If anyone picked this up for xbox one, shoot me an invite sometime. It'd be awesome to jump into an online race with other OSer's. I would have to tone down my driving style aka "The Verstappen Method"

Well that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the tip!

I have mine set to Full and still get VSC and Safety cars(PC)
there is a on/off option under race settings, before loading into the race. unless there is some bug, as long as that is on, you should get them if there is a big enough issue.

Has anyone else had a serious problem with turn 8 at Baku? I was running in 19th on lap 4 when yellow flags appeared as I was approaching turn 7. I checked the replay and Verstappen had turned in too early, clipped the inside barrier and hit Perez. Verstappen ended up doing a back and forth manoeuvre blocking most of the track at a very narrow point and everyone else (maybe 10-12 cars) got stuck behind in the run up to turn 8.

This is where the real fun began. I was stopped still minding my own business along with the other cars when Wehrlein thundered into the back of me, smashing me into Nasr giving him (AND ME!) a stop-go penalty for a severe collision. All hell then broke lose with cars shunting each other, resulting in no less than 18 warnings for collisions being handed out.

Verstappen got a stop-go for illegal blocking, and then was disqualified along with Haryanto, Massa, Ericsson, Hulkenberg, Sainz and Grosjean for being parked in a dangerous location.

The only good thing to come out of this is there's only 15 cars left in the race, and the team wanted me to finish 17th!

I don't think it's an issue on PC, but I've seen it mentioned on a couple of other forums. On console even if you have the safety car setting on it won't appear much if at all unless damage is set to sim. Worth a try if you aren't seeing it come out when it should.

a video on my race at Spa for Belgium GP. started 17th after badly miss-timing Q1 and getting caught on Intermediate tires when the rain stopped. Went for a 1-stop race and made it work really well. could have hung on for 2nd, but late in the race my Engine start having some issue, and power was down. Sainz caught me and passed me. I finished 3rd. Vettel Won again, pulling away for the Championship. Ferarri has moved to #1 in the R&D right now. Mercedes hasn't been anywhere the last couple of races oddly.

I'll never forget how happy with myself i was after finishing a 100% race there in F1 2010. Felt like I'd just run a marathon and only finished 4th, but was still stoked haha
