F1 2019: Get better with these tips

The following tips will not only help you get started:

• Busy yourself with the driving aids: While these are handy, they prevent you from setting really fast times. The longer you play, the more you are ready to get rid of the aids in turn.
• Especially important are ERS and DRS.
• Try out different vehicle settings. At first, the setup options may seem a bit daunting, however, the effects are noticeable, for example, in the aerodynamics or the braking power. Finally, it is clear: Each track requires a different profile.
• Adjust the AI difficulty when racing against the computer. Races against opponents at a similar or slightly higher level provide real progress.
• Switch through the various camera settings. The ideal perspective depends not least on the subjective feeling.
• If you play the career mode, you will find a separate guide for it here.
• Test the voice control. If you have a headset with a microphone available, you can communicate by voice with your virtual team, for example, for the weather query or the lap times. Your fingers thus remain fully focused on the racing action and do not have to bother with the menu.

And last but not least: The best way to get to know a track well is time trials. There is neither wear and tear nor annoying opponents there; so you can concentrate entirely on the ideal line.
