As long as the heavier rain continued, I was safe, but once it slightly dried up later in the race I began to lose positions – and fast. When the strategy played out I found myself in 3rd-place with Ricciardo (Lando 7th after pitting the next lap) in a vastly inferior car. Ricciardo exits his stop in 16th-place onto nearly 2mm of surface water – already too much to still be on slick tires. I enter the pits with my lead car, Ricciardo, with just 0.75mm displayed on the on-screen display, leaving Norris to run another lap like the cars ahead of him.īy the time Norris clears the pit exit on the race track it’s wet enough for intermediates, but not wet enough for wets, though I feel good about my decision to pit because some cars behind me followed me in. A lap later the track is getting damp and a depth over 1mm will require intermediate tires – but the forecast suggests I’ll need wets soon enough. Our weather center lacks the capability to give in-depth information but after the first few laps it began to update and I see it coming The rain begins on lap 8 of 63 with our cars running 11th and 12th. The difference this weekend? Rain in the forecast. We were starting, as usual, just outside the top-10. Each race I’d either made a strategic mistake or we ended up just outside the points on pace. I begun my previous draft talking about how much I was struggling to cope with the McLaren being the eighth fastest car on the grid and that Lando was doing amazing things to get us anywhere near the top 10. I started to draft this article after three races and now that I’m on my second season of managerial duties, more than 24 races into the game, my positive opinion of the game hasn’t changed much since, but my experience has. I have read a late draft of this review and added footage along with some of these screenshots if you would prefer to watch a 18-minute video version:
