I admit that it is possible, with a lot of trial and error, to get the Logitech G25 to a point where the car is driveable in this game, but only barely driveable and it never feels comfortable. I have a keen interest in true motor racing simulation, and that is how the game was sold, yet there's the strong sense that Codemasters have tailored this game to the 13-year-old Xbox gamer who just wants a bit of light-hearted fun and knows nothing about driving physics or cornering style. It might well be that the game work beautifully on a controller (or even another steering wheel I haven't got another) with full driving aids enabled, but that is of no interest to me. I recognise that these are 750hp monsters racing on the brink of what is possible, but as a driver with 20 years' experience with racing simulators, the game does not provide enough information through the steering wheel to correctly establish the attitude of the car, so finding that line between perfect corner exit and a slide into the barriers is more about guesswork than learning to read the car and the controls. Another concession to the console generation is that the car has almost no warning of loss of grip. Again, Codemasters concede and resort to the arcade mentality they are so often sucked into, as the game artificially slows the car when it's off the road, rather than relying on accurate physics. There is far too much grip on grass and cars simply glide over gravel as though it's not there. Off-road car physics is appalling and nowhere near realistic. Even if you instantly straighten the steering wheel, there is some "lingering" in the steering that reeks of a concession to the controller, where the game is trying to accommodate corner exits on a less than suitable control method. Now combine this with the straightening of the wheel on corner exit. These should match up, but far too much input is required from your wheel to get even the slightest movement on-screen in a slow speed corner. Now compare this with the on-screen hands. The first time you come across any corner that is more than a slight kink, let alone a hairpin, and you will find yourself turning the wheel more than a full revolution, necessitating a hand movement. Yet despite Codemasters providing a Logitech G25 preset for the game, thus acknowledging that players are using this wheel as a viable option, the steering is nowhere near sensitive enough. Watch the on-board footage from any Formula One race and watch out for any moment when the driver takes his hands away from their default "quarter to three" position. A massive shame that leaves this title thoroughly unimproved from the previous year. It is ruined by such terrible steering wheel controls as to make the game virtually unplayable, and feels through and through like it was designed for the console generation to be played on a controller. It A beautiful looking and sounding game has once again been ruined by Codemasters' insistence on catering for the lowest common denominator.

Of course there are lot of pros> rich settings of difficulty of this game, very nice sound and design of formulas. Conclusion: If these problems will be solved, I think that I would give 8 or 9 points of 10 to this game. When I put Wet or Intermediate tyres and continue racing, the grip is very bad, because there isn't raining at all. 4) If you go to pit, there is not displayed the amount of fuel which is being given to your car, so it means that you will race for 4 laps and you will run ouf fuel. In the other words you will loose because used tyres doesn't provide good grip. Race Career 3) When I pass all qualification races and I finally get to GP, you cannot change your tyres, so if you used them all in the qualification before, you have to race with used one. 2) In graphic settings there isn't an option: Fullscreen, so I must find difficult way to play this game in Fullscreen by editing some *.ini file. I think there should be some Settings or Options when I turn on this game in the main menu. 1) If I want to set my graphics first like in every game I have to go to some F1 category where is settings option. However, there are lot of things I really don't like. 1) If I want to set my graphics first like In my opinion this game could be perfect. In my opinion this game could be perfect.
