I race in cockpit view and honestly didn't know before posts like yours that looking left and right was even an option. Need to check if it is on PS5 now but it's perfectly possibly to drive without this. Not saying this shouldn't be fixed though.
My game version is showing 1.0.1012607 since the update, is this correct? Feels like it shouldn't be, seeing as it's supposed to be 1.08. I've tried verifying the files on Steam but it's still showing like this. Seen a couple of other players report this on different platforms.
Edit: Or am I reading it wrong and technically it's showing 1.010? Would be nice for game versions to reflect what the patchnotes say so you don't suddenly think there's a problem.

Nothing is simple with these guys is it.. Everything is so twisted and convoluted and complicated... I mean just look at the forums here...nothing is simple!

You would think it would say Version 1.08 or just 1.8 not 1.2357.7657.3733308 WHY WHY WHY????

If it was perfectly fine to drive without looking left or right, go tell Lewis or Max to rip their mirrors off as they don't need them! Could save on weight too!
Seriously?

@AnthonyLee59 Now you're overreacting. He probably was using virtual mirror or just the look behind button.
I also drive with cockpit view and never used such things as looking left or right.
I change POV to see some part of mirrors (for checking on DRS) and use proximity arrows. And those are quite sufficient,I'd say.
I don't like that travesty called "rear view mirror" (F1 car is not a hatchback! 😉) and I would be too distracted to use "look back", too.

100% serious. I race using cockpit view and have never used look left/right or the rear view mirror. I'm not sure there are enough button mapping options on console for look left/right to be a realistic option when racing but haven't checked back to the game to see but my suspicion is that all console players drive without this. It would of course be nice to have though. As I said I wasn't saying that it shouldn't be fixed for those used to this. However it's not true that cockpit view is immediately unplayable without this.
For info. I do have the 'look to apex' camera setting on max. but otherwise rely on the proximity arrows.
- @Ultrasonic_77 Some of us (me) like to play it as close to real life as possible without aids on, without magical floating in the air arrows that tell us where cars are around us, without using a floating vanity mirror to see behind us, without using T-cam view as sitting up there in real life would require very long arms and legs to reach the wheel and pedals... Some of us like to emulate the reality of F1 or at least get as close as possible to that. I'm pretty sure real life drivers use mirrors to see what's going on around them..
