Abu Dhabi is annoying the cr@p out of me, 2 turns before the finishing straight I keep taking the wrong route and completely straying off the track. Nice track Hermann...

Restarted my career las night and went for 5 seasons and jumped in the sauber. Much better, brought the game back to life for me as I get fed up of the Lotus.

Finished third at Bahrain, even with a drive through for pit lane speeding.

Got a "well deserved" 4th

Was gutted, twice i made crucial errors which were basically shifting into a too low gear for a corner causing the wheels to spin and putting me out! Should have had 2nd frown

I wish you could turn gear 1 off lol

I hate that chicane so much. Stupid mickey mouse addition. Almost as bad as the extra bit at Bahrain!

Leading the championship in season two with Lotus, won Bahrain, Canada, Valencia, Germany and Belgium so far. Had two shockers at Catalunya and the Hungaroring like last year. All the teams dislike me because of my media comments though, where am I going wrong?

The patch works a treat, as I lost two wins at the start of the season due to Webber and Algersuari not pitting. Saw something strange at Spa though, I won by about 40-45 seconds on 20% distance, but in the results it said everyone else was a lap behind.

Monaco is the hardest thing ever.
Monaco is easy, Turn the damage on. Qualify as best as you can, full tilt off the grid into the first corner/lead cars. DNFs all round and minimal damage to your championship challenge.

After the patch, I'm still disappointed by the 'corner cutting' penalties. I'm in practice at Melbourne at the moment, and 9 our of 10 laps I'm doing end up getting invalidated. It's so tight on the rules that it's getting in the way of me just enjoying the game -- I'm having to completely avoid all the apexes just to get a valid quick lap in frown

Where do you see how the other teams feel about you? I can't find it anywhere. I'm only 8 races into my 1st season so it might not be there yet mind you.

As has been said, about midway through the season. In your agent's page. A circle will appear next to a team's name, open that up and it'll tell you what they think of you.

Getting miffed with Valencia in career.

First year, expert, Lotus.

Qualified 9th, making up places and every single time within the first 3 laps the AI slams on the brakes in the double apex bit near the end of the lap. I try and take every measure to avoid them but the just slow down on the apexes.

Really annoying.

On a brighter note, had my first Pole and Podium (3rd) in the last race - Canada.

Online is good bar the odd idiot - only problem is I only know half the tracks so far! hehe

Hmmmmm,AI is legendary - I'm playing on expert.

Guess I'll just have to risk it each lap.

i think i've lost some skill over night as my first few races i had the AI setting on professional and could usually qualify about mid table for about the first 3 races with virgin racing, now though im about a second off the pace therefore im dead last and during a race im very close to being lapped, not enjoyable, now either i have got st over night or the difficulty level has gone up very quickly

I found it varies from track to track... Some I just can't get near the front, some I win, and some I am hopeless at.

Best: Australia, Turkey and Canada
Nightmare: China, Spain and Monaco (which are in a row and I thought I had just lost some skill too)

I noticed that Virgin tend to be a bit slow bringing the updates to the party. Could be a reason for your lack of pace.
