I know there must be a good reason for it. For me, it's how the race is too rough and risky in real life. It doesn't stop me from playing it though but it's something that turns me off in it.

It just affects the you in a way that you don't feel safe watching the racing in real life or play the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see what's going on with every other racing sports and not just F1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Formula one is quite protected than Motor GP real racing. At F1, the car is sealed, and the driver is well coated which doesn't make him or her incur serious damage when accident occurs. I never heard of anyone who slumped and died while driving formula one. Edited June 9, 2022 by Justin11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A car caught fire one time when it crashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can still get exploded when they collide together. But due to the safety equipments wore by the drivers it doesn't result to life threatening injuries casually.

You have to watch through these crashes and see that there's no guarantee for drivers protection when these accidents take place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the crash in Abu Dhabi in 2012 and it was one of the most horrific one's I have watched live. I was happy none of the driver got injured.

It's the fortunate one's that comes out only scared to death with no injuries but the unlucky one's die from it or have their career ended.

I've seen it bro, it was a big crash, but I don't think their is death recorded due to the equipment wore by the drivers. I know F1 is very risky but death of the drivers aren't common even if accident occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shagger Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) That's quite enough about real world F1. This thread is supposed to be about the video games. If you want to talk about real life motorsports, do so in the Sports Sub-Forum under General Chat, I did find a motorsport's thread eventually. Every time I have to put thread back on track it's always on account of the same people. Tell me @Boblee, @Justin11 and @Heatman, why is it always you guys along with one or two others?

Shagger Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Weirdly enough, right after typing that I did actually find a story on Planet F1 that is does connect the real sport with games in a rather interesting way. Former F1 World Champion Damon Hill has theorised that current McLaren driver Daniel Riccardo may be struggling the way he is right rough now because of his younger rival's exposure and close involvement with video games and racing E-Sports. There are several drivers, like defending World Champion Max Verstappen and Riccardo's team mate Lando Norris, frequently play the games, spend a lot of time on sim's and compete in racing E-Sports. After Michal Schumacher, drivers really needed to start young in karting to develop into the F1 talent we seen today. Michel's path to Formula 1 was revolutionary at the time and set the trend for how the F1 talent of today get into the sport. While success in Karting and lower league open cockpit racings is still very important now, It does sound plausible to me that this new generation of drivers may be gaining an edge with E-Sports, sim' racing and video games that older drivers have not.

It's even seen in the military sector as well where the marines are now into playing lots of military shooting games to have a feel of simulation combats. They help them prep their mindset of what to expect in battle front. I found this article Here interesting on how US military uses violent video games to train soldiers.
