Yes it’s disappointing that it won’t have all the tracks at launch. I’m going to wait on my pre order until I’ve seen the PS5 specs for the game. I imagine it will take full advantage of the new hardware, but want to make sure first.

How are these games on controller? Do most of you guys plays with wheels or are the F1 games still good on controller?
Been a long time since I’ve played an F1 game.

Playing F1 2019 on my DS4 was almost impossible, F1 2020 is ok, it feels very good. But only you can judge.
Try F1 2020 demo and see how you like it. (it expires in some way, not sure if after a few hours or after the whole game is downloaded)
F1 2021 I have no idea, I won't buy it till the demo is out, which means in a few months maybe.

I found 2020 to be exceptional on a gamepad. Completed the full 10 seasons on the pad and have no complaints with how it felt or behaved. If 2021 improves on that with a more solid tyre connection with the road it will be amazing.

Has anyone talked about the graphics yet? Im looking at this and it looks like PS4 graphics - i thought this would have PS5 next gen visuals?

All the footage you’ve seen so far is from Steam, and not everyone has the highest spec graphics cards.

Would a PEGI 18+ SF21 full livery DLC juridically feasible (for consoles), only playable offline maybe?
Well, I tried...

Conversation comes up every year.
Short answer: No
Long answer: If any part of the game is 18+, the whole game is. Also it’s pretty much illegal to have real-life tobacco-related brands in games these days anyway.

So here's a question that was raised to me with regard to the game and the continuing changes in the real season calendar.
I presume we will still have all the tracks as per the original announcement or do you think the game may pull the tracks from the season that got cancelled, I know if new tracks not modelled come into replace them we will not get those but I was just thinking how the back to back races at Red Bull Ring etc will work (I know we can custom race calendar to cover that part.
Defo sitting to wait and see what the final product contains before I buy now.

For those who love fiddling with the camera settings, the numeration now goes from -20 to +20. In F1 2020 was -1.00 to +1.00, but as for both systems it's a total of 40 clicks/figures/whatever you call it, nothing seems to have changed.

That can be attributed to many different things:
• The game engine used.
• Developing for 1 platform with bespoke tech (PS5) vs developing a multi-platform and multi-generational title.
• The unique demands of each game (rendering images in real-time at 300kph is very different to a relatively slower-paced platformer).
• A commitment to having at least 60fps be possible on every platform (very important for racing games).
Ratchet was built as a showcase for the PS5's superfast SSD and a few other factors, and while F1 isn't designed as a showcase for these technologies, there will be benefits such as faster loading times and more CPU-intensive tasks (potentially better force-feedback for example).
Good spot; I need to keep that in mind when I make my settings guides

I woke up this morning and thought: what's the most stupid 💩 I can do today?
So I preordered F1 2021 deluxe edition (seriously, I did), though I know the deluxe content is 100% pathetic, and the game will be worse than F1 2020.
Feeding corporate pigs like codies and EA is also very much gratifying for me, so now I feel that as an idiot I'm complete.

Congratulations? What are you trying to achieve here?
Anyway, lots more detail on the Braking Point mode coming to light, EA have gone in to some cool detail about the characters. I'm quite keen to play this and see how well it can flesh the characters out.

I know that Lewis is 2nd on that year despite equal points due to countback (he has more 2nd place, but Alonso had more point finishes), but I feel that they should use the term 'equaled' or 'rivaled' instead of outright beat. People can exaggerate Lewis "beating" Alonso (either to elevate him or undermine Alonso), or even use terms like "obliterated" or "destroyed".

Looking forward to this. So am I right in saying that the deluxe edition, the only benefit is the My Team Icons Pack and some extra points?
So basically £15 odd more just to be able to have Schumi/Senna, etc as your teammate in the My Team mode? Is that it? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything by getting the cheaper version!
