[jovial flax]

too late

you can only do it before you start the career

[visual scarab]

Only?

[keen brook]

Nope, you can change it before every single session.

[floral apex]

but it should be possible mid-career

[visual scarab]

Can I do it in the F2 prologue as well?

[keen brook]

yes

[fiery mantle]

i love how i rolled my car 48 secs into a damn rally stage

[fiery mantle]

i was still able to keep going tho

[rare robin]

i haven't played f1 2019 in years

[floral apex]

WRC champion material right here

[jovial flax]

i want to play it but it isnt on steam anymore sadly

[visual scarab]

Cause I can‘t find the difficulty part in the settings menu

[keen brook]

What is the settings filter set on?

[visual scarab]

Imma send a screenshot in a few mins

[fiery mantle]

i was going like 60-70 kmh too 🤣

[visual scarab]

Expert

[keen brook]

Then all settings should be there.

[rare robin]

even 22 is not available anymore

[keen brook]

yes

[rare robin]

all games used to be on the store

[keen brook]

They always remove the game from 2 years ago.

[floral apex]

Its only the current and the previous years game

[fiery mantle]

i'm goated

[keen brook]

since EA's takeover

[floral apex]

So when F1 25 releases, F1 23 will be off the market

[keen brook]

yeah

[fiery mantle]

i rolled into some idiot with a selfie stick

[floral apex]

i like how it looks all good until you hit a rock

[fiery mantle]

i HATE catamarca province in dr2.0

[floral apex]

you ate too much rock kerb

[fiery mantle]

the worst pack of stages ever

all of these stages are super slow and technical

[rare robin]

oh didn't even see this

[fiery mantle]

to be fair, co-driver didn't say don't cut 😂

[keen brook]

oh

[rare robin]

maybe it's not just EA

[keen brook]

Seems like Frontier does the same.

[jovial flax]

imo it doesnt make sense to delist games from steam

[floral apex]

I guess its just a strategy to get peoppe to buy the newest games

[fiery mantle]

but, f1 manager 22 is the worst one, so not REALLY harmful

[keen brook]

yeah true

[jovial flax]

yeah

[fiery mantle]

f1 manager 24 is cheaper and better

[rare robin]

yeah

[floral apex]

Like how 2K Sports removes support from the older NBA 2K games and stuff

[keen brook]

Oliver spun.

thankfully no damage on the car

[rare robin]

the sprint isn't taking place here!

[hard wave]

We need brown shirt guy POV

[rare robin]

spa has no medium speed sections

most of the track is fast corners

[floral apex]

I like how even thr parts you'd think are medium speed are fast

[fiery mantle]

😂😂

this stage is about to suck ass

[rare robin]

while canada loves straights

[fiery mantle]

i'm glad the cost to repair huge damage is like 3k lol

[floral apex]

gets pretty exciting when the car you're watching hits a rock and almost rolls over you

[fiery mantle]

😭

[keen brook]

Another FP for Oliver, Iwasa replaced Hülkenberg in FP at Williams, E. Fittipaldi replaced Russell in FP at Haas, Colapinto replaced Hadjar in FP at Alpine and Lindblad replaced Vesti in FP at Williams.

[rare robin]

hard difficulty?

i'll just enable it

i want to see how the AI do

[floral apex]

You had Oliver replace Oliver lmao

[keen brook]

yes

[floral apex]

dont roll over anyone this time lol

[rare robin]

imagine night time spa

[keen brook]

Going into the Sprint qualifying, Gabi needs now his 2nd engine and gearbox.

[rare robin]

the engine is slightly more fuel efficient

[floral apex]

the 24H of Spa:

[fiery mantle]

i crashed at the other end of the damn bridge

i was able to keep going

didn't roll though

[rare robin]

i wish we could extend the distance of the races

[floral apex]

F1 endurance race lmao

[rare robin]

cars usually finish the race under the 1 hour mark (unless VSC/SC)

[fiery mantle]

wdc material here

still won the stage tho, by like 25 sec

[keen brook]

just an inchident

[fiery mantle]

i'm like 7th overall and the other cars are group b and historic rwd cars

my class is h2 fwd, so 90's hot hatches

[rare robin]

the grand prix 100 times

[keen brook]

lol

[rare robin]

ok time for quali

[keen brook]

Pourchaire locked up.

