Thanks folks. Surely there must be a way that purposeful crashes are penalised - three strikes, and its a weeks ban? Something like that. Anyways, see you in 2021.

Yeah, I feel it. I really gave it my best, stuck with it. You sit long enough waiting to join a lobby, then join. Then get smashed off the track. Sit and wait until the next race, only to get smashed off the track in the next race. Sit again. And so on. Impossible to find a lobby where you aren't getting smashed off the track. Such a pity as I'm sure the majority of gamers are genuinely trying to be fair.

So, I have recently ventured off and tried (again) to play ranked multiplayer: it's a waste of time. I get it that we are playing online and there is going to be a bit of banging into each other, but its frustrating as heck when you're rammed off the track by another player just because you pass them. Nothing happens to them. They turn up in the next game and do it again. Maybe thats just the way it needs to be, but for me; theres no enjoyment in it. Sorry, I know its childish and I know been done to death, but thats me back off multiplayer and I've done enough seasons of career. Will wait for 2021 game and hopefully it has the much needed ability to modify the design.

I really welcome the My Team inclusion, but the more I'm playing around - when a new livery, or helmet etc is available - the more disappointing I am finding the lack of customisation. But hey ho...

France, turn 2: I noticed very easy to pick up a penalty here - very strict. But its a bit frustrating when you pick up a penalty if the AI cause you off the line - I was bumped in the rear, went off the line and got a penalty. Where is the penalty for the AI? 😂

I - like everyone else - have been upgrading as I go along. I found myself in 6th place in a pouring wet race at France. Started on slicks, around lap 8 it was onto inters and I was passing everyone! Then around lap 14 it was onto wets. I was 8 seconds ahead of Ricciardo with 6 laps to go and the tyres completely fell off a cliff. Ricciardo's tyres were as old as mine but he led a field past me as though I had four punctures! I was encouraged with the upgrades however, and I had a decent finish in Austria in a dry race - I think around 14th. But at Britain I was losing a second a lap and was struggling against Williams. I finished 25 seconds behind a Haas and that's were I am stuck (my set up was setting decent pace in FP as well). Away now to check the pace in Hungary

Its probably been suggested already, so apologies in advance, but any chance we can select the team country, and also have the team country and/or drivers country flag available to "place" on the car? Would be good to have more freedom with graphic (sponsors) placement, as well as the ability to change the drivers number design and team logo design. The game is great - my first F1 game was the 2016 which I dabbled with, same with 2017 and 2018 - never really got into them. I thought 2019 was a bit of step forward (even if the Devon Butler story was a bit childish - more could have been done with F2) and the 2020 game is another with the My Team, but is there any way we can design the graphics ourselves - I know other driving games allow it - and I know the problems is with people replicating licensed logos, idiots drawing and creating obscenities etc, but whilst the My Team is a great addition, its a bit boring design wise. Also looking forward to a patch for the xBox as mine sometimes takes an age to load....loading....please wait....loading....loading.....and then even crashes back to home screen. And why do I keep getting asked who I think my rival is between Hamilton, Bottas, Vettel and Leclerc? I am running about 17th! 🙂

I'm a bit new to this, so not entirely sure how it all works, but I also paid the extra £10 for the Schumacher edition thinking it would give me something extra - all I can see is that if I want a Schumacher livery its more money again. But perhaps I'm missing something.
