2032 Contract Rumours for my F1M save:

• Red Bull may be looking at an all-new lineup as both Piastri and Russell take their leave.
• Audi will also be shaking things up as both Tsunoda and Albon move to new teams.
• Haas will be searching for new drivers as Ocon and Gasly move on.
• Williams, Racing Bulls and Alpine will run one new driver for 2032.
• Maloney and Antonelli may return to the grid in 2032.

[fallow breach]

i think aston are really getting things right to push forward in 2029

[quaint hare]

i made charles get a grid penalty at his home race

monaco race sim. Norris won. Leclerc got p2

[quaint hare]

lotus season 1. were already the 2nd best team

[fallow breach]

oh come on what the hell

4th in r&d now

behind red bull too

maxed out car, i say again.

Onto the Chinese GP

[quaint hare]

Ai always have an advantage

[fallow breach]

SQ

[quaint hare]

SHIT

OVERTAKE MODE IS STUCK

bro i lost half of my ERS

[fallow breach]

DP has sprint pole, then Russell, Verstappen, Leclerc, Stroll, Hamilton, Sainz and Norris. Pourchaire and Bearman round out the top 10.

Time for the sprint.

[fallow breach]

DP wins the sprint from Russell.

And.. he picks up pole from Russell by 2.2 seconds.

But Max Verstappen is P22!

We go racing in Shanghai!

DP spun, all cars stopped. No retirements.

Off the restart, DP gets the lead from C.Leclerc, then Norris, Stroll, Doohan, Bearman, Russell, Martins, Hamilton and Gasly.

CHARLES LECLERC HAS A MECHANICAL FAILURE ON LAP 10!

This means it is now a Xenon 1-2 as Norris gets up into P2, Bearman is P3, then Stroll, Russell, Doohan, Martins, Sainz up from P15, Daruvala and Gasly.

Bearman now passes Norris for P2 onto lap 12. An expected move, but still unfortunate.

DP sees the chequered flag to take his third win of the season and win in Shanghai!

[floral apex]

bruh lando

[fallow breach]

he's too fucking complacent after his first quali runs

say, for the 5th best car, still being 2 seconds clear on 1 lap under driver control is good for dp

DP is on pole for the sprint in Miami.

Russell is P2, then Sainz, Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Bearman, Stroll, Martins, Daruvala and Hamilton.

Norris got a point in the sprint

Scorers: Russell, Sainz, Bearman, DP, Verstappen, Leclerc, Stroll, Norris

[floral apex]

just A point?!?

[fallow breach]

yep

i mean

he started p11 and the car is 5th on performance comparison

so p8 is not bad all things considered

[fallow breach]

(The field are really close)

mclaren are top from VCARB, Red Bull, Ferrari, Xenon and Aston

All those teams i just listed behind McLaren are approximately equal

Out in Q1:

Out in Q2:
Vesti

Tsunoda
Stroll
Daruvala

[red wadi]

We returning, and one more IMSA race before the F1A season starts!

[fallow breach]

Two big shocks in Q2, namely Stroll and Daruvala. Moreso Stroll, 6th place in the World Championship out of the Sprint.

[floral apex]

we back

[fallow breach]

Btw McLaren took the lead of the WCC back after the sprint, from Xenon 162 to McLaren 158 it became McLaren 172 to Xenon 168

[quaint hare]

Skill based matchmaking simply doesnt exist

i won by 29 seconds

[fallow breach]

nice!!

crazy thrashing

[fallow breach]

So Norris redeems his SQ2 exit by getting through to Q3.

[fallow breach]

Jack Doohan in that VCARB is P10 in Q2, crazy

Who will have pole in Miami?

It is raining!

The first Q3 run might be the only one, unless the weather clears up or the conditions are changeover enough to have inters getting faster times than softs.

Yes indeed. So it's DP on pole, then Russell, Bearman, Sainz, Leclerc, Norris, Verstappen, Martins, Doohan and Gasly.

Race Result in Miami

the gaps are insane tho

Bearman won by 15.7 seconds
Stroll in P7 was 25.2 behind

Then Daruvala in P8 was a minute and half a second behind.

[fallow breach]

35.3 seconds between Stroll and Daruvala.

Stroll was closer to the win than to the car behind.

