Right now Verstappen is the most in form driver on the grid, so he does make the car look better than it is. He's also better than Leclerc, who is prone to many errors. Also, you can tell that the Honda engine is slower than both the ferrari and mercedes engines. The performance of the Red Bull is close to the ferrari but not past it. Hungary is ferrari's worst track, and Vettel was faster than Verstappen in Britain. Also look at Vettel's pace in Germany, Ferrari was even quicker than the mercedes that race. Leclerc was also on for the win until he crashed. Merc > ferrari > Red Bull

The Red Bull car isn't as good as u think, Verstappen makes it look much better than it actually is. ur taking this from the Hungarian gp which is a high downforce track, which is ferrari's weakness. Take Germany for example, where Ferrari had the fastest car in the race, it changes from race to race based on the track, so it's still Merc, Ferrari then red Bull.

On a wheel it's very hard to map the look left and right, and that is the ONLY way to see the mirrors in cockpit without messing up the FOV. Also, yes, virtual mirrors will help players but it shouldn't be considered as an assist, as it does not make the player any quicker. All it does is makes the player more aware in an easier, more conventional way, meaning racing is cleaner and race craft will be improved. The arrows aren't enough.

The issue is that in cockpit cam u cant see the mirrors, so we cant look into them, meaning there is a need for a virtual mirror. Also, there is a 'look back' button you can press and I'm guessing you think that's an assist too? I have no clue where ur coming from. It's simple; if the view wont let you see the mirrors, add a virtual one. There is no advantage as you should already be able to see the mirrors, which you cant.

it's harder this year

For the first part, it is a known issue that will hopefully get fixed for F1 2019 when the ai do normal dry lap times even during the crossover period between drys and inters. From what I've heard, this only happens when you fast-forward during qualifying, or when you go straight to the track instead of leaving the garage. For the second part, the ai do not have abs, they just don't make mistakes often enough.

I'm not sure whether it will be easier or harder to get the old Hockenhiem to come back considering it doesn't exist anymore. Realistically it should be fairly simple to get licensing from recent tracks such as Sepang, but that all depends on whether CM get the licensing from FOM or the tracks themselves. If they get it from FOM it'll be much harder to get older tracks.

how much would you pay for it

it was a steam issue

interesting, didn't know you were hosting. I have no clue then

I can only assume that there were issues with the servers and the connection that made them think you had left when you hadn't. strange

it's an FOM thing

The only issue I have with this is the time it takes and I can't see them prioritising this sort of system. I just feel a quick explanation in text of what does what is a more simplified, easier version. Of course it'll be very good if they have the time to implement something like this, as it can simply be an extra page on the engineer communication mfd thing, which can allow you to tell Jeff whilst you're out on track, and Jeff can give a summary of suggested changes when you next pit. In addition to this, it would be nice to have the option to speak to Jeff whilst in the garage, to talk about setup changes there.

I agree, when not controlled by a person, a car should ghost. Another idea is that cars ghost when there are noticeable connection issues that can affect gameplay, to make it more safe, however I'm not sure this can happen. This could also limit the effects of desync if it works how I've been told.

seems a little late for something like this that most would argue isn't necessary, although it would be nice to have this as a recognition as 1000 races is a big thing fundamentally.