[rare robin]

it gets stronger the more laps you do

[keen brook]

lol

reverse wear

[fiery mantle]

i won the rally

and my car is mangled

lol

[rare robin]

is this how you take turn 5

[fiery mantle]

I'm 5th overall, everyone around me is group b 😂

[fiery mantle]

yes ofc

[rare robin]

it's almost 400 km/h

[fiery mantle]

it's fineeee

he can handle it

[rare robin]

so this is the lap record set by normal cars..

this is the fastest time at the moment

[keen brook]

a little bit faster

[rare robin]

more than 35 seconds faster

[keen brook]

Tsunoda spun.

[rare robin]

alonso's getting slowed down by everyone on his fast lap

[keen brook]

Hamilton locked up.

[fiery mantle]

this'll be fun ibr

looks nice and fast

[rare robin]

this is very unusual

except for stroll!

[fiery mantle]

i crashed in the shakedown

i rolled into a ditch

[rare robin]

sometimes the drivers decide to take la source at 400 km/h

logan crashes at the final corner

[keen brook]

China Sprint qualifying result of my My Team career

[rare robin]

the game not able to count the speed

[keen brook]

Strategies are for both .

It's lights out and away we go!

[hard wave]

Defining moment of my race, Lewis straight into me, causing both to pit (I was hunting Bottas for P2)

There was no penalty or warning given

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Hülkenberg

engine issue

Russell spun.

mechanical issue for Hamilton

gearbox issue

mechanical issue for Leclerc

mechanical issue for Hamilton

severe gearbox issue now

[hard wave]

Next Race is Sochi 💀

The poor drivers in 2019, went from Singapore, the most demanding in terms of physicality, to this shitbox that nobody likes

And its raining

[keen brook]

Sochi was actually a nice track.

[rare robin]

a replay of sector 1

@hard wave you on wheel?

[hard wave]

Easy to turn in, pain to turn out

[fiery mantle]

brooo after playing f1 24 and f1 23 on controller, i wasn't able to play 2019 properly 😭😭

props to you

[hard wave]

Thanks, been at it for 5 years now

[rare robin]

ricciardo runs wide at Raidillon on a slow lap

[floral apex]

we're over a SECOND faster than everyone bruh

[hard wave]

Time for some sochi rain, god help us

[rare robin]

sochi rain?

[floral apex]

dont bottle anything

[hard wave]

Sad lando noises

[rare robin]

reminds me of this

[fiery mantle]

i'm getting off dr2.0, too much rally for today

i'll continue my vcarb career 🙏🙏

[keen brook]

Magnussen spun.

[fiery mantle]

saudi arabia coming up, so i reckon i'll have an excellent race

jeddah IS my best track on f1 24

[frozen thunder]

VCARB is now starting to pull away in the development race

this was all thanks to ME

[fiery mantle]

what the fuck

[rare robin]

magnussen on pole!

[fiery mantle]

😭

[frozen thunder]

i built that team with my best fucking hands

they better be happy

but still i’m killing them in a mercedes

pierre and carlos cannot out chloe the chloe

[fiery mantle]

why go to merc from vcarb if vcarb is the best?

[frozen thunder]

two seasons ago merc was better than us

[fiery mantle]

ah

[frozen thunder]

i guess they made a huge push

but also i’m severely limited cuz of recognition

[floral apex]

the gold livery

[frozen thunder]

our car could be so much better

[fiery mantle]

do you have any AI buffs or nerfs? @frozen thunder

[frozen thunder]

no sir

just vibing on 80 AI

or well trying

i switch from 75 to 80

[keen brook]

In F1 24 they removed actually most of the buffs/nerfs.

[fiery mantle]

fair, each to what they like the best 🙏

[fiery mantle]

the rnd buff is still there though

[keen brook]

yeah

But that's now the only one.

[fiery mantle]

i nerf myself and buff the ai due to the ai being so slow to develop against me

[keen brook]

They focus too much on durability.

[fiery mantle]

yeah

[rare robin]

the following drivers have grid penalties: Albon, Gasly, Tsunoda, Ocon, Leclerc, Stroll, Zhou, Hulkenburg, Hamilton and Sargeant. 10 drivers in total

[fiery mantle]

it's time for the saudi arabian gp!

[floral apex]

it's only been 11 laps.

[fiery mantle]

lemme sim fp real quick and i'll get to quali

[keen brook]

From the races I've done before I've stopped playing F1 24 my strongest track was ironically Miami.

literally got a pole there

in an Alpine

on 100 AI

They were literally a second slower in sector 2.

