There is definitely an issue with the fuel mixture flashing that has been introduced... I can't stop looking at it :smile:

When it turns white it is when you are off throttle

Not when it is constantly flashing green, red and white.  It's never a stable colour. PC windows 10 insider build latest nvidia driver

When will the 1.9 patch be out for Mac OS?

That'll be up to Feral Interactive, who do the port... but they've been quite quick so far, so hopefully next week.

Max is so **** slow on this game it's unreal 

@Coffer would say it's perfect now. 

Because it is. It was already realistic to see Massa in his Australia state beat him over and over, and now it's the same with Perez with an even better car. Driver-wise, this is correct. The only issue is that for whatever reason they half-assed the car updates so the FI is much stronger than it should be even though the game is still seemingly trying to go with the Australia stats.

Lmfao. Your Verstappen bashing isn't credible anymore. Start to think you're just a troll. 

Past a certain point it's hard to take toothpaste fans like you seriously. But sure, keep thinking he's actually good if that's what makes you sleep well at night.

I'm currently doing baku 100% race as hulk and I'm in 6th, checo is in 5th and max is in 10th. Very strange

There's a lot of variance in the AI results. Verstappen just finished 3rd for me there. Give it a few races and keep track of the average results. That should give you a better indication.

Bet there are more people with my opinion about Verstappen, than yours. As I said earlier, you the only one I met that have this opinion. And probably you stay the only one.

Whats this Verstappen bashing? He is one of the best in the field right now considering his bad luck and sometimes agressiv driving style, he manages it very well. He outqualified Daniel nearly on every race weekend and if the Red Bull Car has the pace he manages it very well until the end, just look at Suzukua. Daniel had zero chance to even drive at the same pace, so it really sucks that ingame he is dropping behind him and some others!

AI not changing initial strategy when stop on SC or change conditions

for example... initial strategy is stop in lap 15 and start rain on lap 12... so AI stop in lap 13 to change tyres to intermediate and in lap 15 stop again to change to new intermediate

How van i use Spectator UI on xbox?☺☺☺☺☺

[tarrantino 120]

There’s a really frustrating flickering on the fuel remaining number when changing gear. Not sure if it’s auto gears only but annoying

Join an online multiplayer race. It doesn't work in single player.

its also in manual! I think its fully inteded, it stops when you release the throttle so it only lights up when it consumps fuel. I don't mind it all.

As a person who solely plays single player career mode it's very disheartening to have changes that impact the fundamental performance of the game without any choice in the matter.

I believe that we should have been given the option as to whether the changes in car performance apply to our career mode or not. I'm at Force India and my car has now been given a massive buff and is now level with a Red Bull in the performance chart. It takes away from the fun if outside changes are imposed upon you without any choice.

I'm also disappointed with the changes to the handling model. The cars were really fun drive and perfectly balanced in the old patch. I can understand the need for the re-balancing of TC for online modes, but there is no reason the old settings couldn't have been left in for Grand Prix and Career mode. 

Hopefully, in future games more consideration will be given to the impact on all players and game modes.

Very fair comment and nicely put. I agree with you 100%

This needed to be communicated with end users, and have detail on what is changing and why before dumping this on us.

Totally unfair to turn on a console and receive an update which slows you down and completely changes the handling, all without a detailed explanation

Good shout. Didn’t think of it like that. Just a little distracting at times.

Could be. They should put an option in it to turn it off. I find it quite annoying.

Don't think so. In this thread http://forums.codemasters.com/discussion/59060/flickering-fuel-level#latest
@F1Support mentioned, that the issue is known to them. So I expect it to be fixed in a future patch.

I hope they balance the R&D performance per upgrade to each team. Like the Mercedes upgrades receiving a lower performance bonus them Mclaren's for example. That's should become possible to lead a lower team to be one of the top. The way it is, that's impossible.

Game crashes in replay (instant replay) mode!!!

Apparently the safety car is still broken and STILL doesn't come out when it needs to

[KevRusski 0]

If racing online and you go to the pause menu as you pit you get a stop go penalty every time.

In the time trial screen there is a Mercedes with a red 22, is this supposed to be correct? Every other screen has real drivers numbers

Been waiting for the livery update for a while. Props to Codemasters for making it happen. Just been racing in Hungary and it still has dark/black grass and parts of the circuit. Would be nice to have that fixed though...

Monza still has black circuit parts as well

So stopped coming on here for a few days and still people are talking about nice to get right bugs instead of game breaking bugs!  I get some aren't playing online maybe even most but have guys not ever had a safety car problem? I suppose they all need to be reported and codies need to prioritise what they are going to fix next time.  I just hope the real game breaking bugs are not forgotten about for the hardcore fans who buy the game every year.

The Safety Car issues are like No. 1 and 2 on their list of things to fix for 1.10 Patch ...... ?
