That is true, the AI is really unstable, on some tracks they are blistering quick, and fairly realistic, on others, they are strange and very unrealistic. I'm getting fed up of being passed on the straight even with 1-1 in wings, and still make up time in the corners (still on expert). And the idiotic penalty systems... I'm pretty happy I didn't buy it!

I'm now in Istanbul, and HRT have set higher goals for me... top 15 in qual, and top 12 in race... And David Croft is still asking about that damn championship... jeez, I'm still in freaking HRT!!

Agree with Phoenix - meh, and crashen on purpose... MEEEEEEEEEEEH...

Anyway, Senna picked up a 6th place i Turkey, and Glock did the same in China... Lotus have also picked up some points... I think Renault is last in the WCC atm, and Williams have been on 20th+ with both drivers a couple of times. This isn't too realistic...

And ONE thing!!!! ARRRGGHHH!!! Like it isn't enough to make the pit stop "automatic" (exeption is a way of braking into the pit that I don't get, and some pit-limiter thing... They make the other cars GHOSTS!! This really pissed me off in Turkey now, Was on 10th, with Sutil behind. i pitted, he followed, I decided to play it safe, just to keep him behind me... But no... This damn game makes his car a ghost and he drives THROUGH me... THAT is the worst thing I've ever seen on a F1 game, how the hell is that possible to make...

They can write reviews but bloody hell they dont know what a brake pedal looks like do they, If anyone does that near me online I will give them actual flaming papayas.

These online feedbacks dont fill me with joy.....I'm actually doubting getting the game now.

I've been playing F1 2010 for a while now... it's not too bad, I suppose, the cars feel a little bit weightless much like in GRID (but thankfully they do handle much better than the single seaters in that game) and the cars' performance levels aren't exactly realistic (a HRT should not be anywhere near 17th on the grid), but it's pretty fun to play in any case. I haven't tried the career mode or longer races yet, as I'm the second worst racing game player in Finland and I need to get to grips with the cars before I go out there to trudge around the back of the grid and cause massive accidents in my Simtek.

Speaking of massive accidents, KOBAYASHI KAMUI GOES OUTTA!

I have no idea how I pulled it off, but I somehow managed to hit the edge of the armco as I was coming out of a flashback (having spun on the exit of the next corner) and this is the result.

I must be honest I've absolutely loved F1 2010 so far. I'm a decent player of racing games but I'm not brilliant and on expert difficulty with traction control on I seem to be competitive in the Virgin without being ridiculous (Me and Di Grassi have 3 finishes each above the other so far). My best finish is 16th so far and I haven't seen the "new teams" much higher than that although it is worth noting that they are more competitive here than in real life.

They have the online play about right too, both quick join and server lists are available here (Unlike the online failure of Forza 3) and they don't seem to suffer from any lag on the Xbox 360 at least. My only gripe about the online mode would be the typically stupid "360 crowd" who play to wipe everyone out. Hopefully once the game is a month or 2 old they will have given up and moved onto some other game.

As for the interviews and stuff yeah they are a bit stupid, my team thinks I'm underperforming too despite some good races so far in my opinion but no game is perfect first time out and I think its a great first attempt. I would give it an 8.5/10

What's everyone's PSN ID's (if you have F1 2010 on PS3), we could do a few online races sometime.

I'd be interested in having a few online races, however I will be on holidays for a week from this Friday. My PSN ID is thestig-13
This is a cool spot.

The Nascar Racing 2003 Season league I race in every week kicked off its open wheel division (which I run), dubbed Formula 5.

We started the season at Long Beach, and since nine AI cars were in the field, this was going to be a recipe for disaster because the AI have really weird braking points and were legitimately competitive. I should note that I started last on the grid after binning it on my qualifying lap when I was capable of getting onto the first three rows...

Surprisingly we didn't fail that bad considering all the warp we had in practice... ... by the way, that is me doing the crap commentary.

This shows that NR2003 drivers can hack it with F1-levels of grip. I came from last on the grid to 5th at the end of the race -- not bad seeing as I drive keyboard. Cliff Raymond and his teammate in the 1970s Penske liveries took a one-two, but it was a pretty good race in the middle part.

There really wasn't any stupidity from any of the human drivers, because I put the turn 1/2 deal down to just first corner madness. It's amazing that there weren't people doing CARTwheels (*tiddyboom*).

Reject of the Race would have gone to Nicolette DuClare (of Deus Ex fame) due to her Deletrazzian antics during the race. Ironically, Jean-Pierre Deletraz did not live up to his name and walked away with points!

Please, help me, I feel so dirty. I just run a 35 Lap Race on Motegi (oval) in Gran Turismo PSP. With a red 80'es Lamborghini. While having the Magnum P.I. music running on loop in the background.

Help me! :shock: :D