[fiery mantle]

i absolutely suck at miami (against the ai)

[keen brook]

I suck there in sector 1.

[fiery mantle]

i lose so much time on the straights

[keen brook]

But their sector 2 weakness equals it more than out.

[rare robin]

this isn't what i planned for

[fiery mantle]

@floral apex you still play f1 23 at all or no?

[floral apex]

very occasionally

we're already lapping people 18 laps in

[keen brook]

Sargeant spun.

[rare robin]

attack until the tyres die

[keen brook]

Magnussen locked up.

[floral apex]

damn.

oh and hauger just dnfed

[floral apex]

Safety Car deployed
Vesti is out

[keen brook]

Damn, Ferrari is completely cooked.

[rare robin]

magnussen leading

some teams have drivers at the front and back of the field

...most teams

[floral apex]

wait lmao if i pit now with everyone bunched up will we still have the 1-2

yep lmao that just unlapped a few cars

talk about a gap

[keen brook]

lol

[rare robin]

perez went wide (totally not because of lawson)

and took damage

[floral apex]

"lapped cars may now overtake" yeah thats pretty much the entire grid lmao

[rare robin]

HOW IS HE STILL FIGHTING

[floral apex]

"lapped cars may now overtake"
2 sectors later
"safety car ending"

[rare robin]

OH MY GOD

[floral apex]

Antonelli wins teh Qatar GP

Verstappen P2

Piastri P3

even with the safety car we still won by 8 seconds

[rare robin]

something crazy just happened

7 cars took damage in that 1 crash

[keen brook]

damn

China qualifying result of my My Team career

[rare robin]

it gives me a view of sargeant crashing into zhou

[floral apex]

The gap between Max and Antonelli has dropped to 12 points

[rare robin]

17 cars remain now

[floral apex]

P21 is Ricciardo and P22 is Albon

[rare robin]

sargeant and norris have been given penalties

the pace difference between tyres is big

DRS makes it slightly smaller

[keen brook]

Strategies are for Ollie , for Gabi .

[floral apex]

12 points seperate Max and Kimi
The championship fight is on

[keen brook]

It's lights out and away we go!

[floral apex]

5 races left

[keen brook]

Meanwhile I'm in the 5th race.

[floral apex]

we're on opposite ends of the calendar lmao

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Hülkenberg

[floral apex]

The hottest championship fight since 2024 when Max and Charles fought it out for the title

[keen brook]

mechnical issue for Hülkenberg

gearbox issue

mechanical issue for Pourchaire

mechanical issue for Pourchaire

severe issue now

[rare robin]

vandoorne crashes

minor damage

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Hülkenberg

severe gearbox issue now

[rare robin]

magnussen crashes

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Hülkenberg

engine issue

[rare robin]

from pole to retirement

[floral apex]

i like how kimi antonelli is actually a competent teammate for max

[keen brook]

I think Hülkenberg has issues on all 3 components.

2.103 for Ollie

crash

[rare robin]

red flag..

that's quite a dangerous place to be

[keen brook]

Gasly locked up into Albon.

both out

[rare robin]

albon's out

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Gasly

engine issue

[floral apex]

Brazil 2027 could become the most exciting race in my save with Max and Antonelli fighting it out

[keen brook]

Gasly gets a 5 second time penalty.

[rare robin]

restart with 3 laps to go

[keen brook]

2.300 for Gabi

[floral apex]

If Antonelli wins in Abu Dhabi the gap will be reduced to 5 points (without considering fastest lap)

[rare robin]

the DRS killed us on the last lap

verstappen wins despite all that

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Hülkenberg

[rare robin]

and ricciardo gets a podium!

also 0.001

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Leclerc

[rare robin]

he was 1 thousandth behind

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Hülkenberg

gearbox failure

[rare robin]

red bull wins the constructors........

[floral apex]

The two hottest topics in my save's fanbase: #TeamVerstappen or #TeamAntonelli

[keen brook]

Hülkenberg out

[floral apex]

looks like he really did have problems in his entire power unit

[rare robin]

no one dominated that weekend

points spread was quite equal to most teams

BUT THERE'S ONE RACE TO GO OMAIRA

[keen brook]

pit stop issue for Gabi

4.174

That's the 1st pit stop issue of the entire season from all teams.