Drivers Championship after Miami

and the race by race breakdown at a quarter of the way through the season

yes that is a 26 point gap between the top 5 you are seeing

i think the xenon dominance is over

Here's the constructors championship

[floral apex]

I think this frequent maxing out is proving the f1 game's "reg changes" don't work

[fallow breach]

And a detailed breakdown of said constructors championship

definitely a 3 way fight

[fallow breach]

i was genuinely praying for a reg change going into 2029 bc of how close the r&d chart was getting

but what 2029 lacked in reg changes it certainly made up for in driver transfers

[fallow breach]

For the first time in i think 2 years Red Bull are ahead of VCARB

[floral apex]

Lmao

[floral apex]

Just barely

Its gonna take Sauber another 2 or 3 seasons to catch up to everyone tho

[fallow breach]

ngl tho i think 2029 is gonna be a banger season looking at the championships

[floral apex]

You're pretty much gonna get natural equal performance in that save

[fallow breach]

The above one was coming out of Miami.. this is into Imola

RED BULL ARE MAKING STRIDES.

and finally, i think we have our explanation as to how aston have come good as of this season

[primal drift]

just like the manager games, feels like drivers make more of a difference than car performance

[fallow breach]

yeah

under my personal control the only things that can stop dp are wing damage and engine failures

which are rare

ish

but when i sim the races now it seems theres a gravitational force pulling dp down from the top

there is a distinct difference between player controlled races and simmed races if you look at DP's breakdown

[primal drift]

I just sim everything

[fallow breach]

looking back ngl xenon did oscar dirty

s5 was oscar's best season on wins and points... and he got dropped bc lando won 4 of the last 6 races and xenon saw him as a threat to their dominance

...only for their dominance to be lost to a close fight anyway in 2029

...the what ifs begin to roll in.

Anyway, DP is on the hunt for pole position number 99 as we head to Imola.

[fallow breach]

i started off the xenon save by doing that in most of s1 and some of s2

To begin quali in Imola.

[floral apex]

the bahrain gp is next in my save
it was initially scheduled to be the 2nd to last affiliate fp1 session but i opted to move it to Qatar given Bahrain was too close to the previous one (Belgium)

Who will have pole? It's between the Xenons, McLarens, Red Bulls, Aston Martins, and then the lone Alpine of Vesti and the lone Mercedes of Leclerc.

ARTHUR LECLERC BEATS LANDO NORRIS IN QUALIFYING!

DP will have pole 99 from Sainz, Verstappen, Russell, Daruvala, Bearman, Stroll, Leclerc, Norris and Vesti.

And who will win in Imola?? 16 racing laps ahead of us, to decide which one of many contenders in this season will come out on top this time.

[floral apex]

aint no way

[floral apex]

sibling rivalry boutta go hard after this one

[fallow breach]

[fallow breach]

both. haas cars. in the points.

[fallow breach]

nice!

[raven fern]

i had a 5 sec penalty and i tryharded so much to not go down to 6th place because of the penalty

[fallow breach]

Time to begin quali in Monaco.

It is wet 👀

[floral apex]

here are some sneak peeks for my 2032 lineups:

• Alpine, Audi, Haas and Red Bull will run an all-new lineup
• Ferrari, VCARB and Williams run one new driver

it looks like we'll be losing one driver as well

no new rookies tho

also i just noticed i instinctively said "all 10 teams have a driver contracted", forgetting this was a custom team save with 11 teams

[floral apex]

i mean what do you expect out of Monaco

[raven fern]

I'm considering switching Hauger mid season

some season 3 results so far if you want to see

[floral apex]

bros lacking

[raven fern]

season 2 for comparison

(look at my boy fernando)

he got switched for sargeant bruh

[floral apex]

literally me with alpine

[raven fern]

and season 1 (i got so many DNFs in season 1 and 2 lmao)

2222 laps

[fallow breach]

Q1, Sainz tops the session from Verstappen and Norris; DP goes P10.

lol pelley's name got slightly cut off

"Romeo Pellegrin"

[floral apex]

in my save its the mercedes and alpines that share the back of the grid

they got one point between both teams

[raven fern]

LET'S GO GUNTHER (I KNOW IT'S AYAO BUT LET'S GO GUNTHER)

[raven fern]

dude on my Williams save Mercedes is ass as well

[fallow breach]

rare sight of lando norris on track

[floral apex]

damn full wets

[fallow breach]

it was actually a changeover to inters

their first laps were full wet

DP didnt go out on inters and still got through

As did Verstappen and Sainz

[raven fern]

also i forgot that i went into the dutch gp without switching my MGU-H for a new one cuz i had around 74% wear

[fallow breach]

Out in Q2:
Doohan
Martins
Gasly
Daruvala
Leclerc
Tsunoda

[raven fern]

and for 69 laps i was just praying for it to not explode

[floral apex]

damn 6 different teams

both alpines, williams, haases and saubers not in q3

[fallow breach]

so in Q3 it's:
2 McLarens
2 Xenons
2 Aston Martins
1 Ferrari
1 Mercedes
1 VCARB
1 Red Bull

i think that might be one of the better qualis for doohan btw

when he got that p9 before, he took a penalty and started p19

First run Q3 its inters.

Carlos Sainz has pole position for the Monaco Grand Prix, and Xenon will start 2-3, with Norris on the front row.

