Dear oh dear... Sorry people, but I see a lot, but A LOT, of blind commenting around here. Just going by what the general perception or the assumptions of the moment dictate.

Speaking of F1 2016 does anyone else find that the AI are stupidly fast in practice and to a lesser extent qualifying? I'm rarely in the top 15 during practice 1 and 2, then I always seem to fail the qualifying simulation in P3 or just scrape it. Then in qualifying I generally just about get into Q...
