The game is heavily 'inspired by' Motorsport Manager, but seems to have less depth. There is not much to do as far as team management is concerned, most actions feel meaningless. Most team management screens are difficult to understand and/or unappealing. The driver AI is poor overall and they make very strange decisions. I had a driver run into the back of the same car 4 times in the same corner during the first 10 laps at Miami - he lost over a second every time, but has not learnt anything, it would seem. The events were not registered as incidents, there was no damage. Drivers overtake faster drivers thanks to DRS, when they should stay behind and go faster as a result. Then they get overtaken and the story repeats itself. The way you micro manage drivers during the race is a huge letdown; the drivers (and engineers) do not have any intelligence, experience or autonomy. If you tell your driver to use the highest engine mode, the mindless drone will follow the order until they run out of fuel. It feels like all drivers could be described with one single parameter - pace. Race strategy does not seem to matter. Tyre compound/condition does not seem to matter. Cars racing side by side through corners don't act like racing cars, they act like toy cars being pushed by children. Most/all? drivers are a 'they', not sure why. Graphics are nice. The drivers look great. The commentary is irritating and feels fake. The game is very shallow overall. Once you have managed 3-5 races there is nothing more that will (positively) surprise or excite you.
