- TotosHeadphones3 years agoSeasoned Ace@SteveJackson Just to bring in another point; women have been excluded from the commentary space for quite a while, especially from Motorsports, so could be argued that they're playing catch up and hence the perceived difference in quality. I don't mind Pinkham, it's always difficult for females to offer great insight, at least on a technical part, in a sport that they aren't likely to have competed in like F1. But when we talk about "presenters", I agree that some presenters, both male and female are awful. I see why Danica Patrick has been recruited; to appeal to the US side and offer that US based opinion but she's lacklustre at offering anything useful.

@ScarDuck14I eat chicken breast and eggs everyday all week. I want my video games to be flavorful and not incremental upgrades with a full price tag 😂
Being real though, feels like it will be a moderate banger.
Great gameplay as the fully realized handling that Greco wanted for F122, all powered by and enabled by those under the hood improvements he worked his backside off last year: more data points for the load sensitivity and tyre model, hitboxes actually aligning with chassis and underfloor, etc. The trailer even references that when they go over the physics and handling.
Incremental improvements on single and multiplayer experiences though. This one is just a bet, and I'll absoluty love to be proven wrong 🫶I'm a chicken and egg lover too. We now both have one more thing in common aside from F1 related stuff.)
- @ScarDuck14 Until 2018, the only mode I played in was offline. Then I was accidentally welcomed by a friend of mine back then to a league racing, and since then I never got back offline. I completely transformed myself into an online racer.
And yes, I think offline should get a little more credit. - pawel5673 years agoNew Ace@ScarDuck14 This is certainly good news

Can I just....I don't think it was much of a deep dive. But I only watched it once. I found Natalie Pinkham distracting....although maybe it's because I'm a football fan and I find female presenters / punditry still quite shockingly bad - and it's quota filling BS. I didn't see Danica Patrick, but then I skipped any kind of Miami coverage, watching only the qualifying live.
Although Pinkham has been at it a while, I still struggle to see what she brings to the table. And to head off the sexism....Lazenby's the biggest waste of space on Sky F1.
Pinkham was way more lively when she was not burdened with kids.

@Blackbird90Yup. Kids suck the life and money out off you… Other than that they awesome 😂.
Going to watch guardians later with Scarlett… She’s bringing her boyfriend… 🙄. If that’s not bad enough I’m obviously going to be paying for him aswell 🤬 - pawel5673 years agoNew Ace@ScarDuck14 Going back to the online/offline thread then the people at EA and Codemasters should focus on the stability of the online servers (and even dedicated servers for a fee!). I think they would then gain a lot in the eyes of players (especially league players). People aren't keen on multiplayer because they don't know the league market and how they get into sessions where there are different people driving on so-called "open looby" who are cashing each other in and that's why maybe people aren't keen on multiplayer but it doesn't change the fact that they should put more emphasis on it than on single player because after a month everyone will have forgotten about it.
- ScarDuck143 years agoLegend@pawel567 After a month majority off people forget about majority off games. Online or offline., and it’s only us dedicated nutters that continue on.

I don't know how that goes abroad but here in Brasil we see a great effort to make female representation on sports larger. The same channel that broadcasts F1 overhere is enforcing this by broadcasting the female national soccer league and even some games of smaller leagues - trying to engage audience.
Specifically on F1 we have Mariana Becker which has been covering F1 in loco for what? Maybe 20 years now. Very reputed in the paddock but clearly an exception.
(Last saturday she asked Alonso if Swift was some kind of money transfer or ~something else~ haha)
About Pinkham, with english not being my mother language, she has one of the cleanest accents of any international coverage, really easy to follow.
