The emphasis being on simulation over gameplay throws up other problems. When choose to quit the game? Why can’t change my keyboard set-up mid race? Why is there no instant restart for a quick race? Why can't choose what data is displayed on the steering wheel readout? Why does your pit crew tell you the road is clear for you to pull out of the garage despite the fact that there are four other cars all accelerating in your direction? Why? Why? Why? Why can only save changes to the game’s set-up options Why are all the driver and team names in lower case?

For example, spin out of control and end up lying across the path of another driver and will they reverse back then steer around your prone car? No, apparently Mika Hakkinen (sadly the teams and drivers are all last seasons) would prefer to continually nudge your car’s chassis for half an hour, until the marshals run on to drag you away - marshals who, incidentally, have both balls and bodies of steel as they’ll happily run onto the track as other cars scream past at a zillion miles per hour (or 1.6 zillion km per hour if you’re feeling metric) before attaching you to the invisible cranes by the side of each track.

That said, there are a few flies in the ointment of realism. The sense of racing is also much better than anything we’ve had before, with Al that on the whole does a grand job of giving you the impression of being in a real battle for the chequered flag.
