Great on the first glance, but suspicion pays off

First: It is very realistic purely in the game. In an interview-based data such as name, nationality, etc are queried. Then you'll be asked for what team you want to go. Very generous when you consider that only the best drivers get into F1. Well.

Training: A casual time trial, most of the cars will be developed, which is a very realistic aspect of me also quite surprised. The pit menu is also consistent. You sit in a racing car and race can read the monitor, select the setup and view the statistics in relation to the teammates. Out of the box driving the car rather chamber through the box, but you can influence the speed slightly. In training the AI ​​no fliers are realistic, but no brake pads.

Qualifying: Here begins the case to be doubtful: you choose the career menu, select "Short weekend" is qualifying from a 20-minute session. But we choose a long weekend, it will be three sessions. And as the first point of criticism. It is not uncommon to run the Q1 in the dry, Q2 and Q3 in the pouring rain again different. The qualifying will be held on one day, the developers is probably not known. If you want to drive more than 3 rounds must be in accordance with the fuel charge control. Very annoying when you are driving fully in the battle for top spot or focused on. Man is constantly interrupted.

Race: Realistic but also funny!
The race strategy can be influenced, of course, but the weather forecast is as reliable as a blonde in football. I often stood on intermediates in the pouring rain or on wet tires on a drying track. If you go then times out of the box, one should expect that the adversary runs through by a. What led only to fright quickly leads to laughter, then the frustration. If the physics of the enemy then is again real, and he rammed a then, one has the wupp schwupp a 20 seconds penalty on the heel. But is also clear when the autopilot rams someone you have to pay for it of course -.-
Even with the abbreviation is no different. Once the route is fully utilized, the same message: Warning, Repeated abbreviating. Still better than in F1 2006 where the speed was still greatly reduced and you had the same the next sentence in the bag.
In the rain it comes times to that of one or two turns of the track, quite sympathetic. However, such a thing as the safety car is still a foreign word. If you attach importance to entertainment, I recommend the team radio. Again and again he annoys a that the engine is running too hot, but you can easily switch from the 7th to 1st gear without the motor are also just a sign. Punctures occur only in hard Aufprällen with the crash barriers. Generally the pit radio is unimportant. In addition that you never know how the distances are. However, the lap times are always displayed.

The graphics are great, especially when it rains you have to be careful to stay in reality. The controls are good driveability even and especially the braking is quite realistic, because often block the wheels.

Purchase is recommended, but only needed! What is new then but some just too stupid! Will be interesting to F1 2011. However, it is clearly the best F1 racing game of all time. (...)
