f1-games

[opaque compass]

they should remove tracks like that

[median rover]

Yea

[heavy shoal]

king size

[opaque compass]

and bring back tracks like hockenheim, malaysia, istanbul

[median rover]

They should get rid of some of the street circuits

[opaque compass]

france is pretty good tho

its a smooth track

[heavy shoal]

paul ricard?

[opaque compass]

yeah

[opaque compass]

whats the purpose of las vegas actually

[heavy shoal]

ehhh

[opaque compass]

its just long straights

[median rover]

The Vegas track looks like a pig

[opaque compass]

its pretty bad tho

[heavy shoal]

had the best racing of 2023 tho

[opaque compass]

just because of the power of the drs

still bad track

[heavy shoal]

good for f1

[median rover]

Vegas is a boring track

[opaque compass]

it could be even more boring when everyone can switch the wing mode to straights everytime they want except for having drs

that way the overtakes would be lower

[heavy shoal]

I find it funny how Vegas was criticized months before we raced there and everyone thought the race would be ass

[median rover]

Overtook max with inters

[opaque compass]

even the drivers criticized it but cause its a bad track they didnt thought a race like that

[opaque compass]

apart from all jokes, why did you put inters mate 💀

[heavy shoal]

elite strategy

[median rover]

I accidentally clicked inters 💀

[opaque compass]

ferrari pit wall masterplan i guess

[heavy shoal]

Marc:

https://tenor.com/view/ayowtf-craig-gleason-straight-drop-gif-21867265

[median rover]

I meant to put it on soft

But the ferrari master plan is working for the first time

[median rover]

Lewis is in P19

[opaque compass]

did he spun?

[median rover]

I don’t know but I just looked at the track map and I see a little light blue dot at the very back of the grid and it’s Lewis 💀

[opaque compass]

sometimes happens to me too on career races 💀

[opaque compass]

sometimes i see people that didnt got grid penalties and to be expected at p1-p3 at least at p18-p20

[opaque compass]

Mercedes having a pretty good weekend i guess

just got antonelli for f1 23

💀

(it isnt me)

[opaque compass]

currently 2028 season

got a pretty good grid thanks to toolbox

ai doesnt make good transfers themselves

I GOT HELD IN THE PITS BY MERCEDES DOUBLE STACK

OHHHH

and thats a win going off from my hands

💀

oh

Theo Pourchaire's close to his first f1 victory in France

he got a healthy margin if he keeps this pace up with norris

but norris is closing up on him

nvm

norris got him

[sonic gorge]

Why they didn't just make F1 2021 the base game and then charge for DLC for the following years is beyond me.

EA Sports' business model is not sustainable

[opaque compass]

to get more sales bro

if u make a new game every year

it will always be bought by some people

[sharp ferry]

Which do you use?

[opaque compass]

i have a wheel but i got nowhere to place it right now

so controller for now

but wheel is better if u get used to it

[sharp ferry]

Can I just place the wheel on my desk? lol

Do they come with pedals?

[sonic gorge]

Press?

[sharp ferry]

Sorry bad typo

fixed it

[opaque compass]

depends on how big your desk is and the wheel

[sonic gorge]

Some will.

The clamps come in different sizes.

Some wheels have a pedal set as a set in a bundle.

The Moza R3/R5 are good beginner wheels. Their bundles come with a good pedal set.

Don't worry about Logitech wheels unless you're strapped for cash..

[opaque compass]

some yes some not

[sharp ferry]

Im scared to even type into google to see how much these things cost...

But here goes nothing lol 😄

[opaque compass]

lol

[opaque compass]

moza r5 is like 20-30k currency in where i live

1 euro equals 37,65 currency here

💀

[sharp ferry]

About $400 USD. im in California

Sheeesh

[opaque compass]

1 dollar is like 34-35

[sharp ferry]

But its a bundle set

comes with pedals

[opaque compass]

ye

[vague willow]

ive just made a monstrosity for assetto corsa

supposed to be an f1 track

looks so bad

[kindred marten]

Who’s at fault

[opaque compass]

thats a pretty long ass straight you got there

[vague willow]

yeah around same as shanghai

~1100m

[vague willow]

i think you

[opaque compass]

pretty long ngl

[vague willow]

yeah

do i add a chicane

or some s's

[opaque compass]

your choice

idk fr

[opaque compass]

that move was pretty unneccessary but Sauber just turns on the McLaren still

[sharp ferry]

Do u guys race online against others?

[opaque compass]

sometimes

[sharp ferry]

How did they stop people from griefing and intentionally crashing?

Do they ban?

[sonic gorge]

Mclaren at fault. Exceeded track limits for an advantage

[opaque compass]

they didnt

open lobies are full of toxic kids

[sharp ferry]

Jeez. So its best to find a good group of adults for good races?

[opaque compass]

ye ye

[sonic gorge]

Best multiplayer is iRacing.

You can lose your subscription to the game if you eff around

[sharp ferry]

Cool. Im about to go into time trials right now and learn everything. I legit got the game today.

Got into F1 a few weeks ago

[opaque compass]

its like

people cant handle getting past

on open lobbies

[floral apex]

It looks like if Barcelona and Zandvoort had a child... kind of

[opaque compass]

actually kinda true

[sonic gorge]

Which game did you buy?

[vague willow]

🙏

changed a bit

[sharp ferry]

I have game pass so right now im on F1 23 for free. Then I can get F1 24 for like half off.

