Hows your races been guys.  Post a story or share a own made video with commentary or without.

Just had a blast on Melbourne. Started season 1 on renault with magnussen. Started from 7th place and magnussen 16th. First 6 lap went nice holding place and after pit the fight began. Mercedes dominated, ferrari had issues with engine so räikkönen felt to 10th. Vettel suffered puncture and i had massive fight with bottas and ricciardo for points. After lap 20 and pit there was massive crash by kyvat and perez so safety car came out and thats when things got really interesting. Whole train of cars, safety car leaves and race started. I managed to pass bottas for 5th place and magnussen saw opportunity for 9th place after sainz crashed with haryato and räikkönen really nasty. 

Was really pleased with 5th place and points.  Team did great job and car worked really well. Had few traction issues between 22-27 laps but managed to solve issue and keep position.

Race won by hamilton, roseberg 2nd and verstappen 3rd. Looking for next race weekend at Bahrain. Was thinking of going with soft compound and heavy fuel but lets see how all practice sessions goes. At melbourne suffered collision with wall and so P1 was out of question. Also p3 went tyre management and got brakes locked and smashed to wall so managed to do only p2 fully. Wont use flashbacks at all for more points.

I've had some very enjoyable races so far and also some really frustrating ones. Best one I've had so far was at Austria in career, there was safety cars and the track chewed up everyones tyres more than expected. It was madness, I was racing another car on every lap of the race. Then on the last few laps the two Mercedes crashed into each other (I had to laugh at the realism of this), which bumped me up to 2nd and my team mate Sainz up to 3rd. Awesome double podium for Toro Rosso.

getting a 5 place grid penalty for Ricciardo rear ending ME driving into the pits !!!!

Every time I notice something that makes me think "Wow! Codemasters have really paid attention to detail", such as the AI moving over when they are on an in/out lap. The little things.

Any confirmation was it rosbergs fault or hamilton? Video footage please codies! :D
Haha I wish I had recorded that part of the replay! This was actually Hamilton's fault, took Rosberg out at turn 1, a shame it wasn't up at the hair pin. For some reason this game seems to hate Hamilton in my career mode, he's always leading by miles but then will get a penalty for speeding under the safety car. Or today at Germany his engine blew on the last lap, literally as he was about to cross the line. He crossed the line but the game still classed him as a DNF.

Insane 18 person start on a public lobby. Probably the best moment I've had on this game yet.

How about my worst moment that just happend? I was driving thru the second DRS zone on Australia, passed Palmer on the inside during the right hand corner, Palmer hit me in the left rear tyre, spinning me around and there comes my teammate Verstappen and uses my front as a ramp. The ending result is no front nose, two flat tyres and a 5 place grid penalty, all thanks to hopefull AI....
