Really sorry for the delay on the update once more.
Let's have a look at your lap at Melbourne in your custom F1 Team Car.
Albert Park’s mix of street-circuit tightness and high-speed flow makes it a perfect challenge for the F1 2025 cars. The cars’ high downforce and responsive hybrids allow for aggressive cornering and rapid acceleration, but the track’s narrow confines and punishing barriers demand respect. Mastering Albert Park in F1 2025 is about balancing aggression with precision—pushing the limits while staying within the track’s unforgiving margins.
Albert Park blends high-speed sections (like the run down to Turn 3) with technical, low-speed corners (such as the Turns 11-12 chicane). The track’s bumpy surface, narrow runoff areas, and proximity to barriers mean mistakes are costly, while its flowing nature rewards drivers who can string together a rhythm.

Extra -

Some crucial areas of the Australian GP circuit include:

  • Segment 1 : A fast, sweeping right-left combination where carrying speed is critical, but oversteer or a misjudged apex can send you into the gravel. You show very good performance here, even though you can increase your minimum speed through the segment;
  • Segment 2 : A heavy braking zone into a tight right-hander—getting the braking point and turn-in right is essential to avoid locking up or running wide. Getting the exit right on turn 3 is fundamental due to the low speed nature of the corner and to get a good entry into turn 4. You can improve here by braking a tad earlier, you're too late on the brakes on your fastest lap. That's sending you wide after the first corner and costing you plenty of time.
  • Segment 6: A fast, cambered left-right chicane where kerb management and throttle control are key to maintaining momentum. This segment does not require using the brakes, so you only need a small lift off the throttle together with precise and smooth steering inputs.
  • Segment 9 : A slow, technical chicane that punishes aggressive entries but rewards smooth exits onto the main straight. This is the slowest part of the track and that only makes the final acceleration more important. You're doing well here, but you can open the entry into the last corner just a bit more for some extra speed down the final straight. That straight is quite long, so your top priority should be getting the best exit possible from the final corner to get a higher top speed at the straight.

Good luck on your next sessions on track and have fun!

Let's have a look at your lap at Imola in your custom F1 Team Car.

Extra -

At Imola, the lap is defined by flow, precision, and commitment rather than outright aggression. It’s a narrow, old-school circuit where confidence under braking and stability over kerbs make the biggest difference. The track rewards drivers who can attack the chicanes decisively while keeping the car composed on entry and disciplined on exit. Overdriving rarely pays off here — small slides or corrections quickly snowball into lost momentum that’s hard to recover on such a tight layout.

Rhythm is everything. The constant change of direction means weight transfer has to be smooth and controlled, especially through the high-speed sections where the car compresses over crests and dips. If you’re too abrupt with steering or throttle, you unsettle the platform and compromise the next sequence. Carrying speed is important, but it has to be built progressively rather than forced.

Traction zones are critical around Imola. Several corners lead onto short acceleration bursts where exit speed defines the next braking phase. Prioritising a clean, stable launch out of slower corners makes more lap time than attacking the entry too aggressively. At the same time, confidence in the fast sweeps is what separates a tidy lap from a quick one — commit early, trust the grip, and minimise hesitation mid-corner.

Though highspeed corners, you are often braking too much and taking off too much speed which costs you time. - example

Let’s run through your laps in the Alpine F1 Team car around Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya

Extra -

The Alpine F1 car feels particularly sharp at Barcelona, where its strong front-end response helps you commit into the fast, sweeping entries of Sector 1. Turn 1 demands a controlled, late brake with a smooth release so the front stays loaded through Turn 2. Turn 3 is all about discipline—hold a stable throttle, keep steering inputs minimal, and let the aero compress the car as it builds speed through the entire radius. In the middle sector, the car’s balance lets you attack Turn 9 with confidence, but only if you avoid scrubbing the fronts on the previous corners.

Across the lap, the Alpine F1 car rewards rhythm more than aggression at Barcelona. The track exposes any oversteer or mid-corner hesitation, especially in the long-radius turns where tyre load builds quickly. The final sector demands patience: rotate the car early, avoid sliding the rears, and prioritise clean exits so traction stays consistent on the run to the line. When you trust the aero platform, stay smooth on weight transfer, and manage tyre load carefully, the Alpine becomes a consistently fast and predictable package on one of the most technical circuits in the calendar.