Just learning the game first before making a new investment

[vague willow]

added a chicane and revised the last sector

[opaque compass]

i bought f1 24 like this week but since i have a long going and pretty much modded career im sticking to f1 23 rn

also 23 handling is better fr

[sharp ferry]

Good thing I recently upgraded my PC so its running beautifully

F1 23 that is

[sonic gorge]

Don't bother buying F124.

2023 has better AI.

you'll have more fun in F1 2023

[vague willow]

i bought 24 at launch

[opaque compass]

I've heard ai's been stupid in f1 24

[vague willow]

i havent played too much

ive only got 35 hour

[sharp ferry]

Oh good to know. SAves me a bunch of money haha. I have game pass already so can play it for free forever.

[opaque compass]

I've got +400 hours on f1 23 from pc and ps4 combined

[opaque compass]

could be +500

[sonic gorge]

F124's AI are busted.

I think they have programmed the AI to have infinite battery because they are always faster.

I only like how 24 let's you drive as a driver.

I giving it another shot as I can't refund it.

I am doing a Sargeant career

[opaque compass]

oh

try not to crash challange (impossible)

[vague willow]

IVE MADE IT WORSE

[opaque compass]

actually some pretty nice fast corners

rather smooth and fast corners than straights

[vague willow]

i closed it without saving

[opaque compass]

💀

[vague willow]

hope it autosaved

it did not

cooked

got it back

[opaque compass]

i dont understand but rn in suzuka quali everytime even on my worst sector one im so much better than ai but in sector two i just cant keep up with the ai even i go at my fastest

i really dont get it

could be cause of my wing setup i guess

if not

im cooked

cuz actually i was going too fast in corners

[vague willow]

adjusted

[opaque compass]

oh

better than first try

[vague willow]

🙏

i changed the start of the last sector (after the wavy straights) back to a mostly vertical

now

ima keep like this

[opaque compass]

nvm got pole

wtf is max doin in p10

we drive the same car

[sharp ferry]

Cant figure out how to use DRS lol I wish there was a tutorial

[opaque compass]

like how to activate it with a button or how to get it?

[opaque compass]

ferrari's been tough for us

last year i got 6-7 mechanical failures or smth like that

[sharp ferry]

How to activate it

You can only use it in DRS zones I know that at least ahha

[opaque compass]

if you enabled drs assist it will activate automatically when it can be used

if dont you will have to press a button in drs zones when you have drs

[sharp ferry]

Ohh okay

What do yall use?

[opaque compass]

its so much easy so it isnt a problem with a button

[opaque compass]

Max got 2 mechanical failures in last 3 races tho

[floral apex]

I went to a video game store a few days ago ad found a physical copy of F1 Manager 22

[sharp ferry]

Do you switch gears manually?

[opaque compass]

yeah, its faster than automatic if u understand it

but if you will do manual gears on controller

use r1/l1 to shift gears

not buttons

[opaque compass]

havent seen any physical copy of any f1 manager game

[floral apex]

Among the dozens of copies of F1 24 i spotted one physical F1M22 copy lol

[opaque compass]

pretty normal tho

who tf plays f1m22

tried f1m23, rather being in the car than being in the garage

[floral apex]

damn

ive found i like f1 manager better than f1 23

[opaque compass]

it feels kinda boring when im not driving

[floral apex]

Mainly cuz i can instantly skip practice sessions without worrying about missing out on any R&D points

[opaque compass]

ye im on year 2028 rn so pretty much every car is maxed oyt

Williams BMW and Andretti havent cuz they didnt have spec 3 facilities yet

Lol

They're stuck at some point

I have a pretty much modded grid

Ferrari
Mercedes
Red Bull Ford
BMW (AT replace)
Williams
Audi (Sauber replace)
Lamborghini (Alpine replace)
Andretti(Haas replace)
McLaren
Aston Martin

Their partnerships are different too

Also

Drivers like Alonso/Lewis are retired

brought back seb at some point but he retired again aswell

the oldest driver on the grid is sainz

💀

[floral apex]

i like how you replaced one american team with another

[opaque compass]

haas seemed pretty pointless

lemme tell you the grid lineup

[floral apex]

well i mean they actually were in 2021

[opaque compass]

Ferrari:
Myself/Max
Mercedes:
Leclerc/Schumacher
Red Bull:
Norris/Lawson
McLaren:
Russell/Bearman
Aston Martin:
Piastri/Tsunoda
Lamborghini:
Gasly/Pourchaire
Audi:
Sainz/Albon
Williams:
Hauger/Antonelli
Andretti:
Doohan/Martins
BMW:
Drugovich/Fittipaldi (prolly will be replaced by Shwartzman or Paul Aron soon)

thats the 2028 grid

[opaque compass]

but now not

[floral apex]

Seems about right
In my original F1 Manager save i had Alonso retire after 2025 and Hamilton likely retiring after 2027

Verstappen left F1 in 2027 after failing to win his 6th title (we won that year)

[opaque compass]

i retired bottas/seb/alonso/hamilton at the end of the year 2026

[opaque compass]

💀

[opaque compass]

to give young people like bearman,pourchaire an actual chance at big teams

as i said underdogs are pretty much shit

they dont have maxed out cars

[floral apex]

Also Hulkenberg left as well after 2026 but I didn't even notice he did until 3 races linto the season

[opaque compass]

so theyre so far back at the grid

i think i sent hulkenberg to indycar or wec after 2023 💀💀💀💀

got bearman at haas right after 2023

and perez alongside him

[floral apex]

Lol Perez at Haas?

