Your time spent in Championship mode will consist of many twists and turns, and you as a racer will have to adapt to the varying conditions, using different tactics depending on the situation. You will need to be prepared for the circumstances you will find yourself in throughout the season, This guide aims to give you a good idea of what will come up during your season, and what things you can expect to happen.
The Race Calendar
The F1 2015 Championship consists of 19 races, so you will have to learn the race route of each of the 19 tracks as you move along through the season. You can use quick race to learn the tracks and work out the best car setup for you, before you go into the actual race in championship mode. Here is the race calendar of the F1 2015 Championship, so you know what to expect:
Drivers and Teams
There are 22 drivers in the F1 2015 World Championship, and 11 different teams (with 2 drivers per team). You are going to be playing as one of these drivers, and will be in one of the teams. However, each different driver has his own racing style, and each team has its own qualities. Therefore, some teams are better than others, and you should get to know which drivers and teams are going to be your direct competition, and which drivers and teams are going to do certain things in a race.
Mercedes is undoubtedly the most effective team in F1 2015. In most races you will likely see Hamilton and Rosberg on the podium at the end, due to them having the superior cars on the track. There are three other teams that will be competitive in the positions below Mercedes. Ferrari, Williams and Red Bull are likely the teams that will occupy space from P8 upwards, with Vettel probably being the most competitive driver from these teams. The other teams in the Championship (when controlled by the AI) will likely be unable to compete with the top four teams very effectively, so consider that if you are in one of the lesser competitive teams, your partner will likely be unsuccessful at gaining good places consistently. It may be up to you to carry your team throughout the Championship.
The Point System
The Championship works by drivers being awarded points as they get certain places in races. These points are totalled as the season continues, to see which drivers, and which teams, are doing the best. Gaining a 1st place in F1 is very important, as it awards 25 points, 7 more than the driver in 2nd place. Another important place in the final grid is P10, especially for lower teams. Any positioning below P10 will garner the team no points at all, so gaining P10 or higher can be very important for lower teams, who will end with far fewer points than teams like Mercedes.
Here is the amount of points gained for each finishing position:
1st – 25 points
2nd – 18 points
3rd – 15 points
4th – 12 points
5th – 10 points
6th – 8 points
7th – 6 points
8th – 4 points
9th – 2 points
10th – 1 point
With a more general understanding of how your Championship will take place, you can hopefully now plan out your targets and strategies more effectively – don’t always aim for 1st place unless you think you are capable of it!
