the game is fairly different from real life, it's not a simulator, and the tracks aren't laser scanned like iRacing, they're handmade so they're also a bit different

It’s more like JD: can I catch Charles. I’m almost out of DRS! It’s so close! Ers mode 1- no. Ers mode 4- FINAL LAP CLOSING SPEED

[@tylerwow]

This reminds me of a "Challenge Williams" event that I won a place in. It was a race with Rusell, Latifi, Aitken and Ticktum, and was streamed on F1's youtube. And while I didn't get to go wheel to wheel with any of those guys, it was kinda surreal that I was racing against two F1 drivers and two F2 drivers, and being commentated over by Jack Nicholls and Tom Deacon. Something I don't think I will ever forget.

[@jobdoneinc.4762]

how did you do in the race?

[@tylerwow]

This is how you become Charles Leclerc’s friend on Steam

[@pascualdidier203]

JD seems like a really genuine dude, always thanks us at the end of the videos Really appreciate that

[@afrigueseportukaans8159]

Likewise. JD is my favourite F1 content person, along with Tom97. They keep the racing (and language) clean as much as possible. Learning a lot from them.

[@dangerousbeans8067]

Got to say that since we had no real races I've been watching all the esports races and I was so impressed with all the f1 guys that competed they gave their free time to entertain us and for that I say a massive thank you and wish all of them the best of luck

[@LautaroQ2812]

Charles' POV looking like the car drove itself as an AI. So smooth, holy crap

[@KzeeTay]

I've never seen anyone 'put' a car where it needs to be without losing power/ time/ pace? Charles Leclerc is a crazy good driver. And for JD to be complimented "yeah the level is quite similar." That made ME blush??? Lmao. Great drivers, great vid!

[@briggsy1142]

TRL is underrated he drives with extreme precision I’ve seen him get a penalty like once if u look out of the drivers left racing he’s the only on without a penalty amazing

It must be very hard to watch a long time friend crash and die just so close and can´t do anything, my sincerly respect and condolences to Lecrerc. At least Groojean didn´t follow...that one was a miracle.

[@sampeter2714]

Charles is really good, watching this 2022 season play out it’s hard not to think that you could have helped Charles improve his driving by giving him practice time on the game. I noticed even in this video, the reason Charles was pulling away was because he cycled through his gears slower than you when braking, mostly engine braking through the middle sector, fantastic driver LeClerc is.

[@TheOneDI]

what an awesome opportunity to drive with my fav current f1 driver, very cool. I just started playing f12019, finished 2 seasons.

epic video mate and an epic race!! GG :) leclerc is one of my fav racers as well and this was just amazing to watch! Cheers from Croatia!

[@spencerrollins7582]

F1 drivers are berated every single day. They’re constantly signing autographs, taking pictures, speaking to the media, and having shallow conversations. When someone treats them like an actual human being instead of a robot, they respond to it positively. Just like if George Russell spoke to me in a normal way, I’d do everything to keep that conversation going for as long as possible. They want the same things that we do. I thought it was really interesting to watch Ben Daly interact with Lando Norris. After he said to Lando “haven’t you always been a number two driver?” Lando and him actually got somewhat close, especially through McLaren Shadow. It’s actually kind of sad because I know behind the scenes they struggle with the lifestyle at times. Everyone needs those solid friends. I hope George, Lando, Alex, and Charles can all remain friends when they’re all fighting for a title.

[@lutescutudor]

JD, I hope that maybe you will see this comment. I am genuinely happy for you man, you're a good guy and you deserve good things like these happening to you. Hope that you guys will remain buddies and that maybe you'll get to meet some of the f1 drivers. Cheers man, and keep on providing the best F1 game content on YT!
