I don't know if there already is a topic about it, but will we be able to upgrade our ps4 f1 2020 game to the ps5? E.g. I have the disc version of f1 2020 on ps4, but I will get the digital ps5 version (so without disc input). Will I then be able to get a free upgrade like you get with games like fifa 21? Or do I have to buy the whole game again?

I get your point, but I discussed it with many people in league racing and we all feel the same about it, its so inconsistent at sometimes that it becomes annoying. I know its not a simulator and I accept that, but I do feel, as they are the official video game, they have to somehow replicate real live aspects in the game. Such as track limits being applied when you cross the cerbs with all 4 wheels in stead of the white line.

Honestly the track limits on this game are a joke, regular track limits is like non existing track limits, the amount of cutting you can get away with is ridiculous and the strict track limits are way to harsh. The track limits on strict need to be limiting after the cerbs in stead of the white line just like irl... Also why does every corner on this game have track limits? There are corners where you don't even gain time if you go wide or cut the inside but you still get a penalty... Please have a look into this

I think it needs to be our own responsibility, we need to have more freedom in tire choices and usage. E.g. if you decide to go for the softest allocation you're not able to use the mediums in qualy. Maybe they can lock 1 set of mediums/hards or choose yourself if you lock 1 of them or both or none at all, but then at least have the option that all the other compounds are open to use in fp, so if you want to use a set of sofas extra in stead of a set of mediums in fp you should be able to do so, that way you can go with softer compounds but have some freedom of using mediums or even hards (even though they are to slow and cant do what verstappen did in silverstone) in qualy. Hope it clear 😅

It would be great if you had the option to fully choose your compounds (of course a minimal of 1 from each compound) in stead of the three choices you have now. And then being able to use all of them without some being reserved. Then you need to give back 2 sets after the practise sessions and have all the remaining compounds available in quily, so you can maybe do 2 medium runs in qualy and safe a set of softs for q3 or the race.

I came across a video yesterday about gt sport livery editor. It would be great to have something similar in the f1 game. Here is the video I saw: https://youtu.be/AlxpqURaQyc

I would like to see some changes to the weather predictions. In stead of showing us that its going to rain in certain sessions of the weekend, show us there is an x% chance of rain during the session, so we don't know if/when it's going to rain. For example if you know the race starts with rain you won't take the chance to qualify on the mediums, where as you know there might be rain but its not sure you maybe would take the gamble. Also if you know before the race starts there is going to be rain halfway through the race you can stretch you stint to the race because the rain is 100% coming, if in stead there would be a 60% chance of rain in the race, you will not know if/when it comes and be kind of level with the AI, cause the sometimes pit and you strech your stint 5 more laps and have a huge advantage. This can be the case sometimes but not always, your engenier could give you an indication on the rain but it won't be correct all the time so you have to think if you're willing to take the risk to wait for potential rain or pit for new slicks with the possibility that you'll have to come in in 3/4 laps for inters. Hope it is clear, tried to explain it the best I could.

In this years game you can do some customizations to your helmet and car, however you are still limited to what you can do. Ofcourse those playing on PC can mod their own desings in the game but we on console aren't able to do that. That's why I thought of an idea to give everyone more customization options. Being able to make your own car and helmet from scratch on the f1 website and also being able to upload your livery and helmet if you made it in photoshop. Then link your account on the site with your steam/PSN/Xbox etc. accounts to upload them in game. If this is possible it would be awesome to have something like this. This is proabably a very difficult taskt to do but love to hear your toughts about it. Some little customizable options that proabably aren't as hard to implement is being able to have complete freedom of where to put sponsors on the car, or if they really need to be in a specific place, being able to change the color, for example, the first slot goes on the side, front wing and rear wing, but they are always the same color, but the color on the car is different so if I want the logo on the side in black, I can't do that if my front and/or rear wing are black. Also the race number on the car is always black, it would be nice to have an option to change that color aswell as it doesn't make sense that the race number is black on a black car. Finally I would like to have an option to edit my helmet in a way that I can choose where the sponsors are going, what colors they have etc. and to be able to put my race number on the helmet. I am not the best at explaining my thoughts but I hope it's al clear.

I'm on ps4, why isn't there just an option to turn only the commentary to dutch? I don't want my whole ps to be in dutch and the game in dutch, just commentary... is it so hard for codemasters to give us an option to turn on dutch commentary and have the rest of the game in English, just like fifa?

How can I turn on dutch commentary? Its advertised that its in the game but I only get English commentary... there is no setting to turn it to dutch. It would be great if something you advertise with would actually be in the game. It even says it on the box, so please put it in the game!

If you go to 'corporate' in the headquarters menu, there will be an option called 'customisation' there you will be able to add your secondary sponsors on the car.

I think there should be more options to customize helmet, car and your suit. For example the abbreviation of my team name is "DSR" it would be a great feature to add a text box on the helmet, car and suit. Also you are very limited in the colors on the helmets, some colors are locked and can't be changed, or if you want a certain stripe to change color other parts get that same color, it would be a nice feature if you can select a part on the helmet (e.g. a stripe) and give it an individual color. I would also like to see an option where you can add some patterns to your helmet/car/suit, like some stars/stripes etc. on for example the engine cover (think of what Mercedes has on their car). Maybe being able to add the flag of your country on the top of your helmet (or just any place) in a shape you like would be cool aswell. Hope some of these ideas will be considered and can maybe find their way into the game.

I miss the red flag to, if there is a pile up or a huge crash, they dont need to just despawn but there needs to be a red flag with restart behind SC...

Also very good ideas, hope that we can see some of these in the next game

I recently thought of a few things that would be nice (and easy to implement) for future F1 games (I still one day hope Codemasters are going to listen to us, as some ideas are there for ages): - Being able to customize the more than now (gp mode), now you can only pick 4 weather options for during the race, especially in 100% races you should be able to customize it more. The idea I had was to make a sort slider where you can almost exactly customize the whole race. Look at the picture below (yes, it's made with paint and I'm not good at it, but at least it's bit of an impression of the idea, also maybe the minutes can be replaced with laps, for example 5/56 laps --> 10/56 laps etc.). - Helmet customization: being able to make a helmet on your own (on the f1 game website for people who are not that good in designing/editing or just completely on your own if you are good at it) then being able to upload it to your account (pc, Xbox and ps4) to use it in game. Also being able to add sponsors onto the helmet. - Visually seeing the care change when making changes to the setup. - Being able to see the setup of your teammate. - Better damage model, the current state of the damage model is just so unrealistic, just look at the tecpro barriers for example, if you go into it with a lot of speed, a part of the car needs to stick into it, not bounce of it. Also there need to be random failures for the player, e.g. suspension failure or engine failure - Test drivers taking over fp1 a few times a season, also they complete practise programs. - More practise programs, like installation lap in fp1, practise starts etc. - The AI need to make more mistakes, especially in the rain. I drive without assists, so it is frustrating to see the AI be so fast straight away, they need to occasionally crash out or outbreak themselves, especially at the start of the session. Also, in the dry they need to have moments of oversteer etc.
