F1 Game 2020 Tips and Tricks

Okay, this is late. That being said, I know many of us are slow to change, so if this is you, you've come to the right place. 

General Driving:

Lean Fuel At The Start:

Do you know when you burn the most fuel in an F1 ace? It's actually before the first corner. When you rev your engine before the start, you burn an immense amount of fuel. Just turning your fuel mode down before a race will save you almost half a lap of mix 3. Don't be a gas-guzzler before you're driving. 

Don't Focus On The Road Right In Front Of You:

F1 drivers never look at where they're going. They're always focused one step ahead. Us normal mortals ten to focus right in front of our wing. To improve your driving, focus on where you want the car t go. Much like your career goals, you always gotta be looking one step ahead. 

Lean Fuel In The Pit Lane

Do you know where you burn the second most amount of fuel? That's right, in the pit lane. Once your limiter is on, you're burning excess fuel at a rate of knots. Lower your consumption by turning down your fuel mix right before you enter the pits. It'll smell better for your engineers too. 

Never Accelerate On Kerbs:

If it isn't gray, don't hit that accelerator. The easiest way to turn your fun F1 gaming session into a Nikita Mazepin simulator is to accelerate on the white and red stuff. Hey, they just painted it, leave it alone!

Career Mode:

Front Wing > Rear Wing

Especially if you're driving with a wheel or non-controller, the lack of understeer will help you significantly more than oversteer. For those unacquainted, that just means the front of the car is more stable than the back. If you're not using auto-upgrades, consider the front your best friend.

Consider Upcoming Tracks:

In real life, F1 does a decent job of putting similar tracks together. Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi in 2021 were both renowned for their exceptionally long straights. In the F1 game, the stretch that includes Monaco and Baku is when you should consider focusing your aerodynamic upgrades. Try not to focus on your engine too much early on, or it'll be harder to turn the corners here. 

Look Up Setups:

Not all of us are double F1-esports champion Brandon Leigh. For all other 7 billion of us, setups online are an excellent way to gain more speed without having to be the greatest driver of all time. I personally recommend Real Sport, and they have a dedicated article for every track. 

Miscellaneous:

Be Careful With Your Older Cars:

Classic cars in F1 are every F1 fans dream. But far from that dream is the immense bill of binning them into the wall. To avoid this, remember that manual shift cars need much more time to get onto the throttle. Never expect older cars to handle like the modern miracles of science we know today. 

F2 Cars Are Easier To Overtake With:

When overtaking in F1 2020, you do have to be careful not to find yourself facing the oncoming field at 140 kph. To avid spinning, you should just drive F2 cars. In the F1 2020 game F2 cars are much less prone to spinning if you tap wheels, so go for those dive bombs! As long as it isn't me on the other side of that lobby...
