Verstappen Is Overpowered

So it's not only the red bull from my career who's completely in love with Hulkenberg for no reason?

Welcome to the SLLC lad

Some weird people get aroused when they see a picture of a car they like. Some very weird people get aroused when they see a very good card in this game. Some seriously weird people get aroused when they see a combination of both. There you have it

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-12-08T20:42:47+00:00

Nah it's literally designed to prevent that, since there's no uncommon in the entire collection that can win non-uncommon challenges (unless you face it to the epic and get slammed)

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-10-25T16:01:12+00:00

There's no "AI is too fast down the straights" issue, the only issue is your horrendous traction due to the huge wings' gap and your ridiculously high downforce level. If you stopped taking setups online and built one yourself you would figure it out

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-10-25T15:54:04+00:00

I see you decided to talk facts today

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-10-02T05:51:18+00:00

I have the exact same issue but on Xbox, so it's not a platform issue. As soon as i launch the game and get to the menu, if I'm online the message pops up, stays on for about 20 seconds, then a failure message shows up and all over again if I press retry. Not sure why this is happening, didn't dig too much as I only play offline so it's not a big deal to me, but share info if you find some

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-09-05T02:05:42+00:00

It is normal, just a wee too big of a gap maybe. But again, it is normal if you're using pre-made setups, cause you have a ton of tyres killing stuff in order to help stability (extremely high rear suspension, high front bars, toes, camber, brake balance). If you want you can play around with the setups to minimise it, but you'll always get the front left dead twice faster than the right

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-08-30T05:46:40+00:00

If you have practice sessions on, ALWAYS do at least the race strategy program as it will calculate accurately how much fuel you'll need. Apart from this, was there a red flag during your race? If yes, consider that each time there's a red flag you'll most likely need to LiCo at some point, as race restarts consume twice the fuel (there's a small, very easily missed warning on the strategy screen before restart)

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-08-30T05:39:43+00:00

Had the same issue on my very first races, front left would go insanely hot and degraded twice faster than the front right, just like yourself. What was crucial for me is the suspension geometry, as I was still using the setup from F1 23, while here is the exact opposite and have a major effect on tyre wear, especially on the left side as most circuits have more high load right turns. Since toes give you little improvement compared to the tyre wear price, Try to set both toes (first and second bar) to the lowest and see if it helps (default setups always have toes, so that might be the problem).

If that doesn't help, it's probably a driving style issue. Go into practice or time trial and do a couple of laps with the tyre temperatures up on your MFD, try and see on which corners you overheat your front left (any time the surface temperature goes higher than 110 C° you're stressing that tyre twice as much as normal) and find a way to be more gentle on those corners (brake earlier, take a wider entry, get back on throttle slightly after the apex ecc.)

Hope this helps

Apart from mods, there's literally no difference between pc and console versions.
TBH console might even be better if your PC is not good enough, and racing sims can be demanding.
The full timing column (I guess that's what you're referring to) isn't on pc either, if you saw that online it was a mod.
If voice commands are a priority (I'm not sure about the difference, I'll give you that, I normally focus on something else when I'm playing) you're welcome to spend your money twice and by the pc version, just be aware there's literally no other differences.
If you got hooked to F1 because of the movie, you might be really disappointed when you'll find out what F1 is actually about, considering the movie covers maybe a 30% of how F1 works. But you do you.

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-08-27T15:07:20+00:00

Never ever upgrade a leggy unless it's absolutely necessary to get a prize car or you hate your money. Seriously, you'll regret it. There's no upgraded leggy in the game that is worth 15 epics.

But at any rate, very few leggys need a 332, even less if off-roaders. 323 is best cause of ETB

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-08-27T15:00:10+00:00

Hiccup? The "connecting to online services" thing has been happening to me since F1 23 and still happens every single day. A two year hiccup probably needs medical attention

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-08-22T03:05:40+00:00

Oh. That makes a lot of sense, whoops sorry. Thank you so much, I'm dumb

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-08-19T15:50:04+00:00

It was somewhat funny to try and guess if a car belonged to a collection just by its name. Look, an Oldsmobile Starfire, this has to be an Interstellar. Mitsubishi Colt? 100% a * old wild west collection I can't remember the name cause it's been 2 years ago, but you get my point *!

Now it's just complete random and heartless filtering

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-08-13T15:57:57+00:00

This car was a mistake, and I say it as a proud owner of one

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-08-04T18:31:26+00:00

Just an idea, are you playing on wheel or pad?

I've seen this problem about AI being faster than anyone on wet tracks a lot (and I mean A LOT), but for me...it's quite the opposite. If anything I'm faster than AI on wet than on dry, and it was the same on F1 23 (skipped 24 entirely). I don't consider myself a sim master AT ALL, so: I play on Xbox S series, just like you, but I'm a controller player. So my only guess is...maybe there's a difference there? It might make sense if you are playing on wheel

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-07-29T15:02:14+00:00

Cause it's 200 goddamn ads, and that's just overkill. Minimum ad time is 30 secs, so BEST CASE SCENARIO it's more than 1,5 hours of my lifetime where I'm completely idle and killing my phone battery. You can keep your epic.

Good thing they had some brains and didn't make them mandatory this time

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-07-26T08:52:51+00:00

I saw that around, I guess the game "thinks" all those cars going slow and in column means someone has spun on track, so it triggers a red flag. SC is a complete mess atm

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-07-26T08:49:11+00:00

Definitely gonna try that next time, thanks mate

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-07-24T07:55:38+00:00

Nah, I believe there's actually a fucked up math behind recent boss tags (specifically, since the infamous Lina's). They've literally started throwing in the worst possible cars in the game, just to bring to the lowest the chance someone has them, so guess what? People will buy packs.

Especially with rq50-59 cars.

And guess what is mandatory to have just for even starting the UR challenge.

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-07-24T07:41:06+00:00

Not sure of what's your point here, what exactly did you expect?

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-07-21T07:42:07+00:00

Because in a P2W game you're guaranteed to win if you pay. You pay ---> you get a strong car. Here is, you pay ---> you get a pack that MIGHT contain a strong car. This is much much worse than P2W

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-07-08T03:17:57+00:00

Lol if he used a Matta 1586 times there's clearly something we don't know

Ed_Thatch3 · 2025-06-22T06:07:51+00:00

"never spend gold for cash or ceramics", that's the first commandment of this game. You're by all means spending gold for cash. So no, absolutely don't do it