[opaque compass]

he didnt deserve rb tbh

he retired at the end of 2024

Shwartzman came to f1 in 2025/2026

[floral apex]

I got Perez at Haas in my F1 23 save

[opaque compass]

Hes been shit

So hes out for 2027

[floral apex]

And Perez at Haas as well im my F1 Manager 2024 save

[opaque compass]

the place where he deserves to be at

💀

[floral apex]

but i made Perez leave in my F1 23 save because I replaced him at Red Bull in 2023

[opaque compass]

i actually made some changes at the 2023 grid

2 changes

vettel never retired

stroll out

vettel/Alonso amr

And Schumacher at Williams for sargeant

[floral apex]

Perez got replaced by Sainz in my F1M24 save then went to Haas in Season 2 (2025)
Perez got replaced by me in my F1 23 save and went to Haas in Season 2 (2024)

[opaque compass]

oh

in my save at 2024 red bull changed their whole lineup

max went to merc

so they got russell and norris

[floral apex]

Red Bull's lineup in my F1M24 2027 season was Tsunoda/Hadjar

[opaque compass]

different

[floral apex]

Perez at Ferrari
Verstappen doing sim racing

[opaque compass]

2024-2025 was Lewis/Leclerc at Ferrari

Merc was Max/Seb

then seb has gone to audi for 2026

and retired

max is here at Ferrari with me since 2026

[opaque compass]

ive been at alfa romeo in 2023

then 2 years of mclaren

and from 2026 ferrari

[opaque compass]

lawson and perez in ferrari is weird

looks like liams done bad in f1 at ur saves

[floral apex]

I made a joke that VCARB couldnt live without an Asian driver (since i took Tsunoda)

So they hired Zhou

[opaque compass]

oj

oh

[opaque compass]

12-14-17

At the front runner teams

hes a race winner in my f1 23 career

he won in 2026 qatar when i had a puncture

💀

my mediums got a puncture in 11 laps

[floral apex]

also the return of carlando at my 2027 mclaren

[opaque compass]

Sainz has been in sauber since 2024 at my save

Hes been through pain

Audi is actually good rn

Hes scoring points

[floral apex]

Sometimes the driver transfers in F1 manager make sense
Sometimes they make zero sense

[opaque compass]

i had a different career save before in ps4

[floral apex]

They did fix that in the latest 1.6 patch to make the transfers make more sense

[opaque compass]

When i couldnt manage transfers

It was Lewis/George at merc

Then i went to merc

AND THEY GOT LOGAN ALONGSIDE ME

IT MAKED ZERO SENSE

[floral apex]

My new save has Ocon/Doohan at Alpine and Hauger/Ricciardo at VCARB (since I took Gasly and Tsunoda)

[opaque compass]

He got 1 point

[opaque compass]

Gasly/Yuki is a pretty smooth lineup

2 underrated drivers

[floral apex]

The famous AlphaTauri pair from 2021/2022

I did however have to poach both their race engineers lmao

[opaque compass]

if you can handle yukis anger issues

good lineup

[floral apex]

"I am a ******* idiot"
- Yuki after crashing

[opaque compass]

💀

its 5:29 am here

💀💀💀💀

im still awake

[floral apex]

I believe that's called an "all-nighter"

[opaque compass]

since theres not school rn

theres not any thing to make me wake up early

[floral apex]

I like how in the game Yuki just has a high aggressiveness stat

[opaque compass]

did you take him to a theraphist like red bull did?

[floral apex]

we had to build a therapist room in our factory

[opaque compass]

if anytime you sign charles, you will need a second therapist room

[floral apex]

man we had an entire therapy wing in my first save cuz we had Leclerc AND Tsunoda

especially when he ended up enduring 2 full seasons with no wins and only podiums

[opaque compass]

ohh

💀

im finally going to get to bed or ill get my ass kicked

[floral apex]

Damn i found an F1M24 livery preset mod
https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/jd-dots-livery-mod.71822/

[fossil vector]

Dude

Stroll just took out 3 People

Holy Lawson the Tire Whisperer. 52 Laps on Hards in Melbourne

[placid willow]

Ya see

Strolls data from reality has been updated into the game

[fossil vector]

Lawson couldnt improve his Lap Time 2 times and is out in Q1 on P19, meanwhile Danny got through on P8

And Danny is out in Q2 at P12

Doesnt look like thr Upgrades we brought are working

[fossil vector]

wow, our first Bad Result of the Season. Danny P11, Lawson P17

also our first pointless weekend

[brazen nebula]

i just did a 1:32.6 on the nurburgring gp track in the w11

im thinking

how did valterri get a 25.3

im 7 seconds off the pace lmao

[red wadi]

Should I do a Franco Colapinto save now or wait for the F2 update?

[fossil vector]

Danny and Lawson collided

downfall incoming

[true panther]

how wheel to wheel do you want to be? : yes

well, wheel to sidepods I guess

was NOT letting perez past me

[fossil vector]

well the VCARB Car really starts to show off the Tractor Skills

we barely in the Points

meanwhile the first races we took lots of points home

upgrades dont work at all

[rigid hollow]

Special livery for brazil in my toyota create a team mode

[true panther]

why is this a line in the game

💀

[brazen nebula]

because there was no ver-stopping Max Verstappen

he took victory

[true panther]

that has gotta be the stupidest shit ive ever heard

[brazen nebula]

you see thats why i went back to f1 23

[true panther]

im boutta go back to f1 2021

[brazen nebula]

crofty doesnt say shit that makes no sense

[true panther]

when the game was actually good

imagine all the current features in the 2021 game

[brazen nebula]

well most of the time he doesnt say shit that makes no sense

[true panther]

it would be so good

[brazen nebula]

yeah

personally though i dont like the f1 2021 handling

it felt like the car was gonna roll at all times

[true panther]

really?

