I notice the F1 esports tab is not present in F1 22. Is the series finished? Is Jarno, Marcel, Brendon etc out of work? Maybe it was a flop. Anyone got any info?.EDIT: I thank the Gods of Death and Life for this respite, even it is to be only temporary.

Talk about a competitive advantage Sadly FG44141, In my opinion, there is no competitive edge because there is no competition. Same old faces all the time. We pay, they play. We buy the game, they get it free.We buy the Fanatec products, they get them free.We watch F1 eSports, they hit us with advertisements.If they have an issue with the game, its immediately addressed whilst others get left in the lurch.Hopefully EA can put their heel on this nonsense, Codemasters certainly did not.It fills me with much joy and hope to see the F1 eSports scam tab removed from the game. May it never darken our tabs again. If that eSports tab was removed to make way for thenew F1 life tab, I truly feel we got a great deal.Reason for edit: To remove repeated word.Why the bitterness towards e-sports drivers?It's always the same drivers because they're the best at the game. Kinda like real F1. Teams want the best exposure possible, and you don't get that by hiring someone who's 0.3 seconds off the pace, an absolute mile in e-sports terms.And there is a lot of competition, literally anyone can qualify if good enough.I agree with the different builds - we are treated like 2nd class citizens whilst paying for the game. We are the reason they have a game to sell in the first place, so, if anything, we should get it first.This year has proven that the beta was a good thing - I'm sure EA strolled in with arrogance and said "Right, here's how it's gonna be, no beta!", and assumed everything will be just fine. Basically, paying customers have become the beta testers. There are bugs every year, but this year is next level.

I wouldnt race him ever in collisions on, collisions would be off and distance would be 100%. We could do the best out of 7 in one day. Deliver this to your "champ". Dear Jarno.I'm racing with a broken controller aka the Gripper.I use ABS.I use AUTO GEARS. I use BRAKE ASSIST, not the low, not the med, the HIGH. What is it you said in Mexico 2020 in your assists test. First corner, "oh this is so SLOW!!!" Taken all of the above into account, At this time I am approx 2 secs of your pace be it TT pace or Race pace.If I had similar equipment, do you think I'd beat you?I can't afford a wheel. I'm poor. You seem to have loads of them lying around the place gathering dust. If not, Marcel has at least a dozen, and as for JD he would have an infinite number of them. I await your correspondence.Yours sincerelyWang Tiger Sounds like you should have spent your money on a new controller rather than a new game...I also think you're kidding yourself if you think you could trivially beat Jarno on the no assist version of the game if you had a wheel. If he were easy to beat then others would be doing just that.Louis Welch is a top controller player if you want a target to compare to if you get a working controller and switch the assists off.

@ALittleTiger7 Lol, dunno. But i didnt have the same experience watching on my iPhone.

@BadMayh3m I seen the PSGL COTA. Jarno was much better, much more steady. Bari B is racking up good points. Would you enter the esports yourself if you got selected?

The only true salty is YT's salty cracker.
What about next year? Do you think it will happen? And if so, how will everyone qualy for it seen as the official F1 game does not have the esports tab any longer?

Are you saying that if we all use similar equipment, none of us can beat Jarno? There is loads out there faster than Jarno.

Bang goes Fanatec sales.
I will stick with me Gripper pad.
You're just trolling now. There definitively isn't anyone faster than these guys, this has been proven 2 years in a row. He probably isn't the fastest on outright pace in F1 eSports, but he's definitely the most consistent and best at race strategy.
Also, can we please quit with the Jarno and esports guys are kings and Gods. Like everything in life, its most likely that they have connections within the business.
Wang wants to know "Why are they so slow with all that good STUFF".
Stuff being in caps lock is a reference to BadMayh3m.
What do all of you think you're in? Let me guess, a nothing or a no.8 or some other silly ridiculous nonsense. But hey, just call me paranoid cos that always works, right?
Be careful, watch out and mind yourselves. You wouldn't know what you're in and what is around you. Tech and Science and Rainbows, be extremely careful. You're not as intelligent or untouchable as you think you are.

My guess remains that eSports qualifying functionality will be added to the game later on but even if it doesn't new talent will still come to the attention of the eSports teams through league racing. For example Jake Benham and Thomas Ronhaar demonstrated their skills in the recent eSports Pro Exhibition but even I've been aware of both of them for about 3 years.
