Hungary – not a track that I’ve ever been that good at and just to emphasise that even more my team finished 3places ahead of me and overtook me in the championship.
Spa – reasonable result. After a stormy qualifying it was Kimi who took pole in a race that remained in overcast conditions until the penultimate lap where it started spitting with rain. Half the AI switched to infers and half stayed out.I was among those who stayed out and it payed off as Raikkonen won and I came in 5th ahead of my team mate.
Monza – a surprise. I took pole. But Rosberg had me into t1. and I never saw him again. I trained Lewis and the top 5 for the first half of the race before they all did the undercut on me. But I was on newer tyres and I was closing on Bottas fast. 4 seconds a lap even. Then a load of random s*** happened where Bottas smashed into a wall which triggered a crash between Hamilton and a lapped car, sainz I think, anyway as I went through the lesmos’ I saw Hamilton and sainz in the gravel trap and from then on I finished in 4th.Rosberg won from Massa by 56 seconds who was 10 seconds ahead of Vettel then I was 5 seconds behind him then 5th placed Kimi was lapped.
Monaco – I have no words. We qualified 17th with Hamilton ahead of us in 16th and we gained postions on lap 1 but come lap 4 Hamilton took me out at t1 and that was my race over and more annoying Lewis came back to come 2nd ahead of Kimi.
Canada- to be honest I dont really remember what happened but I definitely didn’t finish higher than 6th or lower than 12th.
Austria – Another track where Mercedes powered cars would be faster but it randomly started heavy rain around half way through and stopped again 5 minutes later. My team mate Nasr came home for a surprise 3rd only behind Vettel and Grosjean (the mercs both retired)
Silverstone – truly amazing. We qualified on pole but as per usual a horrific start saw me down to around 7th by lap 2. I fought back into second but Lewis was so far ahead by then no one could have caught him. We comfortably bringing it home in 2nd with Rosberg 5 seconds behind them on the penultimate lap Hamilton gets a puncture and we take our first win at the British grand prix moving Nico into first in the championship and us into 7th.
So I started a career as Ericsson in the 2015 season on Xbox one doing 50% races(short quality, 30min practice)
Legend AI , abs off, tc medium, autogears,racing line off.Australia went ok as far as I remember I probably finished about 8th or 9th and I fantasy I qualified any higher than that.
For Malaysia I actually used a setup which made a huge difference (it took me a while to realise that you have load the setup again in qualifying) and I qualified in 4th. To my surprise I finished in 2nd albeit due to Rosberg and Massa colliding on lap one.
China was very quiet I seem to remember qualifying about 12th and finishing 10th.
Bahrain was decent but as with Malaysia luck played into my hands for me to come home 4th at a track where Mercedes powered cars were dominant.
Spain – definitely one of the more satisfying results as I took a solid 5th and I battled hard with the Williams cars for 3rd at the start but dropped off throughout.
From what I’ve seen so far looks a step forward from f1 2014 the handling looks a bit twitchy with a controller but I think drivers that are decent will make it look more natural. The game itself and the quail its looks good and I really like the colour filter. Hopefully the gameplay is good and the “pro season” mode sounds good to me.
Sutil/Gutierrez was definitely one the worst lineups of recent years and none of the HRT lineups were ever slightly interesting.