Or they just removed replays from pit stop issues completely.

[rare robin]

52 minutes!

a new record

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Leclerc

2.423 for Ollie

Russell spun into the wall.

severe damage

on the middle of a straight lol

[floral apex]

how does one spin in the middle of a straight

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Sargeant

Russell front wing change

now only light damage

[rare robin]

this was 3 months ago

they thought the season was over

now goethe wins the championship

[keen brook]

Gabriel Bortoleto wins the Chinese Grand Prix! And it's even a 1-2!🥳

current championship standings

[floral apex]

finally bvbocon joins the dominant custom teams club

[keen brook]

yeah

As I started with lowest performance, that was a true road to glory.

[floral apex]

we wouldnt have been dominant this year if my parts expertise wasnt apparently through the roof

[rare robin]

it happens again!

[keen brook]

China pit stops of my My Team career

current DHL fastest pit stop award standings

11th Haas 0

[floral apex]

I got only one pit stop point so far and it wasnt even a fast stop

It was a 2.445 lmao

[keen brook]

Meanwhile we do regularly 2.0 pit stops.

well

This race our pit stops were bad.

[floral apex]

The race just happened to have so many red flags that only that stop actually happened on track

[keen brook]

apart from the one 2.1 pit stop for Ollie

[rare robin]

that's...

[keen brook]

And Gabi's pit stop issue was the 1st pit stop issue of the entire season, from all 11 teams together.

[rare robin]

not a safe place to be

[floral apex]

We were so dominant in qatar we could pit when everyone bunched togrther under the safety car and not lose positions

[rare robin]

he just went straight on

[keen brook]

Gabi's rating went up.

Well, now Gabi is a rating higher, but how can he be so dominant against Ollie with the same rating?

Ironically he even has the longer contract than Ollie although he was in the team a season before already.

even 2 years longer

Gabi has still 5 seasons.

from his 6 seasons contract

However that's possible.

Somehow his race engineer has the same 6 seasons contract.

[floral apex]

seems like they aint leaving anytime soon

[rare robin]

i was so focused on the races i forgot about the facilities

[floral apex]

rip

[frozen thunder]

mashallah your facilities will be rubble soon

[rare robin]

moving on..

jeddah (2)

[frozen thunder]

i’m so good there

if you ever need a spare driver

🤙

[rare robin]

practice 2 on sprint weekends??

[keen brook]

It's still shown like that on this screen.

but only there

[rare robin]

alright

looks like they forgot to change it

[ivory crystal]

hi

[rare robin]

the speed of those cars!

[ivory crystal]

cool game

[floral apex]

hmmm

[rare robin]

i was prepared to see a replay but then it skips to the results

somehow 12 drivers got penalties

[ivory crystal]

why are u getting so much glitches

[keen brook]

That always happens if a red flag ends the session.

[rare robin]

oh there we go

it's working as normal now

also it's 1 PM??

[rare robin]

the mountain of yas marina bay

1 PM

in jeddah...

these times are similar to when i raced in austria

[floral apex]

if all goes well the only grid penalties we'll have to take before the season ends is for engine

Max could very much finish this season with an unused gearbox

[rare robin]

they didn't let me mess up the starting grid for the top 10

[floral apex]

Abu Dhabi, the season closer-jk theres still 4 races after

[rare robin]

another lap 1 pile up

[keen brook]

penalty points after the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix:
Hadjar 10
Magnussen 10
Tsunoda 7
Zhou 7
Pourchaire 7
Bortoleto 5
Russell 5
Gasly 5
Wenzel 5
Ricciardo 4
Hülkenberg 4
Hamilton 3
Sargeant 3
Norris 2
Albon 2
Verstappen 1
Sainz 1
Ocon 1

[floral apex]

ngl it feels weird being in abu dhabi when its not the season closer

[rare robin]

5 cars have retired

40 seconds to clean that up

[floral apex]

fun fact: after a practice session ends it takes one second after 0:00 to actually finish

[keen brook]

holy shit

championship fight after the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix

[floral apex]

theres a bit of a gap

[rare robin]

RED FLAG AGAIN

and another 40 seconds of stoppage time

[floral apex]

i guess its still sunny

[rare robin]

it's getting smaller

maybe it's because they are hosting the race at 1 PM

[pallid latch]

Is this good with a keyboard ?

faster than me using a controller wtf

[rare robin]

that's quite a lot of retirements

[keen brook]

It happens exactly what I hoped for.

crazy big shunts

[rare robin]

yeah 1 mistake sparks complete chaos

[keen brook]

Yeah because it's basically ping pong between the walls and take everything in the way with them.

