Nice try man 🙂 Its good to see my guy Seb lifting the championship cup with the reds tho 🙂 Also your teammate is nowhere to be seen, guess your car is not a great one?

No its not, I didn't start doing well until the second half of the season. I was like 8th or so in points at the half way point and just did a hard charge, winning a few races off strategy alone, and then driving about at my limit for the last race to pull out the win.

I usually set the difficulty where I can just have fun, make some mistakes and not be completely screwed so I don't have to spend a bunch of time practicing and can just run default setups. (Few years ago I got heavy into league racing and burned myself out, and quit racing for over a year, so I try not to get too serious these days). So if I genuinely /try/ I can win lol. So, knowing I wasn't going to be continuing my 2018 career since I had decided to get 2020, I went as hard as I could in an attempt to win the championship, still running default setups, but just actually trying my hardest lol.

It showed too, because I had 2 wins and one 1 podium in the first 12 races, both wins off strategy with weather involved lol. And 7 wins in the last 9 lmao. Singapore is what lost me the championship, I got caught out in pit strategy and ended up 13th, the only race I didn't finish on the podium in the final 9 races.

That was very nice season by looking at points, hope you had fun. I also set difficulty as you, enough to give challenge but also to be able to beat teammate with small mistake here and there. Fun is most important. What distance do you drive 50 or 100%?

Usually 50% but I did actually reduce to 25% length for the last 5 races, as I was running out of time (getting the Schumacher edition so I'll be playing soon lol) 25% races are a lot less tiring lol, but do actually add to the challenge a bit, because you have no time to make up for mistakes. 

The last race was glorious, we battled for the lead for basically the entire race, My car was so much slower that I wasn't able to keep vettel cleared on the long straights, but I finally got him by getting a better in/out on my pits and over took him as he was exiting the pits, from there I drove with every ounce of talent I had to keep him behind lol. Finished just .3 seconds ahead. Most fun I've had losing a championship in a long time lol.

 

This is what the points looked like coming out of Spa and then Brazil, Vettel was making the charge with me lol.

I have four races left on my second season on F1 2019. Desperately trying to finish it before Friday, sadly I’m almost certainly going to finish 2nd and be denied the World Championship on this game. Bravo for getting it all done in time!

Been playing 2020 all evening, and while I've noticed a few little bugs, the my team mode is pretty in depth from what I can tell, quite impressed with the jump from 2018 to this. The graphics look better but the game also runs smoother which is odd lol. Fiddling about trying to find a good difficulty to run. I feel a lot slower on 2020 (even in time trial), cars seem to have a lot more grip overall, but really under-steery at low speeds.

 

Also, I hate push to pass ERS control, I prefer 2018's setup.
