This game got me into F1 after being a huge NASCAR fan. I'll be waking up early Sunday to see if Nico can finally get a championship from Lewis.

Trying the trial out, game seems awesome, but i need some controller settings so I do not have to use assists as much, or is that the only way?

No shame in using a few assists. It's a game, not a root canal.

I use ABS and medium traction control, as it's tough without them on a controller. The car still moves around plenty, even with these assists.

I will second this. I ran a whole season using a controller with all assists turned off and man it was brutal. I mean really brutal, I found myself chasing difficulties, setting etc. until I realized I was not having fun. Kind of what I went thru years ago with The Show. I got so involved chasing slider and rosters I forgot the most important thing. It was baseball and I was supposed to having fun. So for the last two years I have played with default rosters and sliders and I have finished upwards of 4 years of franchise a game.

So ,back on topic, I started over in F1 set everything back to default and went with Medium AI and Medium traction control with the racing line on while I learn all the tracks for the practice only. Now I am actually having fun and the world didn't end because I wasn't playing a "true sim" experience. We tend to forget that we can change settings anytime we want nowadays. If I start winning to much or feel to comfortable I can up the settings. But I am certainly now more concerned with having fun.

This should be framed and hung above the consoles of every gamer. This hobby is about having FUN. Everyone has different definitions of fun, and those interpretations are all worthy of respect.

I picked this up over the weekend and I'm loving it. Controls are a bit difficult using the controller with aids off but I'm now using Traction Control - Full and ABS - ON and love it. I'm racing the AI on Hard/Expert. I highly recommend it.