[rare robin]

piastri lost 9 positions

because of DRS.

when the cars want to overtake

most of the time they just phase through other cars

and do the corners at flying speeds.

sainz crashes and brings out the SC

12 cars remain

looks fine to me karun

SC ends with 2 laps to go

ricciardo wins the sprint!

[floral apex]

100%

the fact that my garage is in the parc ferme slot

Q1 red flagged, Leclerc crashed

Q3 red flagged, Verstappen crashed

ANT P1, VER P10 after Abu Dhabi quali

Antonelli starts P21 due to grid penalties

Starting grid is VER P16, ANT P21

Verstappen starts P16 due to having to take a new engine

Verstappen takes the lead on Lap 12

yeah we're already up by 30 seconds after starting near the back of the grid

VSC Deployed Lap 35, Ricciardo crashed

VSC Deployed Lap 53, Sainz has crashed

Antonelli wins the Abu Dhabi GP!

Verstappen comes 2nd
Hauger comes third

Antonelli really went P21 -> P1

that puts him 2nd on this list

WDC Update P21 is Ricciardo and P22 is Albon

WCC Update
McLaren is 11th with 14 points

the gap is down to 6 points with only 4 races to go

look at how close this fight has been

[keen brook]

damn

[floral apex]

the H2H is almost equal as well

if Antonelli wins the title either this year or next year he'll become the youngest WDC

he is 21 right now
Vettel was 23 when he won his title

[floral apex]

only 6 drivers went out in SQ2 lmao

bearman, hamilton, norris and ocon essentially get a free Q3

[keen brook]

I had that in COTA 2024 I think.

[floral apex]

guess what im also at COTA lmao

[keen brook]

lol

[floral apex]

VER P1, ANT P2 after US GP Sprint Quali

max and kimi are once again battling it out

my drivers are switching positions every drs zone lmao

bruh

💀

[floral apex]

Safety Car deployed Lap 35
Bearman is on fire

this might be a long safety car period

Antonelli wins the US GP after a hard fought battle

WDC Update
P21 is Gasly and P22 is Albon

huge news for the championship battle

it's tied

at 441 points

with only 3 races left

WCC Update
P11 is VCARB with 23 points

if we go VER P1, ANT P2 in Mexico and then the inverse in Vegas
they would be tied (or at least 1 point off) going into the closing race in Brazil

this performance chart looks so funny

the entire grid is bunched together and then theres just me 7.001 km ahead

the only other time Max and Kimi tied would be after the 2nd race of the season

[floral apex]

VER P1, ANT P2 after Mexico GP Quali

Verstappen has a grid penalty however for a new engine

starting grid is VER P11, ANT P1

VSC Deployed Lap 14, Leclerc has crashed

oops i accidentally double stacked instead of alternating laps for the pit stop lmao

[keen brook]

lol

[floral apex]

max and kimi just collided but neither of them have damage

max's gearbox got an issue

except you couldnt tell cuz he has fastest lap

oh no max's gearbox is cooked

looks like antonelli will be having this race

tf happened with vesti

Antonelli wins and Norris got a puncture

ANT P1, VER P2 after Mexico GP

neither got fastest lap

after the Mexico City GP Antonelli takes the championship lead by 7 points

WDC Update
P21 and P22 are of course Gasly and Albon

the next race is Las Vegas

Max and Kimi are both secured until 2029

Las Vegas FP1 Red Flagged, Bearman has crashed

max and kimi fighting in vegas is gonna be fine as long as they dont crash into each other or get taken out by a lapped car

FP3 Update: Potential red flag

FP3 red flagged

VER P1, ANT P2 after Las Vegas GP Quali

[floral apex]

Las Vegas GP Red Flagged lap 39
Ocon and Doohan have crashed

Doohan is out, he recieves the penalty
Ocon remains in the race

Hauger just crashed and red flagged the race but Max and Kimi just crossed the line

Verstappen takes the win with fastest lap
Antonelli 2nd

Verstappen takes the lead of the championship by only 1 point

WDC Update
P21 and P22 remain to be Gasly and Albon

WCC update, P11 is McLaren with 34 points

[floral apex]