You're carrying less speed through the turn by missing the optimal apex. Make a habit of exploiting every inch of tarmac on the way in, at the clipping point, and on the way out when traction and stability allow it. Example

Brake harder and faster even on the fast corners, try a quick dab instead of your currently longer ease on and off, test these two styles. Example

Let’s dig into your laps in the Mercedes F1 Team car around Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Extra -

The Mercedes F1 car feels well-balanced but unforgiving at Barcelona, a circuit that exposes any weakness in tyre management or mid-corner discipline. Into Turn 1, the car lets you brake very late, but the real time comes from a smooth release so the front stays loaded through Turn 2. Turn 3 is all about patience—hold a steady throttle, keep steering inputs calm, and let the aero compress the car into the asphalt. Through the middle sector, particularly Turn 9, early commitment and a clean initial rotation help maintain speed without overheating the fronts.

Across the lap, the Mercedes F1 car rewards rhythm, precision, and strict traction management. The final sector demands tidy entries to avoid sliding, especially in Turns 12 and 13 where rear-tyre temperature spikes quickly. Prioritising exits is key, as Barcelona punishes any mid-corner scrubbing with lost momentum. When you stay smooth on inputs, manage weight transfer, and trust the car’s aero platform, the Mercedes becomes consistently fast and predictable around one of F1’s most technically demanding circuits.

Getting on the power too soon is inducing understeer, causing you to back off the throttle mid-corner. Wait a touch longer before committing, then apply the throttle more assertively yet progressively. Example

The line is a touch too conservative through the middle of the corner, costing exit momentum. Get comfortable pushing to the edges of the track on turn-in, clipping the apex closer, and tracking out fully when the car is stable. Example

Let’s take a look at your laps in the Aston Martin F1 car around Barcelona.

Extra -

The Aston Martin F1 car feels well-balanced on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, a track that punishes any weakness in tyre management and mid-corner precision. Into Turn 1, a strong, late brake followed by a controlled release sets up the whole opening sequence, and the car’s front-end response lets you carry good speed through Turn 2 if you avoid overloading the tyres. The long Turn 3 right-hander rewards patience more than aggression—hold a steady throttle, keep the wheel smooth, and let the aero do the work. Through the middle sector, especially the fast right at Turn 9, the Aston Martin stays planted if you commit early and keep inputs clean.

Across a full lap at Barcelona, the Aston Martin F1 car thrives on rhythm and discipline. The final sector requires sharp rotation without overheating the rears, making controlled brake application and early throttle management essential. Because Barcelona exposes any imbalance, smooth steering, careful energy deployment, and tidy exits all add up quickly. When you trust the downforce, manage tyre load, and avoid sliding in the long radiuses, the Aston Martin delivers consistent, competitive pace on one of F1’s most demanding technical circuits.

You often accelerate too late and that cost you a lot of time. You aren't as fast to 100% with your throttle which is affecting your top speed on the subsequent straight. Practice a fast but smooth acceleration all the way to 100% throttle using as much of the track exit as available so that you can have as straight a wheel as possible. This will allow the car to use most of it's power for forward acceleration. Example

Currently, the main challenge is your tendency to back off the throttle instead of committing to full 100% acceleration. A small adjustment to your line, hugging the apex more closely, will greatly improve this. Example

Let’s take a look at your laps in the Aston Martin F1 car around the Red Bull Ring.

Extra -

The Aston Martin F1 car feels sharp and aggressive on this short, elevation-heavy circuit, where braking precision is critical. Into Turn 1, the downhill braking zone rewards a late but controlled stop, allowing the car to rotate cleanly before powering uphill. Through the fast Turn 6 and Turn 7 sequence, trust the aero and keep steering inputs minimal, letting the car carry speed rather than forcing direction changes. The final sector demands patience on throttle, especially out of the last corner, where a clean exit sets up the long run to the line.