damn

i never had issues with it besides my own stupidity

[brazen nebula]

f1 24 handling in its current state is the best for me

[true panther]

f1 2021 cars

[brazen nebula]

i find it easier to reach the best setup balance

[true panther]

at vegas

[brazen nebula]

imagine the f2004 at jeddah

[fleet berry]

My F1 24 2025 season grid

Max - Lando in Red Bull

CANT wait for the aerodynamic updates in the models in F1 24

Zhou replacing Magnussen

Me replacing Ocon

and I didnt take picture but Perez is in McLaren

[scarlet plaza]

wait folks

did EA shut down the mobile f1 game

the servers don't work

guess I don't have an f1 mobile game anymore then

guess i have to take my ps5 everywhere I go to play F1 games now

[sonic gorge]

You don't need F1 every minute of every day

[scarlet plaza]

You're right. I'll just get a ps5 portal.

Think about it.

You can play anything on the go

Fortnite 🤫

F1 🤫

GTA 🤫

[sonic gorge]

I drive to work. Like an adult with bills to pay

[scarlet plaza]

too bad so sad buddy

[little mortar]

how do i talk to my race engineer

[red wadi]

Currently doing a F1 23 save, instead of Franco fictional driver Brooklyn Jones replaces Sarg (I'll make a forum later)

[red wadi]

Jones Airline

[red wadi]

debut time!

Nah my Q3 difference would’ve put me in 18th💀

[red wadi]

Absolute heartbreak for the rookie as his engine fails while he was en route to get at least 1 point

Williams: let's replace our DNF prone driver
Also Williams: watches as their newest driver DNFs bc of an engine failure

[true panther]

I may or may not have broken qualifying

idk how

[fleet berry]

does someone else have the same bug?

[true panther]

I did my first ever 1:09 in the race

we love monaCO

[true panther]

bono my tires are gone

[fleet berry]

xD

[keen brook]

very common bug since the last patch

[bleak cloud]

i feel like this last patch put us into a beta build as it looks so unfinished now

[fleet berry]

skipping time (forward time) SOMETIMES brakes things

[keen brook]

Gabi locked up into Sainz, taking both out of SQ1 and damaging the chassis and front wing.

[true panther]

ah

yeah I usaully skip to quali

unless a objective is a practice progamme

[fleet berry]

yeah well, I think this have been happening to me Since F1 22

[true panther]

damn ive never had it happen to me lol

[fleet berry]

I guess the AI doesnt actually race while skiping

[keen brook]

Then Wenzel spun into the wall and out of SQ2.

[fleet berry]

the most unfortunate Red Flag for me was a Early race incident, had to change front wing, lost everything and at lap 7 there was a red flag, impossible to recover

[true panther]

ollie bearman is in talks with redbull right now for the 2026 season

👀

[keen brook]

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

[fleet berry]

Sauber style

[true panther]

and I now have a rivarly with the guy I tooks seat

aka lance stroll

[fleet berry]

woah

I am playing F1 24 with my own character and I started in Sauber, now IM in Alpine

[true panther]

I started ollie in haas

[fleet berry]

thats good

[true panther]

hes in AM now

and aston martin are second in r&d rn

lmao

idk why they wanted me

i didnt even do great last season

I had 1 win because of a big brain strategy call

[fleet berry]

Alpine is 6th in performance rn

Somehow I managed to be in the podium in Bahrain in 100 difficulty

3rd in Alpine debut

[true panther]

I play on 80 difficulty rn

ive been increasing it slowly

[keen brook]

Then there was an issue with fitting on the rear left tire at Isack's pit stop.

[true panther]

since 2021 Ive played on 60 but it started to get super easy lol

[fleet berry]

the difference in this game its the braking point against the AI + how brakes works in this game, im still not used to it...

[fleet berry]

I wish that was real

[true panther]

FERNANNDOOOOOOOOOOOO

[fleet berry]

FRENANDO ANOLSO

[true panther]

https://tenor.com/view/alonso-f1-fernando-alonso-gif-17603820799541990831

[fleet berry]

Norris in Red Bull in my Season 2 its FNG wild man

[true panther]

I have ollie bearman almost high rating as valteri bottas

lol

[true panther]

same for my season

CHECO IS IN MCLAREN FOR ME

[rare robin]

the rivalry!

[fleet berry]

me too

[true panther]

💀

[rare robin]

VALTTERI

[fleet berry]

PLEASEEEEE

[rare robin]

for some reason i forgot to check on the driver market

[keen brook]

And then Zhou spun into the wall and out of the race.

[rare robin]

until after spa

gasly extends with alpine..

ocon to VCARB

[true panther]

redbull want me\

[rare robin]

daniel to haas..

[keen brook]

Isack's Sprint win in Austria

[rare robin]

that's all so far i think

[fleet berry]

bro?

who are they gonna replace?

is Max higher??

[true panther]

who do you think

[rare robin]

fernando in a red bull..

[true panther]

wym

[fleet berry]

Lando less points than Max

[true panther]

probably lando

they might have him on a 1 year contract

[fleet berry]

yeah

[true panther]

unless they just tell verstappen to piss off

and pay his out

lmao

[fleet berry]

I signed with Alpine for 2 years

[true panther]

im gonna sign with rb for as long as I can

[fleet berry]

3 i think is the max

[true panther]

or I might sign for someone else Like ferrari if I can

[fleet berry]

My target its reaching Ferrari the most realistic way possible if I can

[true panther]

mercedes already approached me I declined

[fleet berry]

I had one good season at Sauber, now 2 years of Alpine seeing how far I can reach and then move to other better team

[true panther]

w

[fleet berry]

Yeah for me in Season 1 was McLaren but I dont wanna jump so high so early

[rare robin]

i paid overtime for it to be completed..

