THATS CRAZY
so what happened was:
- Piastri hit Max while making an overtake
- the contact caused the cars behind to slow down suddenly
- Gasly ends up rear-ending Doohan as a result of this
rematch from abu dhabi 2024 irl
I had something like that once in Monaco.
And of course the drivers who rear ended each other were the legendary Haas line-up.
It was Wenzel who rear ended Gallardo.
Emilia Romagna qualifying result of my My Team career
good work
nice
okay so Oscar's penalty demotes him to P12
Max is P4
Sasaki, Fournier and Russell are the 5 through 7
and Tsunoda, Hauger, Vesti and Stroll are the 8 through 11
starting grid for the 2027 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix
YOOOO THE TRIPLE
him again 
Final WDC
Norris is P21 with 1 point, Doohan is P22 with 0 points
also i neglected to acknowledge Piastri's penalty also gave Mercedes their first and only point this season
Strategies are for both 
.
Final WCC
Mercedes are P11 with 1 point
ok pit stops are a bit insane
Alpine are P11 with 57 points
and here are the F2 drivers standings
and heres F3
this was a very good quali because of our pu. p9 is great. lando norris on pole.
(yes we dropped the sunwest name from trident)

Introducing the Sunwest F1 Team SW09!
Bottas locked up.
are you in 2033 right now?
Got to P7, but sustained heavy wing damage so is into the pits on lap 4.
2032
and the new Sunwest White race suit
and now the moment you've all probably been waiting for
the 2032 driver lineups
from the back of the grid
From dead last on the grid, DP takes the lead on lap 11, with a masterful move on Carlos Sainz!
Mercedes retain Doohan and Vesti
Alpine run an all-new lineup of Russell and Hauger, while Piastri replaces Leclerc at Ferrari
Lawson replaces Hauger at VCARB and Aston Martin retain their lineup
Ocon replaces Pourchaire at Williams, and Haas runs an all-new lineup of Maloney and Albon
Audi runs an all-new lineup of Antonelli and Gasly, while McLaren retain their lineup
Kimi is back!
yoooo
and finally Sunwest retain their lineup, and Red Bull runs an all-new lineup of Tsunoda and Pourchaire
Leclerc gone.๐ญ
yoooo Tsunoda finally got the red bull drive ๐ฅ
Emilia Romagna race result of my My Team career
leaving the sport this season are: Leclerc and Norris iirc
current championship standings
and yes, Abbi now runs the #1 and Max is back to #33
oh look only 5 affiliates]
should i ruin it by signing more
I see there not enough Trident drivers.
ok you want to know whats funny with trident
last season Trident F2 had one Sunwest and one Audi affiliate
this year they still have one Sunwest affiliate but another Audi affiliate
lol
also we dropped the sunwest name from trident
Emilia Romagna pit stops of my My Team career
bruhh
current DHL fastest pit stop award standings
theres is only one F3 driver signed to an F1 team
and its mine 
wait no theres two Red Bulls and an Audi in there whoops
and an Aston
they say F3 is a huge stepping stone for promising F1 drivers
but how can they do that when no F1 team wants to support F3?
ok im gonna sign the other available Trident F3 driver and then sign some other F3 drivers
ill put a 0.1x breakout multiplier so hopefully i can have some poaching battles

