Compared to other racing simulators the official F1 games are, to put it kindly, not the highest fidelity. Their design is geared towards mass market accessibility, not accuracy.

For more serious sim racing, iRacing is usually the game of choice. Some of the younger F1 drivers play iRacing in their (now quite copious) spare time and they generally do quite well.

Yeah, I was surprised to see they're going with F1 instead of iRacing. I guess it makes sense for branding/licensing deals, but iRacing is the far better sim.

They should really just do F3 with iRacing, or add a significantly better model for the F1 and give all drivers direct drive setups.