We join the list of closest inter-team championship battles

[warm prawn]

bro does anyone elses mail center take forever to load and redeem rewards

[sudden hound]

yes

i’ve had three children and gone through 2 wives now waiting for the mail center to load and redeem

[radiant gust]

I have beef with bots

[pearl wraith]

I do not know how, but I somehow got a second clear of Hamilton in Q2 for Hanoi

after finishing 7th at Bahrain, I'm genuinely surprised

[rigid dew]

Anyone here play f1 24 with keyboard

[clever shadow]

the flag systems in old f1 games are horrible

i was playing f1 2013

malaysian grand prix

wet circuit

last turn, im taking the inside line while hamilton is outside

i power slide, hamilton touches my rear right tire and he spins out

i recover

driving to the finish line

PENALTY: CAUSED A COLLISION

-10 SECONDS

yeah

when the ai cars crash into you and they end up crashing theirselves as well, YOU get the penalty

[golden hare]

I had to deal with instant 10s penalty for overtaking illegally on F1 2011, no chance to hand it back 😭 That's really annoying too

[keen brook]

Sargeant locked up into Ollie, taking Ollie out of FP3, causing severe suspension damage and also damaged the chassis, front wing and rear wing, getting a 3 place grid penalty.

Then Pourchaire locked up into Hülkenberg, who then smashed into Vesti, taking Pourchaire and Hülkenberg out of the race and getting a 5 place grid penalty for China.

Then Vesti had an engine failure, taking him out of the race.

Then Gasly locked up into Albon, taking both out of the race and getting a 3 place grid penalty for Miami.

[fiery mantle]

i qualified P8 for the Saudi GP

hoping for another points finish to continue from the P8 in Bahrain

[keen brook]

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

And then there was an issue with removing the rear right tire at Gabi's pit stop.

Gabi's win in Suzuka

[clever shadow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88xFXUIIJqs

Gabi's win in China

[fiery mantle]

is this my fault? i'm the vcarb

i thought alonso would back out but he only backed out like halfway into the corner

[neat portal]

whats up with the ai in f1 24

i have checo piastri and max like 9 secs ahead

[keen brook]

The AI is shit in F1 24.

[hasty oar]

How bad is it compared to 2020? I'm thinking of picking up 24, seeing as it's on sale and I have an expiring gift card that needs to be used within two weeks.

[brazen nebula]

that is an effective way of dealing with them

[radiant gust]

Indeed 😂

[brazen nebula]

gotta be careful otherwise the fia will be chasing you down

[radiant gust]

Naw they fia against bots don't be doing nothing from what I've gathered

[fiery mantle]

P3 in the race!

What a drive

Everyone else two stopped, i didn't

Bottas P5 is crazy though

[keen brook]

Pau Rivera's rating went up.

[floral apex]

we're down to the last race of the season and max leads the championship by only one point

will it be a 5th title for Verstappen or a first for Antonelli

Pulling and Bortoleto will drive the car in FP1

[floral apex]

Safety Car deployed Lap 32
Pourchaire and Lawson have crashed

im sure we'd have overtakes every lap but its raining so no drs

Bearman just got a 5 second penalty for hitting Bottas

the rain has stopped

2.259 for Max
2.647 for Antonelli

[rare robin]

i don't understand where these penalties are coming from

no power unit changes are required because it doesn't wear at all

how can someone use 0

[floral apex]

Max Verstappen wins the Sao Paulo Grand Prix!
Antonelli 2nd
Stroll third

That result means Max Verstappen is the 2027 world champion!

Final 2027 standings

[rare robin]

nothing can stop max

[floral apex]

Final WCC Standings
P11 is McLaren with 34 points

[rare robin]

i have never seen a team get 1000 points

[floral apex]

We only got one pit stop point
is this worth celebrating

[rare robin]

focus on the real championship!

of course you had to crash stroll

[floral apex]

and that concludes the 2027 season

i now have to think up of next years calendar

[rare robin]

i was expecting something like this on lap 1

VSC ends and DRS suddenly becomes a huge threat

and ricciardo leads!

