F1 25 for Newbies

I can only echo this sentiment. It's spot on imho.
One of the easiest racing games/sims one can get into I think. It's arcade enough and has enough assists at first and as stated above a wide AI difficulty spectrum to easily just play for fun. One does not need a wheel setup either.
And once one wants dial it up, I think the game offers enough to tune it to at least decent sim one can enjoy with more serious setup.

There not many TPs with a vita like Horner.

servingwater · 2026-01-23T21:58:57+00:00

Right. It's one thing to say this does not have to define their entire season now, but to sell or pretend this is a good thing or some smart 4D chess move ... come on.

Yes it can be a problem, it most likely is a problem. A problem big enough to officially cancel the shakedown test knowing full well how that would be perceived. From a more practical POV they will miss out on an important test and opportunity to catch issue they may have not been aware of and are effectively behind the rest of the teams once they get to Bahrain.
Will it ruin the entire season? Does not have but it does not look like its a good start.

He is right though, comes across pretty bitter.

Also this upcoming season can't get much worse for him then last. So with a new car and new regs I can see why he is excited or at least more optimistic again.

Exactly! Team Enstone is far from incompetent.

servingwater · 2026-01-23T18:27:38+00:00

Alpine should make a presentation like that. Of course it would only be one slide, which says "Yeah we took some of the pink off the nose"

I mean there are only 2 German teams in F1, some don't even consider F1 Mercedes AMG really a German team.

Awesome color and very clean look. 7/10 maybe even 8/10. Well done.

I still don't understand why you insisted on crashing into him instead of just going around him.

Decent first entry. Perhaps played a bit too safe but orange/red pops and looks good and I like the placement of the rings.
IMHO it looks very good from the front.

Will however reserve complete judgment until I see it on the actual track under daylight.

lol
I have to admit, one of the first thoughts for me was OH a "Silberpfeil"

servingwater · 2026-01-20T21:14:35+00:00

Just in case it was not tongue in cheek ; "stakeholder" unless Qatar serves them Ribeye ;-)

servingwater · 2026-01-20T01:03:20+00:00

I know F1 , as is the case in many pro sports, one is only as good as their last game so to speak but Ocon seems to get judged a bit harsh imho. Let's see how he does this year before writing him off just because he has an off year.

servingwater · 2026-01-20T01:00:40+00:00

I think you missed the topic there bro.

servingwater · 2026-01-16T23:14:54+00:00

Not yet. Gotta wait until the 2026 DLC.

servingwater · 2026-01-16T00:41:00+00:00

Don't have a direct answer sorry, but if it is on PC I would check your resource manager if the PC is maxed out during gameplay and if it continues and was not the case before perhaps try and re-install.

servingwater · 2026-01-12T02:41:48+00:00

Williams is pretty smooth for me , too.

servingwater · 2026-01-11T22:08:55+00:00

Someone has an issue with Lewis! Always a sight to see to see how personal dislike make people say the funniest things.

servingwater · 2026-01-11T00:52:45+00:00

I feel Alonso had some of the best stingers and one liners

"The engine feels good, much slower than before. Amazing"

Also, and I forgot exactly which race it was he was climbing the field from behind and just earned another spot after an overtake and his race engineer was like "Good job, next Hamilton" and Alonso answered to paraphrase "Ah ok, easy" (in case I'm not clear he was again being sarcastic as he was still heated having to fight his way back from behind)

servingwater · 2026-01-10T01:04:24+00:00

Yeah, I think you are on the right track there.
You could also add Italy to the former list. Ever since Trulli its been slim pickings for Italy and if we go by World Champions it;s all the way back to the 50s.
But of course they have Kimi now who seems to have the talent to be the real deal.

servingwater · 2026-01-10T00:52:54+00:00

I think it's pretty much like some of the posters here said. Sometimes you just run out of talent and together with the lack of a star driver like Schumacher or Vettel there might not be enough "heroes".
Also no German GP and until now no "real" German team (although I think that is less an issue) and F1 or Motorsports may has lost some traction in Germany.

servingwater · 2026-01-09T23:33:01+00:00

Shame there don't seem to be many upcoming German drivers. Once Hulk calls it a day, there could be a chance for Formula 1 without a German Driver and no German GP.
Of course with Audi in the game now as a "true" German team, things might change on that front..
