I'm trying to find out which car the "multiplayer" car is modelled off so i can look at setups more akin to the car? Any help? or advice on which team setups would be best used on the generic multiplayer vehicle

Having only come into the Franchise for the tail end of the F1 2017 game, skipping 2018 and now hitting the ground running on F1 2019 - I am at best a complete newbie, however i'm picking up bits & bobs but wanted to know what tips and hints/tricks you would give to New F1 players? No matter how obvious you think what advice would you give to someone just coming into the Franchise?

love some of these tips guys !!

@Worntoathread Thats a very good idea !! - Also i did read latest patch has taken away scaling of tyres on 25% and 50% races

I'm going to spend this weekend changing my ERS and Fuel to other areas on the pad I think...I can't be dealing with the MFD

I love driving in Austria and Britain - feels just so free and fun to drive, i quite like Abu Dabhi too

I have generally found that ranked lobbies seemingly have less "idiots" than unranked - but it is incredibly frustrating when someone t-bones you out of nowhere...I accidentally put someone out of the race by a general mistake, I messaged them after to apologize and all was well.

See, now thats what I thought but my soft tyres will last 13 laps before I start to notice any real grip going or time dropping? or is it just my nubile eye not picking up that im losing out somewhere else?

@Striker_703 see most of my races I do are either quick 5 lappers or 25% ones - I dont feel that engine/tyre wear really is a think at that short sprint? What do you think?

also side note - on the "leagues" multiplayer any ideas when they will be adding in the proper F1 and F2 teams instead of just the Multiplayer? I'd like the ability to drive alongside my mate in a team and not have to pretend or imagine xD

Will they ever add a co-op career mode? I'd love to play a career with my mate joining a new team together or rival teams - that'd be awesome.

It's crazy the little things you find out isnt it !! Being relatively new to the franchise I find im learning all the time. also thanks @Striker_703 and @Worntoathread - they are pretty big insights !!! See you dont get any of these things in the whole "Top 5 must do things in F1 2019" 1. Slow down into a corner and fast.... Would you agree that to use ERS effectively you change it down prior to hitting a corner and turn it up when you want to overtake say on a straight? I want to use it manually, however dont want it to take up too much of my concentration as im fiddling with fuel settings lol

Hasnt he just signed a 2 year extension? i know him and Sainz been retained for next season

I'm enjoying it. I started with 2017, missed 18 out and got 19 - kind of gotten bored of the buying same game every year like Fifa now. I've never understood why they cant just have one game and release 6 monthly DLC or something, end up paying a bit less and there would be more constant development. instead of an "overhaul" every year. - still i think f1 2019 is fab

Do you guys have ERS on manual then? I can just about manage switching fuel around during the race let alone ERS - Some great insight there @Ferrethead81

I'm a dirty pad user buddy xD

Thanks Phil - Any other tips they dont use in these "5 NEW TIPS FOR PLAYERS" guides? I heard switching to Lean fuel helps cornering in the rain

True, I think Russell has shown great maturity and speed even in such a horrendous car as the Williams. I do feel for Ocon, god knows where he would go though - i've been super impressed with all the rookies this season.

Very true Nico did win in 2016 - however he was also so distressed and emotionally/physically spent from the lengths he had to go to to beat Hamilton he retired the before the next season. Hamilton is not infallible and he is not unbeatable - he is however by far at the moment the fastest and most accomplished guy on the grid, I can't see how people can argue with that? whether you like him or not sometimes you have to just stand back and applaud not only Mercedes but Lewis also. I'd love Alonso to take Bottas seat next year, I think it'll be Ocon though.

I think Lewis is the best driver on the grid right now, and would beat any team mate in any car. He has a natural born talent for this and can extract 15% more than most other drivers apart from Alonso. I think Norris has that gift and in time with experience he will also be up there as is the same with Verstappen. Some people are born for this and some work for this, Hamilton was born to be a racing driver, Bottas for example works hard to be a racing driver. I agree that whole "put Hamilton in a Renault" and he wont win a race - but that's a silly concept, that's like saying give Fleetwood town a new stadium and they will be champions of Europe. I do think there will be a time when Hamilton will stop racing or not be with us anymore and we will look back posthumously and think jeez we did not give him the respect he deserves for his talent.

I'm yet to finish a race on it :< saying that I've been practicing and im feeling hopeful for this weeks event

So i've done both weeks of the event so far and i'm confused as to how the scoring works. I finished third, qualified a second faster and had less assists - however I finished ovr 100,00 points lower than my friend...? I just dont get it, he finished 2nd in his race..does that mean he gets 100,00 more points?

I think i found my answer - A score based on a number of factors, including qualifying time, race position, total race time, assist level and more. It’s worth bearing in mind that you’ll receive a score even if you only take part in qualifying, and you can still race even if you didn’t set a qualifying time – so it’s always worth participating where and when you can. Your score places you in the global leaderboard, and at the end of the week you’ll be sent your prizes via the in-game mail system, based on where you placed.

I'm not sure, I didnt have any incidents or collisions or offenses in the race ...in all fairness it was pretty straight forward

You do practice sessions, then you do a qualy then when the official race starts at the weekend then you compete in that against other human controlled opponents at a similar qualy to yourself. You get points for all three sessions. I would just like to know exactly how the score is calculated and where I may of apparently lost points.
