A few small features that could make a big difference

MatthewT2001

Here are some ideas for F1 2017

• Mechanical Failures for actual plyaers (and not just engine failures)
• Limited number of engines (if you go over you get a grid penalty)
• Real FOM on-screen graphics
• More AI mistakes (spins, oversteer ect)
• Realistic car characteristics (eg Manor wasn't even that quick in a straight line in '16)
• Different AI stratergies in changeable (e.g Hamilton at Monaco 2016 staying out on wets)
• Sponsors on helmets (although FOM might not allow this)
• Change helmet between seasons

Hope you guys see this and implement as many of these features as possible!

Design and name your own team / car with colours and logos.

Seriously

I mean how many threads have been opened now about this thing? I expect minimum 40. I mean ****. Here are so many other threads about the same thing. I mean it's everything fine, but it makes nonsense to open million of other threads about the same thing.

1. Definitely yes. It's a part of real life so i'd like it to be part of games. Optional of course.
2. Don't see why not. Surprised it wasn't in already. 
3. If it's done well and adds something, yes.
4. Definitely.
5. Definitely.
6. If it adds something to the game, yes. 
7. Yes.

On another note, why can't we create a character and helmet specifically for online?

R+D that actually works, and kinda being able to decide on a character background aswell as maybe better customization of character look maybe elder scrolls esque

Maybe an engineer relationship bar kinda. So maybe u get a small increase in resource points and maybe get given better strats if u and ur engineer have a better relationship.

Outputting more UDP telemetry data fields for more complete third party telemetry information - although would be better if telemetry were just a part of the game.