[floral apex]

minor technical changes for 2028 and a smaller cost cap

[rare robin]

isn't that financial

magnussen crashes on lap 4

no time for racing!

red flag... it's very hard to see

2 cars are stuck in the middle of the track

i guess this will work for both cars

zhou gets a 10 second penalty

he's out in the final race of the season though

what will happen

[rare robin]

another huge crash

tsunoda gets a penalty for that crash

ricciardo crashes

just a VSC

everyone is out of DRS range

so barely any overtaking is happening

and i think i know why

[thin python]

where the skibidi are you doing sub 1 min lap times

[neat portal]

I was literally in the same position

I like 24 cos I js like it but 20 is better in every way

[floral apex]

from what ive heard the 24 AI is considerably worse than previous games - even F1 23

[neat portal]

Yeah

Thank god I got it on sale

It's NOT worth it full price

[rare robin]

no points

seriously..

I don't think you can.

cook your engine alive by sacrificing engine cooling

[rare robin]

hmm

[brazen nebula]

and burning fuel like crazy

[rare robin]

give me a second

i've got a solution

we can make it like this..

[keen brook]

McLaren Honda

[brazen nebula]

what happens if you set the engine power to like 500 or smthn

[rare robin]

i set it to 10000

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Gasly

engine failure

[brazen nebula]

do they just fly at 700 mph down the straights?

[rare robin]

uhh not that quick

i can't get the exact speed because the counter breaks by the time it reaches 500 KM/H

[brazen nebula]

lol

[keen brook]

mechanical issue for Gasly

Gasly out of FP

car on fire

[floral apex]

Based on what ive seen at the start of the new 2028 season, our car is still fast

Retaining the Max/Kimi lineup, will we see another exciting season

[keen brook]

Antonelli replaced Piastri in FP at Ferrari, Stanek replaced Tsunoda in FP at Aston Martin, Beganovic replaced Magnussen in FP at RB, Miyata replaced Zhou in FP at RB, Vargas replaced Pérez in FP at McLaren and Martí replaced Ocon in FP at McLaren.

[rare robin]

my game is frozen

i changed the final race to vegas just before the weekend

ok it's back to normal

[floral apex]

ive never seen someone play f1m24 just to break it via modding

[keen brook]

Now I need to make Ollie's setup for the Sprint quali and Sprint based on 2 bads.

due to his gearbox failure very early in FP

[rare robin]

these lap times are crazy

they go faster when cars are around them?

5000% is probably the best

[floral apex]

how did you get a free practicr gearbox failure

[keen brook]

well

I use worn parts for practice.

And the gearbox wasn't below 10%.

So I still used it.

But it had severe damage.

Which very quickly became terminal.

To my defence, Gasly also had an engine failure in the same FP.

[rare robin]

alright much better

[floral apex]

[keen brook]

[floral apex]

i havent checked out the 2028 grid or anything yet

[keen brook]

Oh, so silly season is coming up.

[rare robin]

LOL WHAT IS HAPPENING

[floral apex]

im wont be at my pc tho for a few hours so i might have to get to that tomorrow

[floral apex]

WHAT IN THE WORLD LMAO

[keen brook]

Alonso went wide.

[floral apex]

Is this what it looks like when you use flashback in the f1 game

[keen brook]

Sargeant really is consistently outqualifying Gasly.

[rare robin]

wait..

i used ferrari engines

[keen brook]

I guess 48% setup is not bad having to work with only 2 bads.

and the rest unknown

[floral apex]

You can change it again after the sprint cuz parc ferme reopens

[rare robin]

vandoorne missed the pits

[keen brook]

yeah

But the 48% must now be good enough for SQ2, SQ3 and the Sprint.

[rare robin]

it breaks it that much

this was unplanned

should durability be 0%

that should counter it

[floral apex]

engines breaking every lap lmao

[keen brook]

yes

1mm moved and all 22 engines, gearboxes and ERS break down.🔥

[floral apex]

literal 🔥

Everyone DNFs on the formation lap

[rare robin]

alright

engine fires on outlaps

[keen brook]

Imagine all 22 cars on the grid with burning engines.

[rare robin]

the cars speed on track make me think it's sped up

LAWSON IT HAS BEEN 3 SECONDS

i think he crashed

lost in the buildings of las vegas

[floral apex]

[rare robin]

he destroyed the power unit

[floral apex]

Damn destroyed

[rare robin]

uhh both cars*

UH-

sargeantt stop trying to escape

no leaving until you get a point

it's FP1

sidepod design 3 doesn't want to go on to car 1

[keen brook]

Strategies are for both .

Our quali pace is literally rng.

