He's taken part in F1 races and finished them, if my experience of the game with most aids turned off is accurate, its still a hell of an achievement!

in absolute terms maybe but it's all relative and, relative to his peers, he's distinctly underwhelming.

You need that something special to succeed in F1, as evidenced by the number of feeder series champions (Palmer included) who amount to little in F1. He won't be around for long, trust me.

Oh balls....

*sigh*

Skeeter · 24 Jul 2016 at 14:25

Wait, what. Crofty got loud. Did something happen?

Emlyn_Dewar · 24 Jul 2016 at 14:26

Oops... KR

CaptainRAVE · 24 Jul 2016 at 14:26

Max went back to his racing line?

Verstappen does move a lot to be fair. Has happened in the past as well where it has been mentioned he needs to be careful.

Verstappen moved, but he moved a second time for the corner which is fine. What did he expect he'd not turn in to the corner. Kimi made all those moves too close in that straight into a corner, you can get that close and jump out at the last second down a straight but not on the edge of the braking zone.

Which is perfectly allowed.

Ves clearly went right so he shouldn't have gone left

He went right, then he moved for the corner which is absolutely in the rules. Most times it will be a defensive move half way down the straight then a move back to the line you want for the corner much later but it's still fine to do both closer together.

Emlyn_Dewar · 24 Jul 2016 at 14:29

At least it was something happening I guess. Standard F1, a decent enough first lap and then cars unable to pass for the rest of it.
Hoping Kimi gets it done.

Like a winner of the Jim Clark Cup, essentially the F1 world Championship for normally aspirated cars?

I meant within F1. He won GP2 too but F1 is obviously so different to any other series that only the very best survive and I don't put him in that class at all.

He'd dragged that car up to where it didn't belong.

And then threw it off the track for no reason.

I forgot how bad this track is for overtaking.

Flibster · 24 Jul 2016 at 14:32

Fair amount of smoke from Buttons car

Yeah its really bad for racing. Great fun to drive in a game though.

Had a chuckle at how easily Lewis made the gap again and is clearly just saving his engine.

Flibster · 24 Jul 2016 at 14:32

Button told to box to retire.

Rosberg in DRS range.

KiNgPiN83 · 24 Jul 2016 at 14:32

So the question is will Rosberg try to attack Hamilton in the last few laps?

Or now.. Lol

Emlyn_Dewar · 24 Jul 2016 at 14:32

McLaren will need get on Gumtree, get another Honda ride-on mower engine to replace that.

CaptainRAVE · 24 Jul 2016 at 14:32

Button won't be happy at all.
