Just got a great 5th place in my first race in the Williams at Melbourne...Lee was right,the Williams is very nice to handle,feels more balanced than the TR. I qualified in 11th,and managed to battle up into the points - was fending off both Red Bulls in the end - champion Vettel could only...

People have been complaining about the excessive tyre wear this year,but im actually enjoying it - thinking about tyre choice and actually saving them - the races are a lot more strategic than previous versions. Some tracks do go a bit far such as Hungary,where i had to make an extra stop...

So i may have taken a backwards step in going from torro rosso to williams hehe? It will be interesting to see how my 2nd season pans out. I really liked the Lotus when i drove it....hoping to get a seat there maybe in season 3!

For what team? I quite enjoyed the early battles in the Caterham on Pro,felt realistic....obviously you want to get in a faster car before long though. Try going for Force India,Torro Rosso or Williams on Pro - youll have more chance of battling for points..

Yeah this is a renault specialist in Doncaster - they did my first belt change.

Is that going to be the same in my case if its not the fuses or the resistor? Did your fans die like mine?

Thats strange cos he said he had the actual wiper plastic unit out! He said there was a loom of wires going up and under but couldnt get to it without undoing these bolts that he pointed to under the resistor...

Ive just been quoted £600 for both belts and the dephaser pulley (which i definatly need replacing aswell) ...does this sound a decent price?

Just been to a local garage as all my fan blowers stopped working a while ago on any speed. He said it isnt any of the fuses or resistor - but could be one of the wires in the loom going to the fan/heater motor...he said he couldnt reach the actual motor without stripping back some of the engine...

ffs,just accidently picked Grosjean as my rival when i was going to pick Di Resta. Now got to stick with him as you cant change it.:mad:

I wouldnt say in pure gameplay terms - but i dont think anything needed changing personally,i was happy with it. Just got my first points at Belguim in the Torro Rosso! Qualified 13th,but managed to get up to 7th and timed my 2 stops well - was fighting off Grosjean & the 2 McLarens for the...

Console patch is out - theres a DRS beep but its really quiet,theres vibration in the pad now but oddly not when you go on rumble strips! They also had Bahrain on the wrong difficulty - Pro was mixed up with Expert - thats why i found it so tough lol!

Yeah,i kind of agree - but ive only changed mid way because im in one of the bottom teams,i just want a slightly more competitive car - Torro Rosso have only 1 point so far anyway! Still will be a big struggle to challenge for points.

Did anyone else have some major tyre wear problems at Hungary? I had my best qualifying of the season,got to Q3 and finished 10th on the grid. In the race,i somehow got up to 2nd,but within 4 laps my option tyres had completely gone,went in and put some more on - again another 5 laps and they'd...

Got a frustrating 11th at Canada - just couldnt catch Gutierrez in 10th,but its a track i always do well at. But ive just blown my best chance of a point at the Nurburgring - was 9th,just ahead of Perez on full wets,the the rain stopped - but made the mistake of coming in too early for...

Had a horrendous race at Monaco lol - finished dead last,got lapped twice,drive through penalty - there were TWO safety cars aswell. Dont fancy doing that in a Caterham again! Canada is next and one of my favourites so hopefully its a much better performance! Kind of hoping a get an offer to...

Im in a mid race save atm at Monaco,and really struggling with pace yet again - finding it hard to fend off the bottom drivers. Ive had to come in to pits a lap before my target a couple of times too - but i think its because im quite an aggressive driver,so maybe need to take it more easy on...

Had the 2nd safety car already in Spain - seems to be more frequent this time! Again like Bahrain,my pace was really poor at Catalunya,qualified in last and didnt do much better in the race - think i came 17th. Monaco next - should be interesting!

Ah,i'l have to enter another - didnt know it had to be this month!

yep,ive just done a 50% at Bahrain on Pro - found it really tough,im quick through S1 but like a snail through S3.....Qualified dead last,but made some positions up in the race,and it was just defensive all the way through to finish 13th - but was only 0.1 sec faster than my TM Pic on laps. Had...

ENTRY. A shot i took at Windermere in thick fog - gives it a bit of an eerie atmosphere.

I thought Pro difficulty was spot on in Melbourne - but then i qualified 10th in China! But when the race came round,i didnt have the pace of the AI really and i finished 14th...i'll keep it on Pro for now,it will still be a challenge to get into the points i think. The China GP was very...

Just finished the first race of my career in a Caterham,i stuck it on a 100% race just to get the trophy really - i did enjoy it but its a bit too long for me hehe - will be 50% from now on. I Qualified 19th,so just ahead of the Marussias...but surprising thing was Button qualified in...

But on the plus side of that - theyve taken out the sector time beep aswell,that used to put me well off - was glancing at the gap time instead of looking at the approaching corner hehe. But youre right about the DRS one - will be constantly looking at the icon now,guessing if i made it within a...

Just got every trophy possible in Career challenge - had to do it 3 seperate times but really enjoyed it - the hard difficulty was really challenging,was just about getting into the top 10 in the Lotus,a car i really like in the game. Does anyone know which difficulty 'hard' reflects in Career...

How do i know whats in there though? you wouldnt use that Carplan stuff then?

My coolant level is pretty much on the minimum when i checked last week on my 182 - so i bought some 'Carplan premium red' anti-freeze after asking the guy in the shop. Is it just a case of topping it up or do you have to drain it first? Ive read that Renault type d coolant is better...would you...

Im working my way through Season Challenge now after getting every medal in Scenario mode. They have made the handling a lot more forgiving,i havnt spun out once yet - whereas on 2012 you could do if you clipped a curb wrong. I think i may do 50% races on Career - will start out on Professional...

Theres an explanation here on tyre wear here from Codemasters themselves on the forum... http://community.codemasters.com/t5/F1-2013-General-Discussion/F1-2013-Update-from-the-Studio/m-p/376012#U376012
