💔💔💔

A big two days at Event Two last week 🇸🇦🇪🇸🇬🇧 Not the results we were hoping for, but looking forward to taking our learnings and moving towards Event Three. See you then 💪 #McLaren | #F1SimRacing

@redbullsimrace @jarno_opmeer @frederasmussen_ how does it feel to be the No.2 driver in co op?

Ever wanted to know what @jarno_opmeer or @frederasmussen_ are afraid of? Ask our drivers ANYTHING 👀😱

@Nico__Pierce 🤐

@jakeybenham cus the games shit, we all know that. like how do you get lag this bad on lan??

would be lying if i said this wasn't a bit rattling. this incident sums up my event. not sure how half my wing got taken off from that tap but games the game.

@jarno_opmeer why no flick

F1 2020 Classic World Record Monaco

We will be back still a lot to fight for even though the shocker of a season we have had as a whole so far. Full send for the last two events🧡 @MCLF1SimRacing

Bit of a shocker from myself at event 2. pace was good as shown in Q1 through on 1 run 2/3 races just Q2 execution was extremely poor. Races overall were positive pace was strong in both dry and wet just had very unfortunate incidents in saudi and silverstone restricting us.

@ganjaIdup that was the safest thing for me to do icl just stay on the outside out the way i was just trying to get through the corner but it just turned into a roadblock lmao

@jakeybenham big balls, four wide in that corner 😂

got to be one of the most painful first sector i've ever done in f1 esports 🤣🥲what could've beeeeen

@RossC_AFC @formula_tiger @F1BigData that's fair but i mean i would say that the f1 esports grid is as professional as a sim racer as it gets because it's for the biggest prize pool, f1 as a whole is looked at as the 'pinnacle'. i would love to compete in other things but there just isn't enough time to do it.

@jakeybenham @formula_tiger @F1BigData I mean fair enough I guess it’s more beneficial for you to go down the f1 esports / ea route as a profession. However I would take you more serious as a professional sim racer if you competed in an actual sim. Not slander btw just how I see it.

I'm sorry, but the quality of this product is unacceptable It's unbelievable that the official Formula 1 game and competition has so much lag and such poor physics The utmost respect for the pro players who have to compete under these conditions

@RossC_AFC @formula_tiger @F1BigData we can't change that like we are on the limit of the game we get given if that means we get away with a bit of wheel banging then we have to drive to the limit. lag is just toast though like so many incidents are getting made to look so much bigger cause of it

@jakeybenham @formula_tiger @F1BigData Defo very competitive. It’s more a comedy show though when you put all the factors together though.

@EthanDean57 thank you ethan

@RossC_AFC @formula_tiger @F1BigData also just like to add the level of f1 esports is quite ridiculous these days the lap times and field spread is 99% of the time around half a tenth ish. realism or not it's still an entertaining watch without the lag it would be a lot better but we can't control that unfortunately

@jakeybenham @formula_tiger @F1BigData You are a professional sim racer as you get paid to do so (I just can’t take F1 esports seriously) I also don’t know what you guys do in other sims either. If you compete which I will take your word on then sure I’ll take you guys seriously. My opinion is based off F1 Esports

@RossC_AFC @formula_tiger @F1BigData so what do we have to do to become a professional sim racer in your eyes. since we compete at the top level in the biggest competition and also compete at the top level of your 'realistic sim' what else can we do to become professional sim racers (genuine question)

@jakeybenham @formula_tiger @F1BigData I get that the game isn’t your guys fault. But imo it comes hand in hand, if someone was a top class GTA racer and called themselves a professional sim racer I wouldn’t take them seriously either. Some of the racing full stop in Esports is embarrassing and thats on the drivers

@RossC_AFC @formula_tiger @F1BigData nah bro everyone's entitled to their own opinion on every driver so that's fair for you to have yours

@jakeybenham @formula_tiger @F1BigData Don’t worry Jake you are better than me. If you can’t handle my casual ahh opinion then that probably explains why you are a mid tier driver in esports, even if it isn’t serious.

@RossC_AFC @formula_tiger @F1BigData we drive to win not drive to make the game look good🤣i understand that not everyone's been in the position of being at the elite level of driving but this also happens in iracing aswell finding little exploits that also look stupid i can assure you that

@RossC_AFC @formula_tiger @F1BigData mate 🤣you have to drive the game you are given if that's flicking the wheel then that's what we have to do. iracing has had silly things in the past we have abused same with all other drivers. we are taken seriously you're the only fella he ever come across that hasn't 🤣

@RossC_AFC @formula_tiger @F1BigData the bigger point is you saying we can't be taken seriously but then we come over to your more realistic iracing sim and beat you all on there aswell with no practice in a GT3 car which is a completely different discipline 🤣make it make sense

@jakeybenham @formula_tiger @F1BigData Respectfully why would I do my research into a mid tier f1 esports driver? The fact is the game is a simcade and frankly a shit one, it’s an embarrassing spectacle. You drivers can’t be taken seriously driving that game. I can only go off what you race in…
