It's all about the qualifying. Take today's F1 race...Alonso led from the first turn and never looking back. My problem is on race day, I make so many stupid mistakes that I only have myself to blame. If I could run better laps, I would finish strong.

And I think codies nailed the constructors pretty much. My car simply has nothing and one little mistake and there's a lost second. I'm having a blast because they nailed this aspect of F1.

That's the thing though, I know it's on me, but my qualifying best so far is 14th. Ugh. LOL

Raced a 30% at Monza today and pulled a 2nd place finish. I made sure I pitted a lap later than everybody, and would have won if it wasnt for a damn 10 sec penalty for bumping a little too hard in a turn.

I am also addicted to TT and the leaderboard. I have managed to crack the top 450 for Monza( 123.7 ), and runN1st(OS writer) has the 25th fastest lap at Monza(120.2) They keep track of the top 1800 hundred I believe. I can probably get that down to around 121.5 or so....but I am not touching 120.2!

Turn off fuel simulation it evens things up for you. Keep Tire simulation on though. Codies let a lot slip though the cracks and they know they did, but their saving grace comes in two forms: Driving the car for the most part is very enjoyable even those annoyed as hell with the bugs say so. The second thing is the fact that people are just jonesing for an F1 game after so many years. I was gonna write a detailed review now that I've had time to get to play for about 4 days. I won't waste my time however. Codemasters are on some bullcrap they need to be in the lab working on patches as we speak.

Can someone tell me how to copy your teammates setup in Career mode?

From what I've read you can't. My guess is that they intended to program it in and ran out of time, but didn't remove the engineer telling you to copy the setup.

Thanks. Bit annoying that the race engineer keeps telling me that despite me outlapping my teammate. I'll have to deal with it.

I really wish I could ignore the problems in this game, but I just can't.

I'm not a hardcore F1 fan, but whenever I buy a sports-related game, I want a realistic simulation that will last me a long, long time. Sadly this has not hit the nail on the head. Not even close.

Has anyone returned their game? What's the protocol? Can you just take it back because it's rubbish, or will it depend on retailed?

I got mine from JB Hi Fi in Australia and still obviously have the receipt. Game in as-new condition. Will they exchange it for the same value I bought it?