[true panther]

I was only approached by vcarb and alpine in season 1

im in season 2 rn

[rare robin]

1 WEEK LATER??

i think i need to emergency manufacture

[fleet berry]

happens

[brazen nebula]

ok starting quali for the japanese grand prix

bearman got impeded by tsunoda

not tsunoda ricciardo

AND HE LOCKED UP IN TURN 11

KARMA!

the mcl34 livery mod looks so cool when the car is on track

the alpine livery thingy looks so cool as well

with the 2021 style

p17 and p18

[floral apex]

wow such good results

[brazen nebula]

mick is gone next season

guy did a worse lap than bearman with more experience and newer tyres

BEARMAN P16 OFF THE LINE

GOAT BEHAVIOUR

while mick just went down a place

bearman down to p21

ocon just pushed bearman off

10 second penalty for ocon pls

seriously that was a joke

just acted like bearman wasnt there like a true sportsman#

bearman back to p18

mick down to p21

[merry thistle]

Got the game a day ago is this a good OT?

[brazen nebula]

if you didnt cut the corner that would be crazy

[merry thistle]

Oh shit😂

[brazen nebula]

i swear the confidence system in f1m is so shit

the effects are far too powerful

[merry thistle]

Confidence system?

[brazen nebula]

schumacher has dug himself a hole now because hes just getting overtaken and cant get anyone back

f1 manager has a thing where if your driver gets overtaken or crashed into

they lose confidence

and lose a bunch of stats

[merry thistle]

I think it’s the fact the ai was set to 20😅

I just had it easy

[brazen nebula]

so now hes the slowest driver on track and is losing time on 69% mediums compared to cars in front with 48% softs

[merry thistle]

messed up

[brazen nebula]

they did schumacher so dirty in this game icl

the car in front has hit the huge dropoff and he is still losing time

i understand that the car is a glorified shitbox

but still

bearman is 15th rn

[floral apex]

put verstappen in the car and hell easily win

[brazen nebula]

lol

[floral apex]

My new save lineup is gasly/tsunoda
our pr videos must be amazing

[brazen nebula]

oh my fucking god

THERES NO FUCKING WAY

OCON JUST KILLED BEARMAN

HE RAMMED BOTTAS AND THEN BOTTAS RAMMED BEARMAN

I SWEAR OCON IS ACTUALLY SO FUCKING STUPID

FIRST HE FORCES BEARMAN OFF AT THE START OF THE RACE

AND THEN TAKES BOTTAS AND BEARMAN OUT

[brazen nebula]

ocon didnt even get a penalty

this is actually favouritism

and he only got wing damage

which he was able to fix cause it caused a safety car

bottas got the penalty when he did nothing wrong

it was ocon just forgetting the brake pedal exists

OH MY FUCKING GOD

YOU CANT MAKE THIS UP

OCON HAS JUST FORCED MICK OFF THE TRACK MAKING HIM LOSE LIKE 4 SECONDS

mick locked up

im actually gonna have a fit

mick last place

ok so

im gonna try get albon

pull him from the williams shithole to my team's shithole

its a double dnf

in china

ffs

dream duo alex albon and oliver bearman

[floral apex]

I watched Stroll crash into Leclerc forcing me to change his front wing
And then a few races later Stroll took Leclerc out completely
Both times Stroll was being lapped

i got so incredibly pissed at stroll because of that

[lyric scaffold]

How is F1 25?

[red wadi]

That game will release next year

[lyric scaffold]

24*

[merry thistle]

Boring, lifeless, AI plays NASCAR draft train sim, shit show, piece of junk, “new” features carry

[lyric scaffold]

I'll make sure to pre order with day 1 dlc

[red wadi]

New cutscenes are way too long, career mode’s dead before you touch the car, the game has been EAified, did I say piece of junk, uninstall immediately, dead player base

guys i cooked with a semi forced driver transfer

i nicked albon from williams and they replaced him with enzo fittipaldi

i did a good thing for once

simulating miami

ALBON NEARLY GOT POINTS

P11

ABSOLUTELY COOKING IN A SHITBOX

[lyric scaffold]

https://medal.tv/games/f1-24/clips/iAS8ck6sl1OHXrCxn/d1337R8TlThZ?invite=cr-MSxXWm8sNjExOTMzNjAs mightve had a big crash at silverstone

it was onme

on me

[vernal epoch]

Yall my friend is telling me this os my fault, is it or not?

[keen brook]

Hard to judge only from that one view as you can't really see if the gap was big enough to go for it.

[vernal epoch]

True

[heavy shoal]

It looks like the Aston Martin went for a nonexistent gap

but yh it's hard to see

[keen brook]

yeah

But if I had to judge only that one view probably the Aston's fault.

[vernal epoch]

But you can see hes way too fast for the corner

[keen brook]

yeah

Definitely dived too deep into the corner.

[vernal epoch]

Yeah my Friend cant understand thaz

Thaz

That

[brazen nebula]

skrunn is at fault

went for a gap that didnt exist

HOLY SHIT

[crimson tangle]

Congrats @brazen nebula, you're now on lap 30

[brazen nebula]

I COOKED

nvm the pole lap was a 15.1

no way im beating that

seriously even on controller the w11 on ac is actually on rails

it feels like your on the limit until you realise your way off

[vernal epoch]

Can yall rate my hotlap

Im in a leauge and im practicing

[lyric scaffold]

Track?

