Man... that's what I always wonder about when people drive these old cars. Putting aside that their level of driver safety is lower, it's pretty disastrous when they get damaged. A chassis can be replaced, sure, but a lot of those parts are simply not built anymore or at least aren't available for a reasonable cost.

It'll buff out.
But seriously, who tries to overtake there? Pull out after that kink, surely?

We used to have a pretty good crew around here in the 2010-2012 era. Sad that it got so shitty.

I think they look really good as long as they're not looking directly at you. Pretty nice achievement for a game with a (probably) small budget.
They don't look half as weird as the drivers on the game's cover.
You're not gonna get this many "characters" modelled with state of the art human rendering techniques in a game like this. They look recognisable enough, which is a step up.
I wonder if any of them are voiced though. Imagine having to get all these F1 personalities to dub video game lines, hah.

Codemasters will probably just get an answering machine to do Kimi's lines.
Thanks, its the Hilton and it has "premium channels", so i'm hoping we have CNBC ..

Pre-race show starts at 4:30, race at 5.
NBCSN (which you might have better luck getting at the hotel) re-airs the race 11:30am.
That felt like painful sacrilege.
Premium Channels means HBO and the like. It still should have CNBC.

Last year's game was good, it was just lacking features.
If the games was also budget priced it would make it easier for me to jump. When it releases it cost too much, when the price drops the season is over. They should have a subscription model, I mean I would pay 25$-30$ per year to have the latest version while now I've paid them nothing...
I'm PST so I think its 6:00am, good news on the rerun, could find a bar for it ;-)
Hope so, fingers crossed, otherwise its vpn time ...
I've just pondered about the current high density of "teams which want to get back on top".
Since 2005, we've had McLaren, Ferrari, Renault, Red Bull and Mercedes as championship-winning constructors that are still around. Go a bit further back and Williams joins the fray.
McLaren thinks it can get back on top with Honda.
Renault thinks it can get back on top just by dedicating itself to being a works team again.
Red Bull feels like they can get back on top if Renault gets its engine shit together.
Ferrari does what Ferrari has always done.
Mercedes wants to keep its position.
Williams... well, who knows. They're definitely not happy barely scraping a podium here and there, although that's better than what they've dealt with for quite a few years.
You need to go quite far back to find another situation where so many established championship-winning constructors were seriously aiming for the top.
What I'm getting at is... things might get shaken up again soon. There's a rather periodic pattern since the late 70s.
2 winning constructors from 2010-2016.
5 different winning constructors from 2005-2010.
2 different winning constructors from 1998-2004 (or 2000-2006)
4 different winning constructors from 1993-2000.
2 different winning constructors from 1984-1993.
5 different winning constructors from 1978-1984.
Further back it gets more varied.
(by winning I mean either driver's or constructor's championship)
Statistically we should be close to some major upsets where around two additonal teams can nab championships. Though I see neither Mercedes weakening that much nor Red Bull falling so far behind with the formula changes next year, history says it should happen.

Does anyone else think that Checo looks really fucked in the cover/promo shot for the game?

Eh, there are hardly any 1997 formula one Benetton components on that car besides the carbon fibre shell, those BOSS GP cars are pretty much overhauled to actually be able to race them at a "reasonable" cost, alas the drivetrain, suspension design and other components get switched for readily available components
At the end they were saying that Perez ultimately crashed because the team weren't allowed to warn him about his brakes being on edge. Force India even put the request to race control but was denied. The people in race control must have felt great about undermining their own efforts.
It's not like everyone couldn't see this a mile away with these totally useless rules. It's a great mystery why there are people involved with this sport that is constantly suggesting dumb stuff. Watch as grid penalties is slowly becoming the way to "shake up the field".
We're basically gonna get that with Hamilton's inevitable engine penalties, and it'll give Rosberg a championship to boot.

Kinda expected. Kimi's been a good, obedient 2nd driver.

He's the perfect number two for Vettel. Not quite as fast as him but still fast as fuck.

Fuck Kimi and fuck his bullshit attitude. This asshole needs to leave the sport asap.
Fucking Ferrari, man.
Fucking Ferrari, man.
If I were a young driver right now I'd be wondering what more I have to do in order to bump out one of the old guard.
Sorry, I know Kimi was really quick back in the day and I know it was exciting when he was briefly challenging for the championship but he's not that driver any more. I am pretty convinced Grosjean would do a better job with that car.

This chart about "driver age at the start of next season vs. being part of the 5 highest spending teams" popped up recently
Dat Verstappen outlier.
Red Bull is the only big team regularly giving younger drivers a chance nowadays.
Heck, how old will Vandoorne be when he finally gets to drive for McLaren? They used to give young upstarts like Kimi and Lewis a chance. I understand that they're in a "build-up" phase, but...

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Yeah, I thought Nico was in his mid twenties.
I would still love to see an old guard in a very competitive car and see how they hold up to new talent.

We keeping Kimi for another year?
I have to say, he's been doing better lately so that's nice. Plus the car will be shit again anyway, so who really cares.
We banking it all on the year after next year with German Jesus and Mexican Jesus.

New halo looks fine to me. I'm sure it will improve in time or be replaced with something better.

Nico debuted in 2006. He's been around forever.

So beautiful.
LOL!
Love it. But how the fuck do I mute it?
Nevermind... They had hidden it in the settings window (instead of just a mute icon somewhere)

F1 is safe for another year at least.
GOOOOO KIMI!!!!
I'm sure the latest video was an instrumental factor in taking the decision.
