To those who may concern. If you’re struggling with traction, tc is just for you. If you’re struggling with general grip, stability control and abs are just for you. Last year, for the first launch of f1 2021, you complained about the brakes and unfortunately they listened to you and turned the game into a crap. Now you complain about the traction. I’m not a pro or e sports player but I’m just fine with all the driving dynamics. I’m gonna prove it with footage. I and bunch of other guys who seek for a decent F1 simuation game are sick and tired of you 80-90 AI myteam gamers. If you can’t drive, choose casual racing style and let it go. Don’t try to ruin our money, time and enthusiasm. Because when the developers listens to majority like you, they ruin the physics of the game and therefore all driving dynamics. Just choose the casual racing style and enjoy yourselves.
PS. This lap is in career mode with Mclaren in Bahrain, just 1 lap after the pit stop. Hard and cold tyres.

Exactly so, bud. It seems most people complaining just don't quite understand what throttle management is. It's not simply full gas all the way, the real drivers say bla bla, they do manage throttle as much as they can to prevent the wheels from spinning out.
It's just a matter of feeling. Don't apply more throttle if you are still in the steering phase. Feel the speed you are at. I can't simply describe how it is to drive and not lose traction. I remember back in the 2010's I was watching onboards and visualising how and when the drivers apply throttle and stuff.
Your video is another great example showing most issues are solvable and manageable.

this is just a game guys. just avoid to utilize first second and third gear and you are ok lol
If you want simulation try assetto corsa, with some older f1 turbo car with H gearbox, You will notice EVEN that cars, with 1000+ horsepower and '80 tech, got more grip in first gears than in this game! This is has nothing to do with throttle managemen, there iis just too low grip in first gears- 3 years ago@Artax04 There’s nothing more frustrating and irritating than saying “guys this is just a game if you want sim try Assetto blah blah…” knock knock! There are plenty of console players who cannot afford a proper system to utilize such sims. Besides, why this formula 1 game shouldn’t be a sim too? Is there an obligation for that? There are already casual and Standart game modes inside apart from expert. Why shouldn’t it be both sim and arcade for a wide community satisfaction?
PS. There is NO such a grip with any open wheel car on ANY sim games. Most probably you’re missing the fact of engine modes, turbo or hybrid system settings.
For example, with Sf70h on Assetto, you can step on throttle without almost any wheel spin on charging and battery recovery mode. If you adjust it to hot lap SOC and mgu-k to motor, then you can lose traction on 4th gear even depending on your setup etc.
The bottom line is, please stop referring Assetto or any other game here.- 3 years ago
what is the common “meta” for formula 1 games for years? I’ll tell you. Short shifting. 2nd, 3rd and even 4th gears are only used for car rotation during deceleration under braking and turn in. The rule is jump to 4th under acceleration on almost any corner. Is this realistic? If main complain is too much torque on low gears, then why use them? Just jump to 4th then? Wait. You want the game to be completely useless under 4th or 5th? Adapting your driving style to a more realistic way is much more difficult than complaining I guess. Because when the traction and torque recalibrated under low gears there won’t be any reason to use them on the exit of corners. And short shifting will remain as even a bigger meta until next year.