what is this name
some cooking, some uncooking, some perpetual mid
A name. Maybe
so on an origin checker it says she's Irish
the database editor shows British
but i want to sign some random F3 drivers to the team so i offered her a contract
Francois Schmitt also gets an offer
"It has been an incredibly unpredictable Grand Prix in the Austrian Alps, and at multiple points, for this man to come through and win the Grand Prix seemed like an absolutely outlandish prediction, but here at the chequered flag, he's shown the world why he's won the World Championship the last four years running. An absolute masterclass of performance behind the wheel, to run the tables, and from dead last on the grid, DP wins the Austrian Grand Prix!"
Mia Bernard gets an offer
"And behind, Carlos Sainz finishes second, to draw level with Ollie Bearman for the lead of the World Championship!"
bro Sunwest is showing some all-out support for F3 here lmao
Emilia Romagna F2 qualifying result of my My Team career
Oliver Goethe wins the Emilia Romagna F2 sprint race!๐ฅณ
i wonderi f abbi is going to dominate this season or if max can get back into the fight
Emilia Romagna F2 feature race result of my My Team career
ok this game really insists on ending the season in December 
current F2 championship standings
we have a SIX week break between Baku and Bahrain 
okay guys..
THIS is the ai that i have been struggling with to stay on p17 in brazil??
XDPU 2030 Austria Race Result
yes. Youโre better at some tracks than others
The inconsistency of the AI track to track is ridiculously bad.
BUT with that result Leclerc and Norris have the same amount of points going into the LAST race.
no. Youre the inconsistent one. Youre better at some tracks and worse at others
verstappen technically still has the chance of winning, but norris and leclerc are the most likely one
why is your mentality to always blame the player and not the game
That's bad balanced AI.
Dead last, disqualified in qualifying, to the win, and the win by 7 seconds, while Esteban Ocon beats Lewis Hamilton once again.
brazil is a good track for me
It used to be a lot better balanced in previous games.
and still i was struggling to stay on p17
Like I'm definitely not good in Miami.
f1 2018 was so good
But I cooked the AI there.
guys
some tracks i absolutely hate the pit entry for but i can drive them quite well for the most part
Because they're slow as fuck in the 2nd sector.
because althought todays ai are shitty its still the player that makes the biggest difference
now the last race in abu dhabi
idk about their form but blindly i'd say maybe lando
In older games the AI was very well balanced, you could play a whole season on the same AI level and had quite consistent results, like with a midfield car you never got to the top teams.
If you set the AI level correct.
their results all season
XDPU 2030 Driver Standings after Austria
looking at form im gonna double down and say lando
Now you set the AI level correct, I was with the Alpine in the midfield but in Miami all of a sudden I was on pole.
And I'm not good in Miami.
I literally suck in the 1st sector.
Yet the AI is so slow in sector 2 there that it more than equalized that.
What i do have to say is that the ai in monaco is often just way too fast. Thats one track where the devs messed up big
las vegas was btw the first race any of my teammates didnt finish deadlast
XDPU 2030 Constructor Standings after Austria
so you did choose to ruin the "few affiliates" thing by signing more
Meanwhile I just try to sign the F2 and F3 champions.
yes
Xenon enter negotiations with Carlos Sainz
Xenon have signed Carlos Sainz to replace George Russell at mid-season
pls tell me he wasn't at McLaren 
he was at Aston
AND I WOULDVE WON
...the only team ahead of Xenon in the constructors 
Atleast ocon got p6
If you can't beat them, join destroy them.
Emilia Romagna F3 qualifying result of my My Team career
10 YEARS AFTER HIS FIRST PODIUM HE GOT HIS SECOND PODIUM AT THE SAME TRACK
oops
caps still on
oh wait
Sargent got points
max got p15
i like how this is still in the order of the 2031 championship
Emilia Romagna F3 sprint race result of my My Team career
