Please get rid of stat boosts for F1 23!
Hey @BarryBL you obviously saw our complains over the stat boosts in the old forums and even though you guys maybe made it a bit less broken by allowing the stats to go over 100 but that remains to b...

I think a wet weather perk would be good. There could also be ‘Home Race’ perks. So if it’s a drivers home race they get a 5-10% pace bonus for that race. The perks could be similar to like Motorsport Manager. If driver perks ever did become a thing then, they would have to match something each driver is well known for in terms qualifying or races. For me personally, having something specific for each driver would greatly influence my choice when signing a new teammate.
@craig8921 In general yes but especially for F2 drivers (or F3 potentially in the future) its tough to find a good perk thats really fitting.
I dont like the homerace thing too much because you never know how much its just the driver or the team giving the driver slightly more engine power etc.. But at least a focus boost is something im 100% behind and maybe even +5 pace.. But getting something for everyone is really not easy, for Latifi i cant come up with anything

Here to back this idea.. although it should be now and not wait for 2023.
Theres several solutions they can do:
1. Remove them altogether.
2. Make them Player My Team only.
3. Massively nerf them. Instead of 5/10/15 it should drop to 1/3/5.
4. Remove stat boosts from Marketing and have Personnel do the same as Marketing but just for the drivers. Obviously remove the permanent boosts here.
5. Rework them into a training facility (this would be something for future games)
6. Could have stats go over 100 but would still have the top team snowball effect (especially if R&D upgrades are still locked behind facility tiers) so not the best solution.
7. Remove them.
8. Remove.
9. Delete them.
10. Make them vanish.
@Meza994 Maybe it could be limited to a select few drivers and the perks are connected to IRL events:
Perez - Holds onto tyres for longer
Verstappen - Wet Weather Driver
Hamilton - ‘Hammer time’ (goes 1 to 2 tenths quicker each lap for 3 laps before a pit stop)
Russell - Quicker at the beginning stages of a season with less developed car.
Could be that it’s not all drivers have specific perks, just certain drivers that have got a reputation for driving styles a traits IRL
- @craig8921 I think "hammer time" got massively pushed by the media haha all drivers push before pitting its just a matter of how much tyre is left. Id say Hamilton gets Wet weather (all wets) and definitely Home race bonus.
For Russel your judgement is premature, 2020 he was on fire till the last season, 2021 he was mentally leaving Williams and all Merc powered cars that werent changing engines like underwear struggled at the end of the season.. But yes i definitely agree with the concept of some drivers having perks they are really well known for.
- @Meza994 how about „crashes often in the last laps of a championschip“ and „cannot drive in the rain“ for Latifi? 🙂
- @v1ness_89 Doesnt get the licensing from Latifi😂
Also we cant claim the cannot drive in the rain, in Spa last year he qualified P12 only 0.3s slower than Leclerc.. Id let him be average in the rain😂- @Meza994 i see. then hoe about the „rich kid“ trait. if you contract him, you earn 20% more a year or something like this.
… this initially meant as a joke, but thinking about it its not just realistic for latifi, stroll, mazipin, zhou and counting, but also not even a bad trait for the beginning in my team.