[brazen nebula]

mugello

[lyric scaffold]

T1 you can attack more

[vernal epoch]

Yeah i noticed that

Trying to improve

[brazen nebula]

you need higher minimum speed in t6

and t5 actually

and assuming this is f1 24 t9 is flat with the right setup

[opaque compass]

T9 IS FLAT ON F1 24???

dead game 💀💀💀💀

[red wadi]

Wait hold up

[opaque compass]

wot

[red wadi]

[opaque compass]

exactly like that

23 is so much better imo

both at handling and ai

[heavy shoal]

true

[floral apex]

https://youtu.be/gXUacIlk5m8?si=1l-x1i08nWHvbREw

[opaque compass]

maybe?

[floral apex]

Bit crazy how someone has to make a mod to fix F1 24's problems
A mod that does whats supposed to be Codemasters/EA's job

[red wadi]

Yeah, and what does this do?

Make the problems worse

EA now know the fanbase’ll just do shit so they’ll be more lazy

[calm jewel]

The real crime is those camera settings

[floral apex]

my ultimate goal ]this season is to steal fourth from mercedes

[floral apex]

canadian gp is slowly gonna get wetter

[floral apex]

while nobody has gone out and ruined it, lets take a look at my 2024 grid

what the heck happened to tsunoda

gasly improved to 2nd in Q1
and tsunoda got stuck in traffic and went 21st

GAS P7, TSU P22

wow.

[icy olive]

Running some laps after an F1 weekend always hits 🥴

[floral apex]

ricciardo and checo just crashed

2 free positions 🙂

both drivers are still in the race but theyve lost a mighty amount of ground

GAS P5, TSU P9 after Canada

perez is quite realistic rn

lol i just noticed Max and Checo had the wrong engineers

Max got Bird and Checo got GP

performance graph update

[floral apex]

GAS P12, TSU P4 after Spain quali

[true panther]

REDBULL WANT OLLIE

[brazen nebula]

i saw that but that wont help console players 😭

[brazen nebula]

time for imola

second race for albon at my team

we have upgrades and albon nearly scored points without them in miami

he better be good im paying him a shitonne

literally just before his flying lap bearman locked up on the final corner

p13 and p14 in quali

both got blocked

doing race later

[red wadi]

The F1 23 AI is so stupid, got impeded by 3 cars in 1 lap

[red wadi]

More consistent than Max Verstappen

[fallen crater]

bro hates the first half of the season

[red wadi]

Fr

[opaque compass]

its so tragicomic

[red wadi]

Fuckin finally finished higher than 16th

[opaque compass]

just like sargeant, got first points inside the us

[red wadi]

As Sargeants replacement haha

[opaque compass]

lol

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for León

severe issue

mechanical issue for León

failure

I didn't know AI signing affiliates during the season is a thing.

León out of FP1

So that's now the F1 grid ahead of the British GP:
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 (affiliates Lawson)
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)

The only change is Aston Martin signing Lawson as an affiliate, maybe there were other changes as well but as I didn't know something can happen during the season as it never did in 2024 I've never checked.

Another FP1 for Luke and Taylor, Lee replaced Sainz in FP1 at Red Bull, Antonelli replaced Hamilton in FP1 at Ferrari, Tsolov replaced Alonso in FP1 at Mercedes, Lawson replaced Tsunoda in FP1 at Aston Martin, Dürksen replaced Albon in FP1 at Mercedes and León replaced Bottas in FP1 at Alpine.

Stroll went wide.

mechanical issue for Isack

gearbox failure

[keen brook]

crash

Verstappen and Stroll

both severe damage

Verstappen gets a 3 place grid penalty.

I like how Isack's gearbox that "failed" at the end of FP2 is still usable in FP3 and is magically back to severe damage again.

[raven fern]

IMO a kinda cool looking crash on FP1 from a few different POVs

i tried going through Eau Rouge with ERS once and that happened lol

also my driving is kinda wacky cuz i just finished a F2 career and im used to F2 cars now lol

[red wadi]

I can’t stop laughing at this tbh

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Zhou

engine issue

Gabi spun.

thankfully no damage on the car

Great Britain qualifying result of my My Team career

Strategies are for Isack , for Gabi .

It's lights out and away we go!

[floral apex]

lol leclerg pole

[keen brook]

yes

Just to be the only starter.

mechanical issue for Sainz

2.608 for Isack

mechanical issue for Sainz

severe engine issue now

[floral apex]

my save is too realistic

checo is 80 points behind max

and not helping red bull at all keep the wcc

[keen brook]

very realistic

mechanical issue for Bottas

ERS issue

mechanical issue for Zhou

severe issue

[floral apex]

rip the former sauber pair

[keen brook]

2.498 for Isack

Alonso locked up.

Norris locked up.

light damage

2.459 for Gabi

Alonso spun.

Alonso spun.

again

Alonso locked up.

[brazen nebula]

i did one 50% race against my friend and this is what i get

[keen brook]

Magnussen locked up.

[brazen nebula]

and in a race we did earlier at monaco i got safety rating A somehow

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Zhou

severe gearbox issue

[brazen nebula]

i can only assume it saw my friend had 30 seconds of penalties and thought “this guy is in a lobby with actual chimpanzees on controllers yet he only have 6 seconds of penalties, send his ass to the big leagues

[keen brook]

Magnussen went wide.