XDPU 2030 Mid-Season Changes:
Russell out of a seat
Sainz
-> [Xe]
Hulkenberg (free agency) -> 
Hauger out of a seat
Magnussen (free agency) -> 
Emilia Romagna F3 feature race result of my My Team career
i just got the design center improvement thing
unfortunately i already used up my entire pre-season ATR allocation
current F3 championship standings
bro kmag to ferrari means their pairing by driver numbers is 420 
also hulk to aston means both their driver numbers are multiples of 9 which is pretty cool
18 and 27
"so how much sponsorship cash do you want"
"yes"
xenon are still too rich for their own good 
they have 533 million in the bank
Our team finally has a decent balance as well.
33.8 million right now
And I even spent some money on facilities.
sorry in advance carlos, the simulated results for us are always appalling, wave goodbye to your title hopes until either a reg change improves us or until you leave the team
it is time for the 2032 Australian GP!
But the income now is good enough that we don't get into financial trouble.
2030 British GP for me
ok how perfect is this 
max is 34 right now and his regular number is 33
abbi is 22 right now and her regular number is 21
ocon has 2 points more than lewis
look at thst comparison
kick sauber getting kicked cleanly off the track
Lando Norris is on Pole in Abu Dhabi. And Leclerc only starts in 4th place.
this looks so unreal
they finished a minute behind the winner in spain while gasly who was in p20 was like half that
i did say it would take sauber until S10 to catch up to everyone 
rain in abu dhabi
they definitely arent catching up 
race suit with red or gold?
meanwhile now one upgrade for haas (if its possible, idk the ai teams' r&d predicaments) could see them in like 3rd on the grid
i think the gold looks better
i emphasise them and not Alpine bc Alpine have been 3rd before
The gold looks so clean
it probably helps that that section just so happens to have a metallic texture to it
my 2032 race suit is like williams 2024
not much team color on it 
its actually time for the Australian GP!
title fight is cooking rn
ok ill showcase some stuff in FP2 cuz the AI teams decided they'd send out affiliates in FP1... in Australia... the opening round
Quali eesults are all over the place
Ferrari of hamilton. P3
Ferrari of sainz. P15
max p5. Kmag p19
antonelli just got his return to F1 and Audi was like "nope, you're sitting out FP1"
Stroll p4
now i expected hauger to be dropped
i mean 2 points in 11 races and 3 sprints in a ferrari is wild
but how the hell did checo survive the midseason with mclaren?? 42 points in a car that's topping the championship with their other driver is crazy underachievement
i guess every team treats checo like red bull did
"he sucks but we have to keep him"
i actually don't know what the performance order is
i'll finish the australian gp then ill check the database editor
in terms of xdpu, mclaren are in a similar place to ferrari
its literally FP1 Liam 
i saw he ran wide so i assume he's already damaged his floor
if theres anything to get from FP1 its that Mercedes are still slow
ok FP2
as the lap times pour in im seeing some interesting results
this just looks so weird
Out in Q1 in Silverstone:
Gasly
Daruvala
Fittipaldi
Martins
and, say it with me,
Iwasa
Zhou
heres the new Sunwest out on track
exactly 3 teams out in q1
imagine being one of these F3 drivers and recieving a contract offer from the reigning F1 world champions to join their academy
Out in Q2 in Silverstone:
Bearman
Maloney
Tsunoda
Magnussen
Ocon
Pourchaire
and LANDO NORRIS WON HIS FIRST WDC
HELL YEAH I GOT IT RIGHT
leclerc got 2nd with 5 sec behind norris
and verstappen sixth
kobayashi wasnt deadlast again
๐
but with that result ferrari won the wcc
congratulations, you get a cookie! ๐ช
if FP2 is anything to go by then VCARB is potentially fast
DP has pole in Silverstone from Piastri, Verstappen, Norris and Hamilton. Perez is P6, then Stroll, Sainz, Hulkenberg and Doohan.
and for the next season Pierre Gasly will be my teammate.
gaslyyyyyyy
pierreeeeeee gaslyyyyyyyy
Kevin Magnussen now has retired.
time for quali

