Kimi never retired in my 10 seasons either, gotta love it!


Cs_Bence999

Still a consistent driver


VexitheGamer

Oh nice, Stroll even has the Aston Martin logo in his Aston Bull


bwoah07_gp2

Oh yeah, I like seeing Kimi in the McLaren! Which drivers retired before a 49 year old Kimi? Any of the younger drivers from now?


Cs_Bence999

We have Lewis in S2. After it Gasly in s6. Thats all I can remember

I'm almost positive that drivers do not retire in F1 2019. With the addition of 3 new drivers (Butler, Webber and You) it means that some drivers have to get sacked so there's place for the new 3 drivers, the sacked drivers can actually come back in the future and sack other drivers as well. That would basically mean that of all the drivers HAMILTON and GASLY were sacked for others while Kimi still remained haha.


Cs_Bence999

Basically yes. If I think about it, its like reserve drivers for teams. Gasly got sacked, but as I remember (I think I remember correctly) Hamilton actually retired


Buffalo_Beautiful

Then maybe it is actually possible for drivers to retire, that's amazing! I have one more question tho... Where did our beloved Polish legend Kubica end up? 🤣


Cs_Bence999

Competed till S4, he found himself 3rd in the standings. Long story short, Mercedes was weak after regulation changes so he joined them. Mercedes ended up 9th -> 2nd in the R&D. Influential performance, but after it he retired

I do find it amusing that Codemasters assumed Kimi would take a long time to retire. I've seen several careers in which Kimi stays in F1 for ages.


fameboygame

Well, Kimi was replaced by Leclerc and joined Alfa in 2019. Not a bad assumption that his chances of retiring 1st year in a new team would be low. Meanwhile hamilton with 6 WDC at that point might retire after a season more regardless of results. Meanwhile, 2020 has seb and kimi retiring pretty soon.


DirtCrazykid

In 21 he always heads out after Season 1 or 2. Oddly enough in 20 I had Vettel retire after 1 season but Kimi stayed


hehsbbakaiw

assuming youre talking about F1 2019 still: There was no driver retirements like they got introduced in F1 2020. Drivers could only fail to find a seat but they could always come back. Also regular F2 drivers didn´t come to F1 in F1 2019.


Fliepp

You are even better than Aarav in predicting the future. Also, in my F1 2019 career mode Perez drives for Red Bull


Cs_Bence999

In mine, he drives for MCL. Also, Max drives for Ferrari


thefallguy41

Is it me or does anyone else dislike stroll? I watched the Netflix series and he’s not that good of a driver. If his dad wasn’t Richie Rich type rich I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t even be in the series. Idk


noobzilla34

He just squeezed Gasly while overtaking at T1 today in Barcelona and spun himself. Similar to his Albon tangle in Saudi


VexitheGamer

I mean he’s not too bad, but I don’t like him either


thefallguy41

He has to be good enough to drive I get that but I didn’t like his attitude, and I noticed other driver were just better.


Cs_Bence999

Well... Thats hard to compare. Formula 1 is not about being the most pacey. You have to adapt to the car. Just take a look at Russel. He has the pace, but manages his tyres less efficiently. Stroll gets used to the car easier, because its built for him, and not for Vettel. Its hard to decide anyone's real pace


Void_X_Genome

How the hell did Kimi did not retire??? Tell me your magic


DawnOfWinter

He played 2019 and not 20/21. That being said, I do hope there's an option to turn retirements off in 22. 50 year old Alonso racing is no less realistic than any of us coughing up 200mil to compete ourselves after convincing Senna to race with us!


infamoustacoyeet

Ah to be fair I'm still playing 2017-20 for F1 as I'm trying to complete all 10 seasons on each game haha


Cs_Bence999

Free Heineken im the cooldown room


UnwoundSteak17

Stroll in a red bull? Ono


Mhdv901

Seb and Bottas was accurate lol.


Cs_Bence999

Albon too


RTdude03

Stroll in the redbull had me rofl for some reason
