Anyone get a chance to play the demo of this last week?

Looks and sounds impressive but I think the lack of GT mode is really going to hurt this game.

I keep hearing it's not a full GT game (i.e. GT7) but for the price I would want a bit more than some driving school challenges and online lobbies.

We even had Ricciardo in the last race weaving down the straight and moving in the braking zone when defending from Vettel. I'm going by my memory here but I thought it was more a case of breaking at a bit of an angle back on to the traditional racing line rather adjusting his trajectory in the bre...

Just finished the Sprint championship where I was the WDC. However, there seem to be some discrepancies there. All the cars, even a McLaren Honda seem faster inspite of choosing the fastest setup. Even when I've got DRS, am unable to pass on pure speed. My late braking enables me to overtake. Now I...

I would rather ugly cars with safety features and an open expanse of run off area to ensure driver safety.

No one should risk injury or losing a life in the name of sport.

If they are they better hope they've not succumb to the dreaded middle aged spread as that cockpit looks rather cosy even by F1 standards.

According to en.F1i.com Kubica's fastest lap is .5 off Palmer's qualifying time. Its a 1.18.952 and he has 124 laps to his name. According to their live timing. Comparing Saturday's timings with anything that is recorded this week is pointless. At a guess they would look to see how his times compar...

True. But people tend to move whereas a wall would not!

Anyway, hopefully just a small blip. I wish him all the best for today and I for one would love to see him back in F1. Not only is he a talented driver but he was/is a very funny and likeable guy.

Very uncharacteristic of Kubica but all's forgiven! (Wait till the end)! 892642731582992384 Hopefully that is the only thing that goes wrong today. it's because of all the photographers. They are obstructing the exit of the pits. With the turning radius of F1 cars, you need to go all the way in fro...

Exactly. How does a VSC save a driver in a Henry Surtees kind of situation? Incidentally, something one of the Radio 5 live commentators stood out. The older drivers who have seen it all are pretty reserved in their comments whereas the playstation generation seem to be quite outspoken. The reckles...

Interesting to hear Max say that introduction of the VSC system was unnecessary. I listened to FP1 on BBC Radio 5 Live. I'm sure he said the introduction of the halo would be unnecessary as they already have the VSC. Which is a bit of a silly statement in itself as the intention of the VSC is only ...

What would be good to know is how other broadcasters receive drivers of their own nationality. e.g. How do German broadcasters react to Vettel, Australian to Riccardo etc. I've always put the perceived Hamilton bias down to the fact that Sky/C4 are British broadcasters promoting their product by pre...

I'd be interested to see how banking t15 improves overtaking.

In theory cars shouldn't have to scrub off as much speed going in to the corner and the exit should be less dependent on traction.

kerneys

Thanks both.

Is it just changes to the asphalt and run off areas rather than alterations to the layout of the track?

Am I alone in thinking it's not rocket science not to watch the news if you don't want to know the news. I mean seriously, why would you watch it, knowing they are probably going to tell you the results. It's a pretty standard format - news, sport, local news, weather. They could say 'look away now...

I did the same yesterday with the quali. I was livid. I then made another mistake today of getting in the car about 3.30pm today with the radio left on Radio One. I caught who finished 2nd but luckily didn't catch who had won or was 3rd. Having to avoid all forms of tv, radio and social media is bec...

Vettel Fan wrote:Hamilton because he stayed in first, lol. So much Hamilton love in this forum.

The clue is in the thread title. Driver of the WEEKEND. I'm pretty sure he was voted 1st based on his overall race weekend performance, and not only because he stayed in 1st position during a tricky race.

Nico is probably going to get a 5 grid penalty at Hungary and the maximum he can hope for is 2nd place. Lewis probably wins the race if he has no issues. Hungary is tough to overtake on. This could destroy Nico's confidence if he goes into the summer break behind Lewis. We've got to go to Germany b...

The "Hamilton rejected talks after austria" think is disappointing on Lewis part if true Nico made it clear in his post race interview where he felt the blame for the incident lay, and I'm sure Hamilton was fully aware of these comments. Unless Nico was offering an apology, and I very much doubt he...

Well it doesn't reflect too well on Jenson and Fernando if they aren't abe to score points soon while Stoffel could do so in his first attempt. As impressive a debut as it was, we must remember we lost 5 cars in that race, 4 of which could have finished ahead of him. Had the same happened yesterday...

Another interesting Lewis stat: Lewis is now joint holder of the record for a driver with at least one win in each of a drivers first 7 seasons (with Fangio)... Top that Vettel...

It's because he is spanking everyone else. Dnf is the only way they can hope to win. Let the pathetic losers haVe their fun. It wont last. Seb will still win. He's been beaten on several occasions this season without a DNF. If not for Pirellis unique compound of exploding marshmallow tyres he could...

British F1 fans in cheering a British rivals DNF shocker!!!! Surely this is akin to a supporter of a football team cheering when Man United drop points due to a loss or draw. I'm sure if you asked any true British F1 fan in the stands or across the country their opinion of Vettel's F1 pedigree they ...

I've only started watching MotoGP this season. Last weekends GP started off wet, and whilst the track was wet the riders were avoiding kerbs and white markings. Only towards the end of the GP when the track had dried out a bit did they start riding the kerbs again and even then it was only on slow-m...

Well no, the 2010 RBR had dreadful reliability - cracked exhausts, engine failures, oil pressure issues, brake failures etc, the 2012 Mclaren dropped out of a race twice for mechanical reasons , and Vettel's RBR had the same number of race ending mechanical issues as Hamilton last year.

The current system destroys the race to that point. If the cars could restart the race from the pit lane, with the green light starting the second driver as his previous gap time elapse, then the next driver, ect. I'm assuming all cars would be queued at the end of the pit lane with the lead car on...

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton over team radio: "I've never seen the tyres behave this way." Anyone have any idea what he's refering to?

What I've been wondering is why they don't use a GP2/GP3 car as a safety car? One of the major complains from drivers is that the safety car is too slow, and cools tires etc. Why not have a fluorescently marked GP2 car, fitted with the required lighting systems, in it's place? Cars would still slow...

I'm not sure if it's already been mentioned but getting the all the running cars into the 'snake' allows for a few minutes of uninterrupted track clearance each time the snake has passed. If you had cars spread out, albeit going slowly, I think it would still be more dangerous and take longer than t...