Eliminated in Australia Q2: Iwasa, Ocon, Sainz, Stroll, Gasly, Maloney
"DP gets a good start, but Piastri gets a better start, he's alongside, and Max Verstappen is right there too - IT'S THREE WIDE INTO TURN 1! There's contact but no damage! Max Verstappen leads the British Grand Prix from Oscar Piastri who now gets passed by DP, and DP now comes to take it from Verstappen, and the pole sitter maintains his starting position, while the Red Bulls have inverted, as we come onto the Wellington straight for the first time!"
Australia Q3 Top 10: Verstappen, Pulling, Russell, Piastri, Bearman, Pourchaire, Tsunoda, Sasaki, Fournier, Pellegrini
its an all wet Australian GP
and the Australian GP is under way!
Bearman and Tsunoda are out
Tsunoda gets a 5 second penalty for taking out Bearman
Safety Car in on Lap 6
Max gets floor damage!
Pellegrini locks up and drops to P15!
Verstappen passes Pourchaire for P3
Verstappen passes Piastri for P2

oh yeah i forgot to mention
very dark red Ferrari
Gasly and Russell round out the points scorers
Pellegrini, Antonelli and Iwasa are 11-13
and the Haas pair of Albon and Maloney are the last across the line
Lawson, Vesti, Doohan, Stroll and Hauger are all lapped
my F1M race
beautiful
interesting things have happened since the last time i spoke of this gp with the 3 wide at turn 1 lap 1
its now lap 12
DP still leads
ok here is the actual performance chart
Mercedes are in fact at the back
like pretty damn far back
Lando jumped Max, Bearman is up to P4, Sainz is 5th, Ocon from 15th is P6, then Piastri goes from the front row to P7, Magnussen is up to 8th, Doohan is 9th and Tsunoda is 10th.
Stroll is running last after driving strangely slow at the middle but not retired, then Perez is P20 having taken an extra stop, but Hamilton just retired from the race on lap 11.

we know gasly is insane
WDC Update after Australia 2032
bros come a long way from "poorchaire"
WCC Update after Australia 2032
i forgot to update my entry list with the negine suppliers
the database editor doesn't like Renault apparently
cuz in the game it actually shows Renault for a bunch of the teams
Complete entry list for 2032 (i forgot to fix Haas)
All Sunwest title sponsors:
Samsung (2024)
Verizon (2025)
Schneider Electric (2026-27)
Marriott International (2028-31)
DHL (2032)
gasly p5 after start
Im so happy i upgraded my ERS. I have so much ERS now and i dont constantly run out
I just realized every one of Max's Sunwest teammates has had a first name ending in 'i'
Xenon title sponsors:
none (2024-27)
Polor (2028-30)
Yuki, Kimi and Abbi
That was why i gave the hint that both Audi drivers have one team in common but never raced together on the same team
ahhh right
that makes a lot of sense
im thinking when 2031 comes about in xdpu im gonna change the team's primary sponsor under the guise of a buyout
its not a case of bankruptcy thats for sure 
I just realized all of my drivers keep going to Audi 
Yuki went to Audi after we replaced him
and now Pierre and Kimi are driving for them
even if we changed drivers at every opportunity in negotiations, pouring out 100m each time on their contract (probably not even possible to do) xenon wouldnt go bankrupt
Yuki ans Kimi have similar career paths after joining Sunwest lmao
what is yukis career path from sunwest
Yuki drove for Sunwest for 3 years
Kimi drove for Sunwest for 4 years
Both spent a year outside of F1
and both returned to F1 with Audi
and now yuki is at red bull
pls dont tell me kimi's also going to red bull in 4 years 
That would actually be so funny lol
The only Sunwest driver who won't end up at Audi after leaving us is Max
Because he'll be retired by then

