"We will continue to monitor the oil consumption of all competitors and carry out physical inspections and/or measurements on a regular basis," the note added.į1 teams still have the opportunity to introduce a new V6 to their pools of usable elements in either Hungary or Belgium without having to adhere to the new limits. The FIA also made it clear that it will be keeping a close eye on the situation, so could not rule out further limits being imposed. "However, we will expect the oil consumption of any ICE element of the power unit introduced from the 2017 Italian GP onwards to be less than 0.9L/100km, any consumption above this will be considered suspicious and hence investigated as a potential breach of the Technical Regulations." "We have accepted that some competitors may have difficulties in adhering to the 0.6L/100km limit this season and a tolerance is being applied to all power units currently in use," wrote FIA technical delegate Marcin Budkowski. However, mindful that some manufacturers could struggle to get within that limit with current engines, there has been no push to strictly limit oil use up until now.įor having analysed the engine situation over the first half of the year, the FIA has now ruled that any new power unit introduced from the Italian GP will have to adhere to a limit of 0.9 litres of oil use per 100km. In a Technical Directive issued to the teams ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix, it has reminded them that an oil consumption limit of 0.6 litres per 100km was deemed to be acceptable – and would now be "strictly enforced" from 2018. There has been season-long intrigue about oil burning, with teams reminded that using oil as fuel was illegal before the campaign.įurther limits were then imposed from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in relation to the use of combustion chemicals in oil.Īlthough new rules to outlaw oil burn have already been agreed for 2018, the FIA has continued its push to ensure teams are not getting around the limits this season too. Hards are probably the best example because more often than not you could do your best lap time of the race in the last lap with 50-60% worn hard tyres.The FIA has continued to pursue the controversial issue of oil burning by telling teams it will impose a new limit on consumption from the Italian Grand Prix. And that's mainly because the lap time doesn't change enough at the end of the stint.
I personally think this is a good change because as for my online league, fewer stops is most of the time the faster way. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) 121765 (73 laps) Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) 121878 (128) Felipe Massa (Williams) 122076 (103)25 posts EX-LFSer Valtteri Bottas joins Mercedes. You'll be struggling with oversteer more at the end of stints. It will probably be a big topic in the beta later this year. I got great response and was asked to do it again on F1 2017. I made one of these guides on last years game. This guide contains TRL Limitless' setups shown in his F1 2017 setup videos. This has been redefined with making F1 2017.

Really welcoming change because slipstream certainly was (and is) OP in F1 2016.ĥ) Assists vs. Hard to go to detail but one of the things that I was missing in F1 2016 was that you couldn't always feel that you were losing the back-end which made driving more cautious. Did they make a huge impact? Not so much.Īs the grip is higher and the cars are going more of the time full-throttle, this should be a thing and it seems like it is. And before anyone comments, yes, mechanical failures were there in F1 2016. If any of you have other possible options, please mention them. Only thing that comes to my mind is mechanical failures. I was worried at this point but then Ben mentions that "there are methods in which it discourages you of doing that and I can't talk about those yet". It would be a welcoming detail in F1 2017.īen talks that you can switch down the gears a lot faster than in F1 2016 (10:20 in the video).
Tracks were smooth whether it was a new track or a old track which hasn't got a new surface in years. This has been a big issue in earlier F1 games because tracks didn't have a characteristic feel to them. Russia is smooth as it should be as a rather-new track but tracks like Spain and Brazil have more bumps on them. Tiametmarduk) mentions multiple times that the track surfaces are more detailed in F1 2017.
