Hello, I am reviewing this game again as my opinion of the game changed recently.

I recently started enjoying the game out of nowhere, after disliking it for half a year pretty much. I didn't enjoy driving it, I found it too oversteery and things, but suddenly my pace changed and I think I found out how to be quick.

Anyway let's get onto the review (will contain parts from the last review)

Positives:

-Spectator cam: During sessions when ur in the garage during the session u can spectate also when u retire u can have an even better cameras, it doesn't lag too much its good. In my opinion the F1 2017 spectator cam is better but still this is a fairly good one.
- AI Pace: (not behaviour) the ai's pace is good especially ultimate ai.
- Career mode, immersive career mode with teams performance changing u can become a top runing car with time even with a manor.
- R&D Engineer and Agent: I like Chris a lot I dont know he is a cool guy and Emma is nice too..
Paddock. Its not the same feeling as f12010 but its ok.
- Engineer: Not the most exciting engineer not as emotional as f12010 engineer (i know i keep comparing the 2 games), but a plus point is how detailed the engineer is, you can get a lot of useful information, fuel weather, team mate, driver in front, behind, full race update box this lap, im not gonna continue there are many things u can ask
little annoying when it says they dont have information.
-Formation lap and Manual starts. Both are cool new features, obviously when this game came out it was new I wish u could park your car on the grid though as it feels pretty wierd driving most of the lap then where the best bit comes the ai takes control and the tyres and everything resets. It kinda makes the whole formation lap pointless for me.
However at least u can start manually, by releasing the clutch etc.
- Multiplayer system: You can have a full weekend pretty much, full practise full quali absolutely everything, you can setup the weather and time of the day which are also awesome things. You can script the weather xD
BEST NEW OPTION for league racing - " If you disconnect,- the ai will control your car and you can rejoin the session and you can GET BACK AND CONTINUE racing. This is an amazing feature which now new f1 games have. I have to worry less about disconnecting then on old gen where if I disconnect there is NO coming back unless the lobby restarts.

That's it for really positive. now let's discuss the handling.

I used to really hate it. It seriously demotivated me from enjoying the game, in fact probably cause of that I didn't play it much for a while..
Imo this handling is, quite tricky on the rear end and has a bit of understeer. However. Upshiftig really helps you with wheelspin, that strategy is what made me faster by a mile, since the rear has so much spin, when u upshift and ur on low revs it still gives you a good speed.. and understeer, you just need to adjust to it.
A con which I need to mention is, with a pad I have to use abs and medium tc to be fast but you know what I don't care, since I'm not used to the crazy amounts of wheelspin it gives u with off. And I don't wanna be used to that... Im tc off on 6 other racing games you can give me a pass :D.
The way I suddenly got used to it by the way is lot of time trial practise round malaysia which payed off and ended me in the top 100.

Negatives

- Strict corner cutting: As much as its a helpful thing, I don't like it, I feel its unfair, in my opinion if i go off the track it should give me a DELTA as to how much time I need to lift off or it will invalidate my lap, meanwhile if i even slip off the track having full brakes on or anything, it invalidates, doesnt matter how i went there, i totally disagree with that.
With a pad its also hard to aim at a good turning point so then u will understeer naturally, and in order for u to take it clean due to the strict cutting u lose a lot to wheel users. Also my definition of track limits is different. Also I just prefer if I have more room for error, so I can make a few mistakes.
--Important things missing: Player statistics, Helmet design changing (u can go around it in multi if u adjust your pro career driver), Multiple save game spots.
Readying up online: How come that the host can't start the lobby? why does a certain number of people have to be ready? the host should be the boss
- Vote to kick: well im a bit uncertain whether its needed or not needed, at least it should be there as reccomendation to the host if u dont want the lobby to have the permission to get rid of trolls
-Online ranks missing , i know its not there since 2012 but it would be nice to know how well some people doing with their profiles or what can u excpect, like with grid with the level system. this isnt a negative this is more like.. why not putting in there :)

So overall. I always though this game was decent but I couldn't like it cause of the driving experience however it changed, this is probably the best next gen f1 released as overall. It's tight between this and F12015 at the moment. I can't decide. But 17 is way worse I'm not a fan of that handling much either, it has so low grip in high speed corners, its been made so weird..

So overall rating 8,7/10

Reccomended? I think yeah. But it took me ages to get used to, so don't be disappointed if u suck at it first I did too. It took me like, a lot of months XD I got this May 2017.

Thx for reading. Leave a thumbs up so more people can see this. Have a good day,

Hi my opinion changed of it in 2016, after league racing I find the game is pretty broken online and is not fun