ok i just looked through the entry lists
Lawson is ar VCARB now
But he actually drove for Red Bull im 2027
He really did a reverse Red Bull career path
I forgot to complain about how Imola always is a borefest so that this time it isn't.
Because it once again was a borefest.
Apart from the 2 engine failures nothing happened.
mans lacking on the reverse physchology 
i'm still impressed by how the game keeps putting my ex-drivers at Audi once they leave my team
Is there like a clause in your contracts you have overseen the whole time?
Magnussen spun into the wall and out of SQ2.
like Tsunoda was an Audi driver
and now they have Gasly and Antonelli
Then there was an issue with the jacks or the pit release at Russell's pit stop.
Should I do Spa 2030 in the XDPU or should I go back to the sim save
Spa then the sim save bc spa will be summer shutdown
Imola even ended Gasly's DNF streak.
Then Gasly locked up into the wall and out of the race.
Quali in Spa! Any predictions?
dp ahead of sainz?
fun fact: my save has had only one midseason transfer
And thats when i replaced logan with franco for williams
Speaking of Logan, his streak of appearing every two seasons was broken this year
Then Magnussen had an engine failure, taking him out of the race.
is this an f1m save or an f1 codemasters game?
meant to reply to this
Then Pourchaire and Ollie came together.
yeah i was gonna make a point of that
that f1m saves dont naturally have midseason transfers
I actually once had one.
Aston Martin once signed Lawson as an affiliate mid-season.
Then Lawson locked up into Bottas, taking both out of Q1.
INSANE DROPZONE IN Q1
Out in Q1:
Hamilton
Perez
Magnussen
Doohan
Iwasa
Zhou
Both Williams, both Haas and both Alpine cars survive?!
Then there was an issue with removing the front left tire at Russell's pit stop.
also, Ollie Bearman and Oscar Piastri were provisionally in the drop zone until they produced laps to go 2 and 3.
Nico Hulkenberg is (at least provisionally) ahead of Verstappen.
that man has been absolutely everywhere 
Then Pourchaire had an engine failure, taking him out of the race.
if we take into account his irl career pre 2024 as well
I wonder if pellegrini will get a seat in 2033
Then Sainz had an engine failure, taking him out of the race.
he started at Williams, then went to Force India, then Sauber, then back to Force India, then to Renault, then as a reserve for Racing Point/Aston Martin, then he got the drive at Haas. | in the XDPU save then, he went to VCARB in 2025. Got dropped from VCARB i think 2 or 3 years later, spent half a season on the sidelines then got a Ferrari drive. Got dropped again, sidelined for another half season before getting a drive with Aston Martin 
Bro keeps getting dropped
And then there was an issue with fitting on the rear left tire at Lawson's pit stop.
bro has raced in what is now aston martin through so many stages of their career
he raced for them as force india twice
he subbed for them as racing point
he subbed in irl as aston martin
and now he has a drive in aston
i forgot to go out in the early stages of q2 so i just sat in the garage watching their runs and.. what.
Aston Martin provisional session 1-2, with Stroll P1.
Gabi's Sprint win in Miami
Bearman P3 then Verstappen, then Norris, Sainz, Piastri, Tsunoda and Ocon.
Maloney is P10 so he'll be in the dropzone after my run. Then it's Daruvala, Gasly, Fittipaldi, Martins and Pourchaire
yeahhhh nvm
he spun on his lap
had to fix wing damage
meaning insufficient time for another run
therefore DP is out in Q2
and starts P16, pending penalties ahead.
Out in Q2:
Daruvala
Gasly
Fittipaldi
Martins
Pourchaire
[Xe] DP
i like how to include our saves, reddawn created an entire new lore company and driver
but to include bvbocon he just signed esteban 

i mean the opportunity was right there
and he took it
there werent really many seamless links already existing
should we pretend Sunburst (one of Xenons secondary sponsors) is Sunwest?
OOH MAYBE THEY COULD BUY OUT XENON 
imagine
or even just leaving them as sunburst thats an interesting arc
Sunburst-Xenon F1 Team ๐
dont have sunwest buy out your team
The next time you show up at the factory there will be 10 affiliate drivers sitting in the meeting room 
i've been looking for a way to incorporate some sort of affiliation 
DP has 124 poles and is going for win 69 in Spa
maybe pole 125 and win 70 come at the same gp???
That would give him a pole-win rate of exactly 56%
"The Championship leader lines up in P16 while Bearman, his closest competitor, is on pole. But can DP pull a masterclass again to win from behind? It's time to find out, as the lights come on... and the drivers go off to turn number 1 in Spa!"
Hamilton out
Terminal damage
DP 10 sec penalty for a collision with Hulkenberg
but DP is up to P10
Severe wing damage + additional 10 second penalty for DP, collision with Ocon under SC
Verstappen, Norris, Maloney, Daruvala, Stroll, Gasly, Pourchaire, Perez and Zhou pit under SC
So current order under SC:
Bearman, Sainz, Piastri, Hulkenberg, Tsunoda, Ocon, Fittipaldi, DP
, Martins, Doohan, Magnussen, Iwasa, Verstappen, Norris, Maloney, Daruvala, Stroll, Gasly, Pourchaire, Perez and Zhou (Hamilton out)
the ocon affair in particular was a bit of an unfair penalty
i might have to restart if it comes down to that
DP comes in on lap 2 into 3 to serve 10 seconds of his penalty + wing replacement
bvbocons goat causing issues in both of our saves 
i will say the ocon thing was a problem of my car being really light to brake, which causes him to smash into cars at high speed while trying to stay behind them
its happened to me under a lot of safety cars
18 second pit stop?!?
yes
but it was under sc so on the restart lap i was right there with the field
DP has to pit again for ANOTHER wing change + he's probably having to take the other 10 seconds
so its probably another 18 second stop
but gasly was like 10 seconds behind DP then Zhou was like a further 20
so it'll be fine
Zhou got slightly ahead of DP on DP's pit exit
nope
wrong part of track
DP breezes past on the Kemmel straight
sometimes it surprises me on ho2 much of the spa circuit is flat out
...yeah bit of a disaster that one
got into battle with gasly and Iwasa
front wing broken again.
not taking a third pit stop in 11 laps no way
so i limp home for p18
Lando Norris wins the Belgian Grand Prix
bruh
max/lando top 2
zane maloney almost got a fucking podium.

