main menu

[keen brook]

I have standard edition.

What is the settings filter set on?

[honest wyvern]

I have champions edition can I still play with you guys? If I am using the regular I mean, championships addition

Never mind, I fixed the issues

[keen brook]

ah OK, nice

[honest wyvern]

Yeah, when you’re done playing F1 manager do you want to play with me?

[keen brook]

Champions edition can play with standard edition.

[honest wyvern]

Ok

[keen brook]

Oh, I forgot I don't have PS Plus anymore.

[honest wyvern]

Champions edition was on sale that’s why I bought it

[honest wyvern]

Oh, OK. The champions edition was on sale so otherwise I would have never gotten this game even though I love F1.

[keen brook]

And PS Plus is needed for multiplayer.

[honest wyvern]

Oh, OK so I guess I cannot play with you. I’ve been looking for so long oh my God.

[keen brook]

Yeah, unfortunately I can't play with you, but maybe try it again later if some others are active here as well.

[honest wyvern]

Is this a European server?

People are not in the USA because that will be better for me so I’ll have more people to play with

[keen brook]

It's an international server.

[honest wyvern]

Ok do you know anybody that I can play with?

[keen brook]

I don't remember anyone recently asking for people to play with them.

[honest wyvern]

Ok I guess I’m back on the hunt to find someone

Does anybody want to play? F1 2024

no

not sure why you'd think that

Abu Dhabi: where teams like to throw in affiliate drivers

except most of the AIs do that early in the season

[keen brook]

yeah

Btw in Jeddah 1 of the Haas drivers managed to not finish last.

[floral apex]

woo

[keen brook]

The other one crashed out in lap 1.

[floral apex]

Abu Dhabi is such a balanced track

[keen brook]

lol

[floral apex]

actually this one's better

[keen brook]

An optimal without even doing anything.

[floral apex]

85% satisfaction on the first stint (without making any changes) is something ive only seen in Abu Dhabi

[keen brook]

I like how it says bias in the top left.

yea the bias towards each factor