Stroll is P4, then Verstappen, Russell, Leclerc, Bearman, Hamilton and Pourchaire.

6-8 for McLaren is a nightmare quali!

XDPU Monaco race result

[floral apex]

well at least its a 2-4

[fallow breach]

yeah

tbh im not expecting double podiums from xenon any more

tbh i was quite happy with norris getting that p8 in the sprint in i think it was miami after his sq2 exit

i've come to terms with the fact the title is going to be much closer this season

[floral apex]

gotta start pushing the mclarens off the track

[fallow breach]

also sainz does the bottlejob from pole

dp was hunting for pole number 100 - that's probably coming in Canada now

but a 3->4 is still a good weekend

Drivers Championship after Monaco

Constructors Championship after Monaco

[floral apex]

8 races and 1 sprint remain
abbi leads by 42 points over verstappen

[fallow breach]

i find it really funny looking at things:

• how contrasting 2029 is to the last 3 seasons for xenon
• the whole "Piastri replaced by Norris to sustain dominance" arc was all for nothing
• -> furthermore to this, Piastri got cut after his best season.

[floral apex]

her lead got reduced significantly after george russell decided not to use his brakes properly on a safety car restart which damaged her gearbox

[fallow breach]

and interesting as well how the title is so close now

[fallow breach]

Damn

[floral apex]

abbi ended up running back of the grid before i retired her car on the final lap

[primal drift]

abbi was his brakes

[fallow breach]

interestingly, sainz's miami-imola-monaco run in 2029 was identical on gp finishes to bearman's 2028 run in the same races

[floral apex]

the last time a sunwest 2nd driver beat the 1st driver was Tsunoda on Gasly in 2025

[fallow breach]

nice segue into a reminder that in xdpu the Hungarian GP is back for 2029 but the Spanish GP goes for the same reasons Hungary did in 2028

[floral apex]

they finally fixed the funding issues at jeddah
nothing from qatar tho

[fallow breach]

bruh red bull are gone

[floral apex]

and unfortunately so is Xenon

[fallow breach]

see i dont mind it being red bull being far ahead of xenon

bc red bull have not been there for the titles at all since 2024

[floral apex]

Sauber is definitely gonna take until S10 before they catch up to the rest of the grid

[fallow breach]

whereas mclaren have been top 2 every year since 2025, maybe even 2024

[floral apex]

bruh im seeing like a bit of an optical illusion where williams appears to be slightly higher than haas

[fallow breach]

might be bc i took the picture from a slight angle

[floral apex]

jeez 200k R&D points

[fallow breach]

i mean we're maxed except for a supplier upgrade

what are we meant to do

donate them

[floral apex]

another reason as to why the F1 game's R&D system is poor

at least f1 manager actually uses the irl R&D system of wind tunnel time and CFD time

and not picking upgrades to very specific parts

also the 2031 reg change in my save prevented anyone (specifically me) from maxing out the car

[fallow breach]

time now for the Canadian GP in xdpu!

[floral apex]

hm for the first time i managed to research more than what the regulation change reduces

[fallow breach]

btw dp has driver acclaim level max verstappen (33)

[floral apex]

FIA really decided "screw it, -5%"

[floral apex]

this was an insanely good battle last season

i kinda have a reason to include logos

theres two leclercs at different teams and i need to distinguish those

[raven fern]

do i use a flashback to get out of a crash in Q2 (im gonna be right back in a few minutes so i'm putting up some sort of a vote

[fallow breach]

if i crash i typically restart the session bc i have flashbacks disabled

[raven fern]

ye i used to as well

[fallow breach]

he is rapidly approaching hamilton's record - at this point Hamilton is 44 and in an inferior car that can't fight for poles + he hasn't gotten pole in nearly 6 years atp

[fallow breach]

"It has been an absolutely flawless run, to convert his 100th pole to another win! It's 5 on the season, and the sort of dominance you would have seen last season is showing through once again, as DP comes out of the final corner to win the Canadian Grand Prix!"

"Looking at the starting grid here, we have DP on pole position, and Sainz completes the front row. For the rest of the grid we have: Bearman, Russell. Norris and Verstappen. Daruvala's in P7, followed by Srroll, Leclerc, and Leclerc."

[fallow breach]

"...Stroll, Leclerc, Leclerc (in a different tone).."

the smooth operator carlos sainz completes the front row

[raven fern]

Commentator: Stark and Leclerc have collided! Leclerc is out of the race it seems, we cane see a hole in the sidepod of the CAD1, the entire turn one is blocked by the cars, and here's the red flag!

[floral apex]

"Stroll, Leclair and Leclerk"

[fallow breach]

"And we go racing for the sprint in Spielberg!"

[raven fern]

Commentator: Stark goes into gravel on Turn 7 due to the pressure from Stroll, he spins out and what is that! Verstappen and Piastri collide, Piastri is out of the race as he sits on the exit of Turn 7, it's going to be another red flag!

