It does you can read martin brundles blog on sky f1 website no he goes into slightly less detail but it’s very well written.

Jolyen palmer does something similar on the bbc website

Lol yes good point .. to
Be fair Hamilton used to post a lot on social
Media after the race but I think he’s kind of gone off it after the Christmas thing

He posted that his nephew was wearing a dress or something and expressed mild amusement that boys shouldn’t and of course in pc gone made internet world got slapped down hard

Not really

Started in P9, got swamped at the start after getting aload of wheel spin. Fell down to P12, but due to my wet setup i started to gain places rather quickly as other drivers struggled in the wet conditions.

I was scheduled for a 2 stop race but decided to gamble in a one stop early on. The track was drying but not enough for slick when i was radioed to come in. I thought if i extended the stint maybe id get lucky and the track would dry enough for slick, saving me a pitstop.

I extended as far as i could (lap 15 of 33) and realised i had no choice but to come in for another set of inters. The good news was my extended stint meant that i re-emerged in P6 and Sainz in P7 was 8 seconds behind.

The other cars ahead of me went in for a second stop at lap 23, I was in P2 and once again battling Riccardo. I was running the engine (new one was fitted for the race) in lean mode around the track and would switch to rich mode on the straights. My wet weather setup meant i was quick in the corners. I held Riccardo off, lap after lap after lap. By lap 31 my front left was 76% worn. The team were radioing i should come in, but with two laps left i thought i would carefully manage the tyre and bring the car home.

Last lap, 33 still holding Riccardo off, go into turn 3 and my front left goes. Puncture. Shit. Riccardo goes screaming past. Damn all that work for nothing. Verstappen goes screaming past as does Kimi. I was now in P5 trying to bring the car home and not smash into walls. Sainz was closing in quicker and quicker every corner. Last lap i thought to myself, fuck sakes. I eventually got around the last corner (i ignored the pits) and managed to bring the car home in P5. In the end the gap was too much for Sainz to bridge.

Onto Monaco next and a wee crank up of the difficulty, going from hard to very hard. Gulp.

Does it still have rewinds?

I think Dino mentioned that Rewind is mapped to a button on the steering wheel but had not indicated that this button has actually been pressed so far...

Cheers .. I’m alright on Monaco having pounded round it so many times historically but I could not finish Singapore even with all
The rewinds
It’s just so unforgiving and it’s faster than Monaco which helps you get into a rhythm. Cos your rarely going very fast

I love Singapore, when you get into the rhythm, its hypnotic and fast, the way the corners come at you relentlessly.

I try not to use flashback in a GP. Defo dont use it in FP or Qually. For me its useful when baby needs attention or missus is calling. i can pause and flashback gives me the last ten seconds back when i was trying to pause the game and not really concentrating.

Was tempted to get it on PC for 22 quid, but Assetto Corsa is out on the 12th so it can wait for a sale.

You can leave it all at default and not worry about any of it. When I venture into those menus or call the engineer it's normally on a straight as I'd go off the track as well.

Found a track i hate as much as monaco. Suprise suprise its a french track, Paul Ricard. Bloody difficult circuit. So many long winding corners, vicious double corners and chicanes.

P1 was a disaster, failed every goal, struggled to keep it on the track and to top it off broke the front wing.

P2 had a gearbox failure and the session was wiped out because of said failure.

P3 had an cooling fault so lost some time. Failed the goals set by the team. Im not looking forward to qually.

Q1 changed the setup. Not driven the car on new setup but thought what the hell. Somehow managed to qualify 13th.

Q2 running 11th, decided to go out again on a fresh tyres and try one more time. Turn 2, somehow i took it perfectly, i gain 0.9 seconds. wow. Into turn 8 and im carrying 0.7 second improvement. If i can only hold on. Nail the apex's dino, i tell myself. Onto the start/finish straight still 0.7 seconds up. Cross the line in P6. Wow P6, im into Q3 and i dont understand how.

Q3, dont think i can replicate that lap in Q2, that was totally hooked up and a fluke.
Well that was a suprise, somehow im hooking it up and got the car to P5. Alonso in P7. Wow im so suprised.

Onto the race...

Doesn’t seem like a particularly realistic strategy there.

I can’t remember anyone doing a scheduled three stop this year. Mostly everyone one stops and the only strategy calls are the under cut or going long,

It’s a bit too many dnfs this season has seen very few, 

I mean it’s all a bit how I remember Codie’s f1 game. It’s like they’ve got no idea how the season is going to pan out despite launching halfway through the season.

That sounds a bit like the game engine keeping things exciting by making the race more dramatic; also fun!