[floral apex]

3 stopper 🙂

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Russell

engine issue

Alonso spun.

again

[brazen nebula]

i saw a minimum liscence level of B on a multplayer lobby and it doesn’t let me in?

has it finally noticed i frauded my way there?

you have baerman as an affiliateg right

[keen brook]

yes

[floral apex]

at least you have race wins somewhere else

[keen brook]

current F2 championship standings

[red wadi]

this move will either be a Rosberg/Hamilton situation or a Verstappen/Perez situation

[floral apex]

almost got passed on the line

we're slowly catching mercedes

imagine being mercedes
8-time world champions
and you're about to be slower than a team that literally just joined this year

we're so far down the pit stop competition that the game doesnt even want to show us (i cant scroll at all)

[keen brook]

Great Britain F3 qualifying result of my My Team career

nah imagine if Norris is finally putting in results (remember im playing F1 23) and his team mate can't get in the damn top 5💀

whos car is better?

[red wadi]

wait Oscar is in WIlliams💀 💀

[keen brook]

😭

[floral apex]

i mean

i got Oscar in a Haas in my other save

[red wadi]

bro got replaced by a Qualy merchant and joined the team thats falling even more

[floral apex]

the weekend preview screen shows the same sprint schedule as the codies game

[red wadi]

all moves for S2

bruh only Williams and McLaren did shit

[keen brook]

and Haas

[red wadi]

oh yeah

[keen brook]

And Nico is gone.

[red wadi]

imma cook some Jones fan accounts now

[red wadi]

poor nico

[floral apex]

meanwhile in F1 Manager almost the entire grid will move

[opaque compass]

i once had sargeant on mercedes on my old ps4 f1 23 save

[red wadi]

fr, but I think most drivers where happy with their team and vice versa and the crazy moves will happen in S3 or smth

I ended 16th in FP1

[floral apex]

the driver contracts in f1 manager are pre-bahrain so a lot of them either have 2025 or 2024 contracts

[red wadi]

Jones probably got a looks booster because he joined McLaren

[keen brook]

José Fontestad's and Oliver's ratings went up.

damn it

[red wadi]

I'm getting cooked btw. gotta adjust to the car and ended 16th, 17th and 11th respectfully💀

[keen brook]

There would've been a reg change that the gearbox limit gets increased to 5 and the ERS limit increased to 3, but only we, Mercedes, Haas, RB and Kick Sauber voted for it.

[floral apex]

Damn 5/11

[keen brook]

There are tensions between Gabi and Pau Rivera.

[floral apex]

kinda ironic that the team with the worst engine durability voted against bigger engine component limit

[keen brook]

well

And their customer voted for it.

well

1 of the 2

Haas and Williams are both Renault customers.

[floral apex]

Renault got customers? what kinda sorcery is this

[red wadi]

man i'm actually cooked. MR. Saturday just got cooked. starting from P13 in the 3rd best car💀

[keen brook]

Ferrari hasn't a customer anymore.

[floral apex]

Imagine ferrari tried poaching all of their customers staff so they all left

[keen brook]

Kick Sauber swapped to Mercedes, I swapped to Honda RBPT.

[red wadi]

bruh the McLaren sucks apparently

Lando missed Q3 by 0.324

[keen brook]

Nice that you can't see the not mentality boosted stats.

[floral apex]

gasly just set a 1:02.9 in austria on mediums

verstappen made it a 1:02.1

i wonder if a sub-1 minute is possible at the red bull ring

of course sprint weekends have all tires unlocked except for the FP1 tires

damn i just watched sainz spin and lose the lead

vsc

Verstappen in the wall

checo won the sprint

5th and 6th after austria sprint
the mercs are down in 8th and 10th
thats some good points

7 points for us vs 1 point for merc

[midnight current]

stroll ai is actually annoying

you can only guess what happened

[keen brook]

contact, spin, boom

[midnight current]

i would have qualified 6th in the sprint if it was not for him

[floral apex]

well its lance stroll what do you expect

the guy took out leclerc in my f1 manager save while being lapped

hes just brutal sometimes

[crude reef]

Does anyone wants to play F1 24

[brazen nebula]

in my f1 23 my team i had the best race possible really

qualified p13 but started p11 cause grid penalties

and then got up to p9 off the start

then got past norris and gasly so i was up to p7 until norris caught back up

and stayed in 8th basically the whole race

cause i was outpaced by all the cars ahead

bit boring though

[fossil vector]

IM BACK after my Mute

so back to my VCARB Save in F1M

[raven fern]

do you think that adding like a commentator to the background would fit this crash?

(yes i have to cut part of the 2nd vid cuz it shows the hud)

and some of them stop for a while after the crash so i will have to cut that as well

[raven fern]

i would've not made it into quali if there were repair times

[fossil vector]

Lando Twowins, going up Eau Rogue and NO OH NO THE TOUCHED SKIBIDI AND WAS THROWN AGAINST THE GYATTWALL. THIS IS -1000 AURA FOR HIM. WE HOPE HE IS GOOD THO.

