Just remember what laps you are scheduled to pit.

In online races? And other drivers?
Before online race starts you can select a racer on current grid (as you wait for host to 'press' ready) and can select mute 👍
I bought a Blue Tooth and you can leave on, but on floor so you can't hear if racers' chat distracting, or use the mute on the before race grid list:tup:

Not sure if you guys have seen it, but I noticed at Montreal, if you lap a slower car on the main straight, they end up running against the left wall unless you pass on the left. 
Any way, manage to win that race, but Vettel & Webber seem to be only drivers who dominate the season. Button was ok, but now he's falling behind fast.

Just recently got the game. Loving it, but there is one major headache.
I can't find a control setup that I feel comfortable with (I'm using the control pad).
Every since GT1 on the PS1, I have used the left analogue stick to steer and the right stick to accelerate/brake; my gears are L1,R1 (or L2,R2).
It's a setup I am used to and have always changed every racing game configuration to this. It's annoying that most recent racing games' default setup is L2/R2 for the brake/gas and X and SQUARE for the gears.
But with F1 2010, no matter how much I try to edit my configuration, I always get the message "IMPORTANT CONTROLS HAVE BEEN DISABLED. PLEASE RE-EDIT YOUR CONFIGURATION" or something.
It's a right royal pain.

You have to make sure every control is given a button.
For my wheel (G25) setup it meant that even the unusable clutch (R3 I think) is designated for a control.
If any control is not assigned to a button; you can not complete the 'edit'; so make sure every control has been designated a button 👍

Yeah I know that, but my problem is assigning the controls so that it falls under the parameters of the control setup I have been used to for years. I could get used to the trigger (L2/R2) buttons as the brake/gas (since vehicle control in GT4 uses that), it's just that changing gear using the face buttons on the DS3 is too awkward.
I suppose I will just have to get by with automatic gears. But that is a serious comedown for me - I want to get the full experience.

Agreed, I can't find a setup that I'm comfortable with manual gears, I have to drive with automatic as the face buttons have no pressure sensitivity at all for this game. If you put X as throttle it will always spin you out, so I'm having to use the triggers to play (which I don't mind..but then I don't have anywhere to put the gear changes that I like, L1/R1 just isn't right).

I'm so ANGRY right now!
First season with Lotus and I win six races and finish second in the driver's championship, which is much much more then Trulli ever did (whats that you say engineer's voice?-your faster then Trulli-yeah IM ALWAYS FASTER THEN TRULLI EVERYONES FASTER THEN TRULLI). Three races to go and the team dumps me for the next season even though I've been positive towards them with the media. So naturally after they tell me I start bagging them out in the media for those last three races and at the end of the season I only get offers from Virgin and HRT which are both garbage and teams I do not want to race with (I'd like to be Glockdog's team mate but not in that team).
With two races to go BMW Sauber showed some interest but no contract. Im pretty annoyed right now, thinking of deleting my save and starting again.
Lotus did offer me a contract for next year but I declined it twice-Im regretting that now..........urgh
What did I do wrong? (Apart from declining Lotus offers)

Not possible with the space I have sadly, fortunately GT always provides decent sensitivity for pads, so its all cool.

They dont drop you in the middle of the season, they dont want you around for next season. The agent chick told me that four times in a row, I was like-'Alright already'. Sorry I should've been more clear. And as for the agent you should be able to choose your own. Don King? lol or some hot chick like McLaren's avatar. Nice.
But the funny thing is BMW Sauber were happy when I started baggin out my team ( I was positive until they dumped me and then it was gloves off), I think I did take it too far though.
Which is the better car-HRT or Virgin? Im thinking of going with one of them and fighting back into contention for a better contract in season 3.

How many races do you have left?
If you can backup your save then do it, talk mad crap about your team and see what happens. If you get screwed then just restore your save, if it goes well then keep your save.
I think if you talk only good things about your team then other teams don't show interest in you. I don't really understand it but wtv. I always say good things about my team but that might changed based on the things I've heard.

I think it's stupid that other teams don't show interest in you, unless you say your team is ****. In real life, when drivers move teams, they have never said a bad word about any team, in fact they have supported them. I think it's stupid that I support my current team (so I don't get sacked) but it means I can't get a job anywhere else.

I give up. Barcelona is so bugged, it isn;t funny anymore.
The last corner before S/F is elevated in a wrong way. At the chicane at lap 8 I always spin, hitting curbs, gassing/no gassing, doesn't matter.
After 20 restarts or so, I will get a final drive and will wreck some cars. But now I am so fed up that cheating is okay in my book. I will take up this track in my Lotus untill I get a podium. Otherwise> restart the race.

I experienced a few more bugs today after a race at Korea... firstly, in Q3, I managed to score a lap time with the sector 2 time not included, meaning I would have taken pole by 28 seconds had I not restarted the session! Also, when I paused (during rain), there were bright orange/red blobs all over the screen, obscuring the menu screen... thirdly, although this is probably not a bug as such, I took a fast corner a tad too tight, and ran over the rumble strip... to my shock, the car flipped up violently and practically stood upright before landing back on the track! It looked fantastic, but it was very strange. One thing I've noticed is that the AI is very slow in the rain... whereas I was getting well and truly creamed in the dry (best grid position was 8th in Pro Mode), I was able to score an easy pole in the wet (over 5 s faster that P2). Finally, my engineering reliably informed me that I was "on pole", when I was still in Q1...
Other than that, it was quite good fun. I will write it up and stick it in the "Driver Diaries" thread in my signature next week

I take back any negative things I may have said about this game. I have recently acquired it and I love it. Codemasters EGO engine has improved in a big way since Dirt 2, but the real thrill about F1 2010 is the way they have captured the 'feeling' of being in an F1 race better than any other developer - yes, even Studio Livepool(all respect to them) who did F1:CE, which is one of my all time favourite PS3 games.
Codies, you done good!!
I think it is harsh and so unfair for some people to regard F12010 as a 'stop-gap' that will do them until GT5 hits the shelves. F1 2010 is so much more than that. It has obviously been a labour of love for Codemasters, who set out to make the best F1 game ever, and they have succeeded in that goal. I can see me playing F12010 long into next year, alongside GT5.

Too late, I stormed through to the end of the season to see if anyone was interested but alas no. I've signed with HRT, I'd like to be Glockdog's team mate but not a fan of Virgin Racing. I'm going with the mixed approach to the media this time and see what happens.
I need to bump difficulty up to legend, I won my first race with HRT by ten seconds from Hamilton-that shouuldnt happen (well not in a HRT car anyway)

I agree on the real-life inf packed into this game. Having to save tyres for race day, takes time to fix damage, etc. But after qualifying 20th, being beat by Senna, guess whose outside wanting to interview, Crofty!!! It was pretty surprising that they have real journalists names in. He was asking me about hw I hope to race the next day after a poor qualy. I can't wait to see what else is there in this game that I haven't discovered yet.
