I'll do a quick race on easy and use flashback on the last turn, before winning. It'll give me a trophy

.I'm starting to get impatient waiting now, lol! All that after saying I didn't really think I'd get it about a year ago. I've slowly been pulled towards it.
I just wish we knew a little more about the AI at this stage. Some of the videos show the typical easy to pass, brain dead Artificial Idiot that has been seen in every racing game (with one or two exceptions, e.g. GP4) since the year dot.
@Xero - nice to see another Gers fan about the place

Just read there is no mechanical failures in the autosport review - thats a real shame. Not that I love losing an engine on the final lap, but it just adds to realism.
Although, how many mechanical retirements (other than ferrari engines and Newbie hydraulics) have we seen this year?
2013 - Nando must come through..

Lewis in Hungary & Spain are the 2 I can remember, but other than that it's either been accidents or one of the newbies
Thing is if you were driving for one of the new teams, especially HRT you'd be out all the time with some sort of problem
I still think it's poor to leave out failures though and hope its incorporated into 2011
Races: 163 - Wins: 23 - Pole Positions: 24 - Fastest Laps: 22
Season 9: Constructors' Champions

i was very impressed with the rain effects at the start light sequence, rain droplets on the monacoque and the way the spay built up on the top of the tyres, most realistic i have ever seen

Apparently this is written by a iRacing user
I picked up my F1 2010 review code (PC) on Friday, and sunk about 5
hours into it yesterday. I can't go into too much detail for risk of
breaking the embargo, but I can make a few general points:
1.) Eye watering visuals. Without doubt the sexiest racing game I've
ever seen. I'm running all settings maxed, 1920 x 1080 with 4XAA, on
my i5@3.8GHz, GTX 470 and 8GB DDR3, and it run super smoothly. The
rain effects are sublime, but the real star of the show are the
tracks. There's just so much stuff in the background that I'm often
distracted by the view.
2.) Handling is not as hardcore as iRacing. While the cars have a
propensity to spin if you apply too much gas coming out of a corner,
they don't appear to mind if you drive them across the grass at 150km/
h. I've lost count of the number of times I've cut a corner, with
hardly any slowdown as a result. The force feedback also isn't quite
as lovely as iRacing - it is good, but iRacing's bumps and steering
feel more realistic.
3.) Car damage is quite forgiving. At times it feels almost like
bumper cars - I'll often make contact with other vehicles, rubbing
tires, with no penalty. I've got damage cranked to full, and full race
penalties enabled. I'm more often given a penalty by the stewards than
seeing any physical damage.
4.) The sound engine is superb. The screaming whine of the F1 engines
are captured beautifully, as is the trackside ambiance.
5.) The AI is brutally hard. I've set it to amateur, and have come
last in every race so far. It's quite strange - while the handling
seems easy when set to full real, the AI is still hard when set to its
most basic.
6.) Overall the game is fantastic fun. While hardcore simmers may
dislike the ability to drive over grass and bump and grind with other
cars, most racers will love the way the game makes you feel like an F1
driver, piloting a rocket ship on wheels.
I can't say too much more, but I thought it'd be best to get people's
expectations in line with the final product. The game is 95% there as
a hardcore sim - it just needs the off-road and contact behaviour to
be tweaked to make it perfect for iRacing fans. Hopefully this will be
moddable by the community, or perhaps Codies could be persuaded to
release a "Hardcore mode" as DLC that is much more punishing in this
regard.
Enough talk from me - got to write for the rest of today so I can play
more tonight

Sounds positive

Good that there are some poisitive comments about general handling. Concerning about the damage sensitivity, which is something that's been picked up on since the GamesCon. Surely Coddies could just release a patch cranking it up a bit...? Although I suspect they've chosen that level for a reason.
Codemasters: Best thing was, Lewis and Jake were only scheduled to be with us playing the game for 20 minutes, they ended up staying over 2 hours though
