Hi guys! First of all this game is incredible, honestly a massive well done to the team! The only reason I'm bothering to give feedback is because I hope this game continues year after year and im obsessed with it. So please don't take this as a complaint but things I believe would be great to see added in the future, whether in the game next year or with any updates.
1)When a driver locks up they come to a complete stop rather than continuing and getting back on track. Even a slow re-entry to get back onto the track as fast as possible would be good.
2)Similar to above, when a car is overtaking and get squeezed they tend to almost stop rather than slow down and back off a bit.
3)Overtaking seems to be an issue at times, my driver can be behind a car, get DRS and rather than speed past my driver will sit behind them when all they have to do is move an inch or 2 either side to get past. The same occurs if you time the weather correctly and get onto intermediate tyres and come up to another car on wrong tyres, there's heaps of room to go around but they just sit behind them.
4) It would be cool to have to time pit releases, this would throw in an element of penalties for incorrect releases and the car wouldn't be stuck waiting for a large gap.
5)Introduce interviews that could affect your team and create rivalries. Maybe throw in an element that drivers also do interviews and you have to deal with it when they say the wrong thing. Have pressure put on you to hire/fire drivers and staff for behaviour off track and poor performance.
6)Creating your own team or the ability to switch teams has been mentioned but that would be cool.
7)Team disputes such as drivers not getting along or drivers complaining when 1 is getting favoured over the other.
8)Rather than using generic female drivers include the W series drivers.
9)Introduce protests into the game to be able to initiate them and defend them.
10)This is right outside the box but to add to the immersion have the option for players to use an app on their phones, which acts like your in game phone, this could be linked to the game so they both interact. Here you could send a message to drivers before or after a race to increase moral, if you let go of a driver you could get a call saying thankyou and goodluck. Or if a player is away from the console they could arrange a new design, receive emails and do some scouting. Again I'm not sure if this is possible but would be quite unique.
The following are more cosmetic and don't take away from the gameplay, i wouldn't be fussed about them if it took anything away from gameplay.
1) When they go into the garage during practice, have the team come out and reverse them in like in real life. It's odd seeing them drive straight into the garage.
2) Add more flair after a win, have more crew members celebrating with your driver when they get out of the car and the other 2 cars stop along side and their teams celebrating with them too. Maybe bring in the Shoey when Ricciardo wins, different podium reactions.
2b) Please have Ricciardo available next year
3) More refined graphics during cut scenes in the garage before each session and during the race/when the driver makes a mistake or overtakes another car.
4) Use the actual trophies from each race rather than the current generic trophies.
5) More radio audio.
6)Crash animations that are more realistic.
7) Allow reserve drivers faces to be shown in game, also other team principals and staff. The mechanics for example are recognisable to F1 fans. This isn't to say bring them all in for 3D scanning but even a resemblance from photos would be cool.