yeah but behind them is crazy

Qualifying at imola went well with the worst car on the grid
nice!
i like how i got this sponsor mod
but i dont know what half of these sponsors are 
and theres also a bunch of sponsors from f1 history like West and Marlboro
Carlos Sainz wins the Las Vegas Grand Prix in a Ferrari 1-2
Reg changes into s2 in the sim save, to chassis and powertrain
Mercedes becomes the top car into Qatar
Russell uses this to win the sprint.
PEREZ IS ON POLE?
red bull front row as max is p2
Leclerc wins the Qatar Grand Prix
Meaning he leads the championship and is exactly 26 points ahead of Max. If Charles scores he wins the title. If Max doesn't win with FL, Charles wins the title.
Charles Leclerc doesn't finish the Grand Prix, but Verstappen doesn't meet the criteria to take the title, so he still wins!
Russell wins in Abu Dhabi from Alonso and Sainz.
you know its insane when you can literally see individual rain drops
romeo so goated he finished p23 in a 22 car championship rahhhh
theoretically on paper haas are ahead of red bull into bahrain s2
btw only driver change was kmag out hauger in at haas
yeah
haas ahead of red bull
yep
Alonso wins the Bahrain GP
i'll do saudi then do quali for xdpu zandvoort
then call it a night
Lando Norris wins the Saudi Arabian GP from Piastri and Hamilton.
albon got fastest lap in a williams ๐ฆ
i tried to go out on softs but apparently its still inters weather
yes it did dry up by the time i started my hot lap
and i got pole
what are these gaps bruh 
I guess everyone else went out when it was still slightly wet
Time to qualify in Zandvoort.
i think DP should finally reveal his name
at the end of his 5th championship season
but i changed my mind on it actually being my name
Out in Q1 ๐ณ๐ฑ:
Daruvala
Pourchaire
Gasly
Doohan
Zhou
Iwasa
plot twist its the name reddawn used for his DP reference
counter twist it isn't
Out in Q2:
Hamilton
Tsunoda
Martins
Maloney
Fittipaldi
Norris
maybe
DP claims pole number 125 of his career.
Bearman is P2, then Verstappen, Sainz, Stroll, Piastri, Perez, Ocon, Magnussen and Hulkenberg.
no i don't
i like how you can just get blinded by the sun down the back straight of COTA
i just managed to hit a DRS detection point so perfectly i gave myself DRS but two cars behind me didn't get it
"smooth operator carlos sainz"
holyyyy i love f1 24 with mods
especially handling mods
when i warm the tires i actually donโt spin out anymore
letโs flipping go!!!
and the cars rear end never steps out when smoothly stepping on the throttle
especially out of hairpins
fastest lap in an alpine?!?!?!?
i find COTA to be a pretty enjoyable track to drive
ok what for the first time ever i kept the fastest lap through the first DRS lap
ok bruh my alpine on ERS only almost caught up with a Ferrari on DRS
Guess which mad lad didnโt do a 2h race but a 10h and decided watch WWE in the mean time
bruh
๐ฅ ๐ฅ
Miami is also pretty bad with this
i've had that a few times before
I've also had "a very happy Carlos Sainz" 
"Time for us to get underway for the Dutch Grand Prix, can DP bounce back or will he fall further away in his title hopes?"
No cars out yet, just many were stopped on track
Alonso is retiring. Again
damn. dp was the only one not to pit under sc
i thought "way too soon to pit, its only lap 2"
literally everyone else pitted
DP had to fight back, but he had his wing broken around the midfield
He could make it to the points, but only to P10.