[raven fern]

it's not lando but ok

[fossil vector]

i also realised when watching it the second time

[raven fern]

and i meant like cutting the audio from real races

[fossil vector]

it was obviously a joke lmao

but yes, i think it would fit

[raven fern]

at this point i dont know what's a joke and what's not i've been talking to too many people

[crude reef]

Does anyone wants to play F1 24

[fossil vector]

lmao

[fossil vector]

No sir, im playing F1M 24

[raven fern]

it doesnt work on my pc lmao

[fossil vector]

i need an advise from yall

[red wadi]

Big signing

Driver career on 23 though

[raven fern]

i only have F1 23 and 22

[fossil vector]

so, i started a VCARB Carrer with Liam, and he is underperforming as hell. The car isnt great but danny outqualifies him by .700 so...
im thinking of replacing him with Sophia Flörsch (78 rating) or try to get Bearman (i think 79 or 80 Rating)

[raven fern]

get Kacper Sztuka raaah

[fossil vector]

heres a good example

[fossil vector]

I need a honest answer please

[raven fern]

i have no idea

but i have 26 replays of my F2 career (i dont have replays from 2 races cuz i either forgot to save the replay or it was broken due to loading the save) and i want to make something out of that

[red wadi]

Sign Colapinto, it worked for me

[fossil vector]

i dont want colapinto

i have 2 options, Flörsch or Bearman. They wont cost me too much

See, Danny made it through to Q3 meanwhile Lawson out in Q1. This happens constantly

[red wadi]

Bearman imo

[fossil vector]

just cheked, Flörsch and Bearman have Same Rating and Flörsch would be a hella lot cheaper

[red wadi]

Then Florsch

[fossil vector]

Danny P9, hopefully hell get some points home

How on Earth did Bottas get P5

WTF

[fossil vector]

okay maybe ill give Lawson some more time. He managed to Get a P11 from P19 and Danny lost 1 Place to P10

At least some points after 2 Pointless Races

[raven fern]

do you think it's worth making into one big highlights video?

[fossil vector]

yes sure why not. I would love to watch that

[raven fern]

i'm gonna try to make it but i have school, creating my server for another video game, editing my lethal company footage and this to do so im gonna have my priorities

if it was still summer i'd probably stay up late to do it

[fossil vector]

Is Imola the Home race of VCARB or Monza ?

[raven fern]

i mean school is not an issue cuz without studing sh*t i was above averge in my class

[raven fern]

yes

austria

[fossil vector]

VCARB is from Italy tho

[raven fern]

ik

but since its baby red bull

[fossil vector]

aight

[red wadi]

Monza, it’s only a few km off the hq

[fossil vector]

DAMN 99% and 100%

What a W

[brazen nebula]

ffs man

[fossil vector]

aight

[brazen nebula]

in imola bearman fell into the low confidence shithole

he lost 3 places and now hes 2 seconds a lap slower than the cars around him

[fossil vector]

My whole Staff is unhappy with "other Staff"

Nice

[brazen nebula]

confidence needs to be nerfed bro

[fossil vector]

that tells me alot what to do or how to react

[brazen nebula]

i think its cause you took half your staff from other teams maybe

[fossil vector]

i didnt change anything

its the same VCARB Team

[brazen nebula]

oh

[fossil vector]

i only got Lawson

[brazen nebula]

wait what

[fossil vector]

damn both cars out in Q2, P11 and P12

[brazen nebula]

bearman was on the back of hulkenberg 6 laps ago

now hes 15 seconds off

sure irl drivers will lose a bit of confidence but not in the car

[fossil vector]

wtf is this strategy

[brazen nebula]

they dont just get overtaken and start having a hissy fit and refuse to perform

[raven fern]

i'll probably send it here when im done

[fossil vector]

i hate rain races

shit lags

[brazen nebula]

oh my fucking god

enzo fittipaldi on dead tyres is going faster than bearman on fresh hards

while enzo fittipaldi is in a williams shitbox

[fossil vector]

uhm

Hamilton and Stroll crashed

bringing them to P19 and P20

Double Points ? 😄

[brazen nebula]

omg omg omg

everyone

dont panic

[fossil vector]

Yes

what

[brazen nebula]

bearman overtook 3 cars

HES DIGGING HIMSELF OUT OF THE LOW CONFIDENCE HOLE

[fossil vector]

DUDE

ALBON JUST MURDERED LAWSON

he has 45% Tyre Left

man

fuck albon honestly

[brazen nebula]

nvm bearman stopped cooking

bottas outpaced him in a wheelie bin

wait

safety car

do i box bearman i already had albon in the pits

[fossil vector]

YEA FCKIN THANK

10S Pitstop for LAwson

[fossil vector]

he can fucking retire man

[brazen nebula]

do i box

if i had mediums i would go to them or even hards again

but i dont have any hards or mediums

that i can use anyway

cause i will have to pit bearman again

fuck it im pitting him

actually no

im not

he will gain places

BOTTAS AND HIS AUDI WHEELIE BIN IS IN THE ACTUAL BIN

SHIT

umm

this is a small problem

[floral apex]

+2:10

[brazen nebula]

no hes a lap down

[fossil vector]

Dude Lawson is on P18 36 Sec behind

[brazen nebula]

he caught back up

[fossil vector]

i will retire the car to save damage

theres no point

[floral apex]

i just internally celebrated after realizing both mercedes got eliminated in q2

and both of my drivers in q3

[fossil vector]

oh damn

[brazen nebula]

ah

albon p12

bearman p18

i know i need to give bearman time

[fossil vector]

Lap 57/63, Rain stopped. 2,16 MM left on track
GUYS do i pit or stay on 48% Inters for possible P8 ?

[brazen nebula]

but he is not performing

[fossil vector]

Russle 22 Sec behind

[fossil vector]

Same goes for me with Lawson

[fossil vector]

Any ideas ?

[floral apex]

strategi

[floral apex]

the rain is completely stopped and theres no chance of rain later on?

[fossil vector]

According to weather no, 4 Min 15% Rain Sunny with Clouds

Hülkenberg has 29 sec to russel who is 22 sec behind me

so
