I've had it on very high downforce and it's a little better but my straight line speed sucks!

I'm really struggling on Expert difficulty in the Manor mainly due to the handling seems to have changed from the patch for the worse. No matter what setting I choose I cannot drive quickly round corners without the back end going. This is why I was 5 seconds off the pace at Russia and at Spain...

I'd persevere with it, I wasn't anywhere near as impressed with it after Australia as I am now. Although I tried Russia for the first time and was miles off the pace.

Personally yes it's by far the best F1 game for 10 years! The graphics are average but the gameplay and career is very very good.

I played it after the patch and didn't see any sparks.

New patch out for PS4. A lot has been updated and it playes even better now. http://forums.codemasters.com/discussion/45889/ps4-patch-notes-05-09-2016#latest

Front brake bias - changes how much braking force is put through the front wheels, the higher it is the easier it is to lock up. Lower it and when you brake hard the back end moves around a lot. I tend to have it at 60-64% Differential - changing this affects level of rotation from the car or...

What a strange race I had at China. As previously mentioned I saved the game about 20 laps in and was running 6th. I was due to pit when Alonso retired and brought the SC out, so I dived in the pits and came out 11th. Then everyone else pitted and I was in 3rd!! Anyway had to pit again for...

China in the Manor - qualified 13th. Managed to get up to 7th from a dive down the first corner. I thought by upping the difficulty I would find it harder but the engine upgrade seems to have us running ahead of Sauber and Renault. Saved it halfway through in 6th place but will drop...

I've now found a solution to the handling on the PS4 pad. Changing the differential settings for both on/off throttle have improved it massively. I finished Bahrain on career last night and I've had to up the difficulty as a result as I qualified 12th and finished the race 9th in the Manor...

I hate Monaco too but I'm yet to try it. I'm struggling to find a decent setup with the controller with all assists off, so had to put traction control on medium. Needs adjusters for the triggers as full throttle is about 3/4 of the travel on the trigger. I'm going from slow to spinning and...

Struggled for pace in Bahrain. Only managed 20th in FP3. I just can't get a decent setup. Hoping for better in Qualifying.

Yes binned it a few times getting used to the radio messages. I'm only up to Bahrain so no contract offer yet.

The facial graphics are hilariously poor! The other graphics are not as good as Project Cars but ok enough for me to enjoy. The game is superb though.

I have to say I've never had the issue with quiet radio coming from the controller. I've even turned mine down as its too loud (on the ps4 menu). Although I have to play with the sound low as my son will hear it when he's asleep.

I've started my career with Manor too, on PS4 pad and I too am struggling with times and that tyre management test is far too hard! I'm 2-3 seconds off the target time trying to get good management. The handling is a challenge but I welcome one, will take sometime to get used to.

Sounds promising. I'm just waiting for the Mrs to go to bed so I can play it.

Yes, my copy came today from Shopto. Not had chance to play yet, should be on it in the next few hours.

I've preordered this from shopto and it's the first F1 game I've had since F1 2013. Looking forward to Friday.

You can also save your online championship now.

I think there's some decent ones in the Project Cars thread on here.

Not playing on it anymore but I loved it on a controller. You do have to change the settings to suit though.

Yeah they definitely have. Online racing supports 22 car races too!

Update about the game came out today. Features manual starts, manual pit lane entry and braking in the box, formation lap plus others. Also new damage model.

Having looked at a few more videos, I think it may have improved slightly. However those videos aren't very good quality.

No it doesn't, they've stood still on graphics for a while. I hope it has a good career!

Release date: 19th August. There's a few gameplay videos on YouTube now.

I hope they put manual starts and pit lane control in.

More details released about the game yesterday. Will be a 10 year career, you can start at any team plus other things. http://blog.codemasters.com/f1/05/introducing-f1-2016/

To be honest I'd just be glad to have 2015 qualifying in no matter what the fuckwits behind F1 decide, as the others are pure horse s**t!