Commentator: and of course it is him, the man, the legend, Lando Norris stalls on the start, and block every car behind which gets Stark to P4 from P11 even before turn 1!

[floral apex]

damn norris bottling starts

[raven fern]

alright he didn't stall i think but it kinda looks like he did

Sadly Slovak isn’t that popular, even in Slovakia itself

[floral apex]

i think pellegrini could fix that

[raven fern]

[floral apex]

[quaint badger]

Guys us f1 24 worth it right now?

[lyric scaffold]

[fallow breach]

ingame the Hungary result from last night has been voided, all the results are dashes and the points scored there have been deducted

i have the results still saved in my fgc app

should i just keep using fgc and ignore the ingame standings or should i void hungary in the lore as well? i've thought of a decent reason in my head for it

[fallow breach]

i think until i get another opinion on this im gonna just keep the fgc result

Belgian GP 2029.

Norris qualifies P4 but takes a 5 place penalty.

Sargeant starting P21 post penalty and Martins starting P22 post penalty also take penalties, i think 10 places each

[quaint hare]

he was in 3 seperate in less than 1,5 seasone

[quaint hare]

[fallow breach]

[quaint hare]

Leclerc

[fallow breach]

He did get up to P2 but he smashed into the back of DP in sector 2 and had to pit for mediums.

Enzo Fittipaldi is on a charge for Haas rn, he's up to P13!

[red wadi]

I might’ve just done the most dominant LeMans 24h ever

[rapid glade]

Shud i buy F1 24?

[red wadi]

I might redo it on max AI

[fallow breach]

bro how is enzo fittipaldi p12 in a haas

only Piastri has pitted and he did on lap 1

[red wadi]

Bc I won……. BY 5 LAPS

Yes sure it was a 4h race but still

Rey Longford was absurdly fast again

[floral apex]

bruh lmao

[red wadi]

Tbf 90% of the LMP2 class didn’t make the 1st corner

P2 spun and the rest was history💀

Only the top 3 made the full race apparently

[floral apex]

pellegrini absolutely bottled a chance at huge points in jeddah

[fallow breach]

uh... yeah dp crashed

[floral apex]

at one point during the jeddah gp i saw both VCARBs 3-4

and then red bull showed up and took that away from them

[floral apex]

and then pellegrini does a pit stop with like 6 laps left pushing him out of the points?!?!?

[fallow breach]

bruh pelley

[floral apex]

he really saw what we did last season and went "i can do that too!"

[floral apex]

hm tasty wall

one thing i found out about Jeddah was it isn't exactly refined for an 11th team right now

[red wadi]

Time to drop the results

[floral apex]

time to keep pushing through the season
only 6 races remain

Ferrari could soon hop into the mix with Red Bull

Leclerc's a good driver, and Sargeant behind the wheel of the Ferrari is looking promising

i mean hes just scored more points in 1 race than he did his whole career at williams in 2023-28

[floral apex]

oh yeah this will also be the last Qatar GP for the forseeable future

[floral apex]

mans just good

[quaint hare]

WTF

[fallow breach]

oh yeah this happened in the Hungarian gp on the game
i still have the hungary results saved in the fgc
but i was thinking about voiding it with a lore reason before and i was wanting other opinions on it

[floral apex]

the hungary results didnt save or

[fallow breach]

yeah but the game progressed regardless

[floral apex]

odd

guess you could say the race got called off for some reason

[fallow breach]

i had that happen once in a save i did pre-dpm

[floral apex]

yes this game is very perfect and totally doesnt have any bugs

[fallow breach]

I mean as i said i still have the result saved in the fgc

maybe it could be something that happened that caused the fia to launch an investigation and later void the race completely

[floral apex]

crashgate but it affected the entire race and not just one team

[fallow breach]

my first thought was corrupted/hacked race control systems that caused the data to be lost though the teams had already moved on from the venue

im thinking either that or an in-race scandal

[floral apex]

the timekeeper equipment failed which caused the fia to find a new timekeeper

rolex forgot to do maitnenance or something

[fallow breach]

so like losing everything bc timing data failed mid race?

[floral apex]

but i mean if it happened mid race they wouldve probably red flagged it cuz of how serious the issue is

and the fans definitely wouldve noticed it too if the timing scrreens went blank

[fallow breach]

Hungarian GP voided due to timing issues; DP reclaims championship lead in retroactive updates

[floral apex]

last night i was putting in the Q1 eliminations and i accidentally went "Fourchaire" for Fournier

Updated Championship Standings documentation (pictures) to follow.

[floral apex]

i like how they made a little pattern between the two red bulls

[fallow breach]

ah yes, 5 different teams: sunwest, sunwest, red bull, audi and racing bulls

[floral apex]

i meant 10

[fallow breach]
