backmarker + maldonado = bad

Recommended Posts

If you was the one driving the redbull.Then sorry to have to tell you this but you was the "Maldonado" in that video.Running into the back of a lapped car as it slowed to let you go buy would be exactly what he would do.

Firstly, LOL ^
Secondly, it's as if lapped cars think the track limits are somehow different... ?

When you let a faster car pass, YOU DO NOT PLACE YOUR CAR ON THE APEX OF THE CORNER. YOU MOVE TO THE OUTSIDE LINE, AND NOT STAY ON THE RACING LINE. The video clearly shows that whoever is that Lotus driver, he put his car on the racing line. You are supposed to let cars pass by going out of the RACING LINE.

This is one thing that needs to be improved in the games succeeding f1 2015..

please,this guy approached that corner like that car wasn't even there and just hoped for the best even though he seen a car there.There was absolutely no defensive driving.The lotus could have been at the apex.He could have been to the outside.Hell,he could have been upside down in the fence.The redbull guy wouldn't have changed anything about how he dove into that corner. If you guys would drive like you normally would as if its real instead of driving like you know its just a game.The game could be made more realistic.

Maldonado braked on the apex and I took that corner much slower then normally and I knew he was still quite far ahead of me and then all of sudden I'm on his gear box? A smart ai would've kept going normally on the racing line and let me through on the Drs straight that was coming up and why is it that you don't mention maldonado driving into the barrier? Is that realistic? OK maybe a little given that it's maldonado, but still...

Also I didn't even drive into him that fast considering I didn't lose any of my front wing
did you just use codemasters damage model as prove you didn't hit him hard?

In the video, why cant the backmarker just slow down and just simply go off the racing line. He could have done it just before the 1st Lesmo rather than still going at racing speed and then slowing down, stupidly at the apex of that corner. It is simple. Once you see a car faster than you, just simply go off the racing line and slow down and let them pass, then continue normal speed. Even more at the 2nd lesmo, that is a clear penalty... cant it be that simple?

...whatever he does you still have to react to it and protect yourself.Do something, anything but drive straight into were he is at.You guys don't do much to protect your car from the crappy AI.You get crashed and just say "well its bad AI".Well, If you know your getting ready to pass a dumbass AI car before you pas him and he STILL manages to crash you.Its your fault.

How pathetic. Of course you have TO REACT everytime and be aware. IT IS because of the RULES IN F1 THAT WE WANT IT TO BE RESPECTED. A backmarker HAS TO and not MUST, SLOW DOWN AND LET FASTER CARS PASS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THERE IS NO ARGUMENT IN SAYING IT IS BAD AI, IF THEY DO NOT FOLLOW THE RULES REGARDING BACKMARKERS, IT IS ABSOLUTELY THEIR FAULT. In the video, it is clearly Maldonado's fault. First by not letting the player lap him and next by slowing down on the apex of the corner. Then he even doesn't let the player lap him before the 2nd lesmo as by doing that, A T BONE is highly possible had the player continued going on normally through the 2nd lesmo where afterwards he hits the barrier and then blocks the track but also the player, and clearly his fault. Secondly, in regards to CRAPPY AI, they can do anything in this game THAT YOU CANNOT COUNTER or REACT to ruin your race. I am sure codemasters will improve on this for f1 2016. BUT TO RESPOND WITH A PATHETIC REASON LIKE THAT, ON AN F1 GAME, is just STUPID.

Well dam man, do you want to crash out of the race or at the very least make a mess of it and complain about the AI or do you want to finish the race,do it with technic and then complain about the AI? You people drive the car like you know its just a game.The AI is bad,we all know that.There is nothing,and I mean absolutely nothing in this guys driving style that would apply  to any real world racing.Maybe if players would drive with any slim hint of actually driving a f1 car we would have a game that isn't arcade.

Nonsense. He bumped into the back of the Lotus because it was travelling EXCESSIVELY slowly on the apex of the first Lesmo. At the point he taps the Lotus he's actually slowed to 62mph which is absolutely ridiculously slow for that corner. If a backmarker is going to take the racing line of a corner he HAS to maintain full racing speed so as not to hold up the car behind. In this instance the backmarker slowed down MASSIVELY but continued on the normal racing line which left the Red Bull nowhere to go.

oF course its bad AI,but if he would drive the car with alittle technic needed to drive a F1 car and not driving it like its just a game he wouldn't have hit him.

Also the lotus slowed down because he dipped his right wheel off track dragging the curb,and the redbull had 3 seconds to react to it.