Miami qualifying result of my My Team career

[floral apex]

your engineers spin a wheel of quali pace before sending the cars out

[keen brook]

for real

even between sessions

In Q1 Gabi was the one who needed a 2nd run.

Then in Q2 Ollie is the one who gets knocked out even with a 2nd run whilst Gabi is with 1 through.

Strategies are for both .

[floral apex]

my current team situation is pretty much the lewis/rosberg rivalry

[keen brook]

It's lights out and away we go!

My team situation is right now experiencing the struggles of being new to being a top team.

Hadjar spun.

I haven't even checked the setup I changed for quali lol.

So I literally have no clue how Ollie's setup is now.

Anyone know if there’s a way to delete a time trial lap?

I’m learning to use a wheel with no assists and I wanna delete my old times so the delta isn’t constantly negative

they've gone right back to only supplying Alpine for 2028

driver numbers are still broken but thats probably just the aftermath of whatever broke the game previously

[floral apex]

some of my 2028 lineups are really interesting

2028 Lineup Changes:
Sunwest: Verstappen, Antonelli
Alpine: Norris, Lawson
Ferrari: Leclerc, Bearman
Williams: Pourchaire, Perez
Aston Martin: Stroll, Bottas
Red Bull: Piastri, Iwasa
Haas: Gasly, Ocon
Audi: Albon, Tsunoda
Mercedes: Hauger, Doohan
VCARB: Maloney, Magnussen
McLaren: Vesti, Sargeant

@keen brook could we get your insight on this when you're ready

two of my affiliates are teammates at Trident in F2 somehow dont know how that worked out

Wait did they fix the AI teams sending out all of their affiliates in the first race of the season?

theres no affiliates sent out here except for the one for Haas

[frozen thunder]

time for imola already looking good

car feels nice

too fast

i could probably get away with lowering the wings

running 24 on both

[rare robin]

are tyres meant to look like that

[floral apex]

low poly mobile f1 game tires

[keen brook]

Damn, these are crazy.

Esteban and Pierre teammates again

Ollie promoted to Ferrari

[floral apex]

leclerc came back to ferrari 4 years after winning his title with them

[rare robin]

they just ignore speed limits

[floral apex]

this top 10 in the opening qualifying

[floral apex]

i cant fully confirm this but it looks like they might have fixed the ais sending out affiliates on the opening race
cuz my FP1 had all of the regular drivers bar the one haas

i think this is the last livery from my first save i can use

VSC Deployed Lap 29
Tsunoda in his first race back crashes out

Safety Car deployed Lap 46, Hauger crashes out

we can see him on the side of the track nice

[rare robin]

it's lap 64

i gave them renault power

[floral apex]

[brazen nebula]

[floral apex]

first race of 2028 was exciting
oscar piastri in the red bull decided to dominate with us

[silver grail]

Yo

Hi

Whoever wanna play f1 23 dm me

[rare robin]

it's a 5 lap race

[floral apex]

did everyone leave lmao

[keen brook]

Ollie had a gearbox failure, taking him out of FP.

Then Gasly had an engine failure, taking him out of FP.

Then Sargeant had an engine failure, taking him out of the race.

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

Ollie's win in Miami

[floral apex]

we were pretty fast in Australia but then Piastri decided he'd keep up and fight with us as we flew ahead of everyone

[keen brook]

Tsunoda spun into the wall.
severe damage

Q2 over

What is it with Tsunoda and ending quali sessions early?

[floral apex]

That moment when you finish so far ahead of everyone it just classifies them all as DNF

[keen brook]

Emilia Romagna qualifying result of my My Team career

Tsunoda really caused chaos with his crash in Q2.

wait

He wasn't out.

I just now noticed that.

Unfortunately he knocked out Ollie though.

but also Sainz

Who is despite a lower rating the better Red Bull driver.

[floral apex]

I guess yuki crashed on his final inlap

[keen brook]

Well, Sainz is a champion and Leclerc not.

[floral apex]

Cuz hes shown as having 5 laps done like everyone else

i like how in my save Sargeant gets a third chance at F1 but Sainz, Russell and Ricciardo are seatless

[keen brook]

I like how in my save Sargeant uses his 2nd chance brilliantly.

He isn't crash prone anymore.

He outqualifies Gasly regularly.

And now even has a Q3.

and that in a Kick Sauber

Strategies are for both .

It's lights out and away we go!