Yuki Tsunoda is in Q3 in a Williams!
Another rain curtailed session sees us turn back the clocks a bit - Max Verstappen will have pole in Monza, and Lewis Hamilton is on the front row!
DP qualifies P3, from Bearman, Hulkenberg, Piastri, Norris, Tsunoda, Magnussen and Stroll.
Carlos only 13th, damn
Xenon 3-13 for causes out of their control
Verstappen, Hamilton and DP were way ahead of the rest. Verstappen was 0.113 over Hamilton, 0.272 over DP and 0.603 over Bearman.
i think something thats more 'damn' inducing is that the lead Mercedes in the championship Ocon is out in P14
LOOK AT THAT R&D CHART ๐ฅ
sauber ๐ 
realistic
everyone is SO CLOSE
then sauber
they have literally not developed all season
im sorta thinking thats their maxed out car 
Apart from the missing gap between top teams and midfield that's literally irl.
Magnussen takes a 10 place grid penalty and starts P19.
ferrari, mclaren, merc, aston, vcarb and xenon create a rainbow in the chart 
DP, HAMILTON AND VERSTAPPEN GO 3 WIDE INTO THE FIRST CHICANE!
DP AND VERSTAPPEN ARE OFF
DP gets going and rejoins in P8, but Verstappen can't! He is parked dangerously and thus disqualified from the Italian Grand Prix!
time for Monaco
So into the middle sector of the opening lap, it's Hamilton from Bearman, Hulkenberg, Piastri, Norris, Tsunoda, Stroll, DP, Doohan and Sainz.
DP passes Stroll through the Parabolica, and onto lap 2 he gets by Tsunoda and Norris and is up to P5.
Meanwhile Sainz is making moves in the other Xenon too, he passes Doohan for P9.
Onto lap 3, Bearman is past Hamilton for the lead, Piastri tries to make the move on Hulkenberg and can't, which opens the door for DP to move up into P4!
Ollie went wide into the wall.
But DP struggles through della Roggia and falls back to P5!
light chassis damage, severe front wing damage and light suspension damage
Hulkenberg and Piastri are battling into Ascari which allows DP to close right up on them! He makes the double move through the Parabolica and Piastri gets past Hulkenberg at the same time!
But that one isn't over yet, on the run towards Rettifilo, Hulkenberg is back ahead of Piastri.
DP sees the opportunity for another 3 wide but thinks better of it and tucks in behind Hamilton, there are many more opportunities coming.
damn
It's just FP1 and we already lost 2 front wings.
DP gets Hamilton into della Roggia and is right on the back of Bearman, he dives one to the inside at Ascari and goes up to the lead!
But Bearman does keep his foot in, through the Parabolica they're wheel to wheel!
And DP has made the move stick, he leads the Italian Grand Prix.
Piastri is past Hamilton!
It's a three way battle into turn 1
why it look gay in between redbull and haas?
literally this message points out the resemblance 
yeah. A rainbow has 7 colors. The lgbtq flag has 6. so this is lgbtq :3
nice representation from the f1 r&d performance chart there 
Piastri gets the upper hand.
Hamilton pits onto lap 6 which releases the other two to continue battle, meanwhile DP is 2 seconds clear in front.
Carlos Sainz jumped Oscar Piastri in the pits!
Current order lap 8:
DP, Bearman, Hamilton, Hulkenberg, Sainz, Piastri, Tsunoda, Stroll, Perez and Norris.
Beganovic went wide.
Antonelli replaced Verstappen in FP1 at Ferrari, Beganovic replaced Magnussen in FP1 at RB and Gallardo replaced Maloney in FP1 at Williams.
DP SPINS ON THE FINAL LAP! HE'S OUT!
damn
Overtake /10 ?
He had been CONTROLLING this race from the moment he took the lead, but he will not see the chequered flag!
Oliver Bearman wins the Italian Grand Prix!
Hamilton finishes 2nd, and Nico Hรผlkenberg will be on the podium!
"He took pole in his first season for Williams, endured long stints at Force India separated by a run at Sauber, he's been a super sub, he's been in the Red Bull ranks, he's been to Ferrari - he's done it all, but one thing he hasn't done is claiming a podium - until now! Nico Hulkenberg takes the chequered flag in third position, for his first podium, twenty years on fron his Formula One debut!"
...DP is now 51 points away from Bearman with 8 races to go.

