New features and fixes in F1 22

You know that drivers have multiple strategies ready before the race right? Thats why they are doing long runs and pracitice pit stops in Free Practice
and they can't change the damage model to much because of licensing. And most of this list is just stuff that would take away from time from improving the racing and physics

So, I know there are lot of topics about new stuff In game but I have a few of my own, let me know what you think.

New features:

1. We do everything manually in pitstops.

2. No strategy before race like in real life. When you are driving and tyres are ready to change or your rival team changes first then engineer is calling you into pits or just asking what do you think about changing now.

3. Being able to choose how many races in 1 season in career and my team we want and the order of races. For example you can choose Abu Dhabi first and Australia last if you want.

4. Being able to customize your helmet deeply. Not just choose already being made and change color.

5. Like in fifa to make your own face of driver.

6. Not really necessary but it would look great when in pit in practice or in qualifying you can come out of car and do other stuff like analyze the data.

7. When someone crashes there is damage like in real life. Not like in F1 2021 when you crash with 300kmh in wall and just front wing and tyre comes off. 

8. Being able to ask teammate to let you pass if you need points or sometimes he asks you. Or he is fighting for title and engineer asks you to hold his rival back. Or he do that for you.

9. Red Flags and improved Safety Car. It's really stupid when 5 drivers crashes and just Safety Car comes out and they clean it in like 2 laps. We need Red Flag. Also what I mean by Safety car is that when 1 one driver stops in race to retire or someone crash EVERYTIME Safety car comes out. It's really stupid to continue racing while in real life that would be really dangerous.

10. Yellow flags. When someone spins or crashes yellow flag or double yellow comes out and you need to slow down. ( now you don't need to even in race ). 

11. Add animations if changing parts of engine in pits and also fixing car.

Well I can't think of anything more right now so let me know what you think.

1. This would be nice, but Codies has said they do not allow this as players would drive around pitlane and hit pit crews. Change in F1 22 is to the right direction, when we get a bit more control. Let's see how it works in the game.

2. This is not correct, teams have strategies before the race, actually several of those. I like the current functionality, which could be still detailed.

3.I do not care for this. At the moment you can choose how many races you want (not full flexibility, but still).

4. Would be nice, but I would like to see more depth in car livery customization first.

5. I'm lucky to have suitable face in default options. Have tried this in other sport games and it is nice. Not the highest priority in my mind though.

6. I would like to see more data to help in setup work, fully agree. Do not need to jump out of the car though.

7. Would be nice, but I doubt will be implemented.

8. This would be cool, players how ever would most probably not follow these requests to let your team mate pass 🙌. This should have connection with team mate morale or happiness.

9. I'm not so interested about the red flags, but understand, why others would like to have these.

10. Might be difficult to implement. Sometime real drivers do this so well (like Verstappen in Imola) so would be difficult for players to know, how much you need to slow down. I can see complaints coming from the community 🙌

11. Cool addition, not the highest priority for me.

Probably can't do much about the faces, they're already laser scanned and motion-captured. But the Ego engine was made for cars and tracks, while the Frostbite engine was made for people and scenery, so Frostbite just does a better job.

@gallusnumptyThe faces are so poor, some of them are unrecognisable and look like cartoons.

You mean you recognise who they don't look like? 😕 😇

Take Braking Point's cutscenes (please). Do you want Toto and Horner in the uncanny valley? No, I didn't think so.

Aye, i suppose so 🤣

Will Lewis Hamiltons helmet colour be changed to the 2022 season yellow helmet.

And Pitstop the steering of the car is too sharp and delayed.

Any news on other track updates Spain turn 10 confirmed, but what about other parts of the circuit that require new kerbs and the green and white layer kerbs,