Around the Red Bull Ring, the Aston Martin F1 car rewards confidence and discipline. The lap is short, so mistakes are magnified, and overdriving the slow corners quickly overheats the rear tyres. Focus on strong exits, smooth brake release, and letting the car flow through the high-speed sections. When driven cleanly and decisively, the Aston Martin F1 car delivers relentless pace on this deceptively demanding circuit.

Great job on your progress so far! One key area to work on is your habit of braking a bit too soon. It's smart to be careful, but early braking kills your speed and momentum, which hurts your lap times. Focus on pinpointing later braking zones that let you dive into turns with more pace. Experiment by easing off the brakes progressively until you hit that perfect entry speed. Practice consistently, and you'll shave seconds off your laps. You're on the right track—keep pushing! Example

You are often lifting off too much in high speed corners. This is a sign of lack of confidence and commitment. To be fast you have to trust the car and the downforce at speed. Try to maintain less of a liftt in some of these corners - sometimes it is actually better for stability. Example

Alright, let’s break down your laps in the Mercedes F1 car around Losail International Circuit.

Extra - The Mercedes F1 car feels brutally fast at Losail, where confidence in high-speed corners is everything. Through the long, flowing sequences in Sector 1, the car’s aero grip lets you stay committed with minimal lifting, but only if your steering inputs are calm and deliberate. The medium-speed sweepers reward a settled front end, so avoid rushing turn-in and let the car load up naturally. Down the main straight, exit speed out of the final corner is critical, and the Mercedes responds best when you’re patient on throttle and straighten the wheel early rather than forcing traction.

Around Losail, the Mercedes F1 car thrives on rhythm and trust in downforce. The track tempts you to overdrive because everything feels flat, but lap time comes from restraint—tiny lifts instead of big corrections, and clean lines instead of aggression. Managing tyre temperatures is key here, especially through sustained high-speed corners that punish sliding. Keep the car balanced, stay smooth through direction changes, and the Mercedes F1 car will reward you with relentless pace on this deceptively demanding circuit.

Your biggest hurdle at present is lifting off the gas prematurely rather than flooring it to complete throttle. Try refining your trajectory slightly by taking a tighter line into the apex—that'll be a game-changer. Example

One area to target is improving your minimum speed in corners, which relies heavily on braking later and staying committed to the throttle through the turn. This will tighten the gap in your corner exit performance. For instance, experimenting with a slightly later braking zone can unlock more consistent speed retention. Example

Could you please run more laps? We need about 30 to 50 to make sure we're getting it right. The instructors are here to help whenever you're ready. Good luck, and hope you have a good time on the track!

Extra -

From your short session at Silverstone, we noticed you're losing a bit of time on corner complexes (example) by exiting too wide after the first corner.
In situations where you have two (or more) corners in close succession, you always need to prioritize the exit speed from the whole section instead analysing it corner by corner. This often times means that you'll need to sacrifice some exit speed after the first apex so you can position the car better to approach the following one and maximize exit speed there.

Let’s dive into your laps in the Aston Martin F1 car around Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit.

Extra - The Aston Martin F1 car feels right at home under the Yas Marina floodlights, especially through the flowing first sector where its aero balance helps you attack Turn 3 and carry speed toward the heavy braking zone at Turn 5. Getting a clean exit out of the hairpin is crucial, as the Aston’s efficiency and traction control really matter down the long back straight. Into the chicanes and the hotel section, smooth braking and tidy rotation keep the car settled, and the low-speed corners demand patience to avoid losing rear grip on exit.

Around Abu Dhabi, the Aston Martin F1 car rewards a measured, composed driving style. You can lean on its braking stability into Turns 6 and 9, but the final sector is where discipline pays off—slow entries, early but controlled throttle, and letting the car rotate naturally. Keep your lines tight, manage tyre temps, and let the Aston’s refined balance work for you, and it’ll deliver consistent, confident laps all night long.

It looks like your steering angle is quite low compared to the reference driver. You might not quite be on the limit of grip - the optimal slip angle. Try to turn the wheel a little more to find the peak grip - but don't go over it. Example

Your biggest hurdle at present is lifting off the gas prematurely rather than flooring it to complete throttle. Try refining your trajectory slightly by taking a tighter line into the apex—that'll be a game-changer. Example