after 6 races norris leads the championship by 10 points. He got 1 win and 1 12th place in the first 2 races

surpisingly. 5 different winners, 6 different fastest laps holder
how did this transpire
lando to merc
DP has managed to stay in the race through 3 laps in Baku
wing damage did cause a safety car
everyone pitted
new order is
Verstappen, DP, Hamilton, Piastri, Tsunoda, Gasly, Sainz, Daruvala, Stroll, Bearman, Iwasa, Norris, Martins, Doohan, Ocon, Hulkenberg, Maloney, Fittipaldi, Perez, Zhou, Magnussen and Pourchaire.

hi
this is how close the performance gaps are right now in my F1 23 save
i've been trying intermittently to do the Singapore gp for the last 2 and a half hours 
im finally on good track
no wing damage, on the penultimate lap
heres how the xdpu performance comparison is (literally nothing has changed from then to singapore)
sauber moment 
if there were 20 seasons in a save they wouldnt even catch up by s20 
they could have Hamilton and Verstappen on their team and theyd probably still be backmarkers
although to be fair, at this gp currently (singapore 2030) he is 32 nearly 33

DP finally wins a race again!
He takes the chequered flag in Singapore.
oh yeah dp got two dnfs in a row in monza and baku
funny how i signed a bunch of sponsors
and three of them start in P
add that with finishes of p18 in spa and p10 in Zandvoort
and it means singapore is DP's first win since silverstone
that monza dnf was on the last lap bruh
and at monza hulkenberg got p3
yep
hulk got a podium
lmao
Verstappen also got black flagged at monza
parked in a dangerous position
most chaotic gp since austria

tell you whos an even harder carry tho
lando for ferrari
he has had two different teammates this season
hauger scored 2 points
kmag has scored 16 so far
lando has 188
this season has been so high on scorers
21 drivers, 10 constructors with points.
and sauber is the 11th.
THEIR DRIVERS ARE P23 AND P24 IN A 22 CAR CHAMPIONSHIP.
average sauber experience
should i move onto cota in xdpu or should i do some more races in the sim save

i think you should keep going
btw the two mid season subs of magnussen and hulkenberg have scored points twice each.
kmag got 7th in silverstone and 5th in spa
nico got 3rd in monza and 4th in singapore
alr
i like how these two were also teammates at haas in 2024
and they were teammates at vcarb in 2025 in the career save too
our affiliates are literally all over the board in F3 
i do wonder whether Hamilton will retire any time soon in xdpu
if he does honestly yuki's made a solid candidacy at williams for the promotion
i just noticed how my affiliates list is exactly 50/50 men and women lol
PM-L opens office in Nottingham
PM-L have officially opened their office in Nottingham, in this office the finances are handled for example. Romeo rumoured to have been house hunting in Nottingham
sunwest racing: supporting gender equality since 2030
ok lol my drivers are top tier gender equality
got max and abbi in the main seats
and in the junior team 5 men and 5 women
Meanwhile PM-L sacked all their women drivers bc Acura bought the project๐ญ
sunwest: we support gender equality
pellegrini: fuuuu
and xenon are the epitome of poaching other drivers from rival teams (mainly mclaren)
i haven't seen many female staff members tho unfortunately
if there are they're low rated
we took oscar in 25
we took lando in 29
we took george in 30
but george underperformed so we sacked him
but bearman wasnt highly rated enough to appeal to xenon and checo is checo so we looked to aston and took sainz
breaking mclaren buy xenon as retaliation for them stealing their drivers
"ooh another mclaren driver almost won the title lets steal them"
Any predictions in COTA? its a sprint weekend btw

OH DAMNNN
i havent taken the time to look closely at the championships
i decided to have a look before jumping into the sprint.
that is insane, 4 points between the top 3.
and mclaren are only a further 15 back
a 1-2 in the sprint by some xenon catastrophe would absolutely bring mclaren right back in the fray
"The lights are on, and the drivers are off, ascending to the first turn for the sprint in Austin!"
