Was I the only one laughing, when the department event was shown? Those were announced as having a big overhaul and then they show this…
Not only am I pretty sure the same department event was already in F1 2021, the design is just different. But this kind of event is the very reason, why department events were just unecessary in the first place. 30k more or +10 (+5 instead of -5) racecraft. Do they really assume anyone cares about this 30k? This is not even a lot in the first month of my team.
I really hope they actually changed them and not just added one or two new ones to call it a feature.
But i agree that this doesnt seem amazing especially with those very low numbers of cash.. Just like last year who cares about 5k to get 1000 acclaim..
But this was a single screen, there could be much more depth to it just a bad example, similar to the custom championship screen being ambiguous

Norris was in the third fastest car and over the season wasn’t close to Bottas. Bottas even out scored Perez in a slower car for the majority of the season. Also has Norris has bottle wins and isn’t good in the rain.
In conclusion Bottas is a more complete and reliable driver so overall better- ajobling19834 years agoRising Ace

@SomaticCoast375Merc was the equally fastest car to Red Bull.. There is a comparison on youtube showing the Qualifying laps of Bahrain and Hamilton lost 3 tenths in Turn 10 -> Merc was at most 0.1s slower in Bahrain when the struggled to find the right setup which then means the cars where equal which also showed in the results, depending on the track they were equal on pace or one or the other had an advantage till Silverstone.
Of course Bottas was faster than Perez struggling to adapt to A) a new car and B) a car difficult to drive (can be seen 2019-2021) and Bottas had the clear faster car since Silverstone, please dont come up with "Merc was only faster after Brazil". Its a fact that Merc upped their engine power from Silverstone on and had the edge on almost all tracks. Exceptions were Zandvoort (Very high downforce), Mexico (High altitude) and Cota (too many bumps to run the low ride height Merc was utilizing to stall their diffuser at high speed). 3 races out of 13 races that Merc were not fastest. And no Jeddah and Abu Dhabi were not Red Bull advantage because Merc was set up for race pace (all year) which was very visable in Abu Dhabi.
Yes Norris has "bottled" a win, Bottas has bottled much more in his career and for example Baku last year Bottas was horrendous and in Cota even with a fresh engine he was unable to overtake much slower cars..
Its fine that you like Bottas but objectively he has not done anything to justify him on the same level as Norris, maybe his bowling skills.
