Let's try something new, here's the script for this video! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Every journey has a beginning and with the arrival of F1 2021 yours is about to get underway. Whether you’re new to the series or a veteran coming back for more, I can help, let’s get started. 🔴 Race Styles F1 2021 features multiple Race Styles, letting you match the in-game handling model to the way you like to drive. You have three options to choose from, Casual, Standard and Expert. If you’re new to racing games, or still getting used to F1 2021, I would recommend trying out the Casual Race Style. This is a great place to start as the game will set everything up so that the cars are easy to drive, while also lending a helping hand should you lose control. For example, the grass will be just as grippy as the road itself, so you won’t spin the car as much. Also, if you go too far off-track the game will quickly get you back on, letting you get back to racing right away. The Standard Race Style is, as the name implies, the typical way to play F1 2021, allowing you to tailor the game to your preferences. Here, you now have greater control over the game’s assists, simulation settings, race rules and more. If you’ve just moved on from Casual I would recommend driving with all of the Assists turned on to begin with. After a while, turn each one off one at a time and see how they change the way the car feels. As you get better at the game you’ll might find that you enjoy driving with some of these assists turned off, but there’s no shame or pressure in keeping any of them turned on, just have fun out there. The third option is the Expert Race Style, opening up all of the game’s options and giving you full control of how you want to play F1 2021. As this is a Beginner’s Guide we won’t go into detail right now, but if you’re already familiar with F1 games I’d recommend exploring the menus and seeing what you can do. With that said it’s time to hit the track, and start learning how to drive. 🔴 Learning Tracks The key to any racing game are the circuits you drive on, and F1 2021 features all the good ones. You’ll experience high-speed battles at Silverstone, technical challenges at Zandvoort, and narrow street circuits like Monaco and Singapore. Learning your way around these may seem like a challenge, but it’s actually quite easy to do. The Racing Line Assist is the most common way people learn the layouts, as it draws a big green line on the road. This line tells you where to brake, turn and place your car before each corner. While you’re figuring out a track’s layout I would recommend turning it on, but try to focus on the environment around you while you drive too. You’ll notice helpful reference points like landmarks, signs, kerbs and more, all of which give clues on how to go even faster. A new addition to F1 2021 is the Colourblind Racing Line, check it out in the menu if you’re having trouble seeing the default version. When you play through the various Career Modes in F1 2021, look out for the Track Acclimatisation programme. You’ll come across this during the Free Practice sessions. It’s not there all the time but when it is, it’s worth doing. Now, when you head out on track you’ll see a bunch of gates on the road, and you earn points depending on how quickly you went through them. This is a great way to learn a track layout, and I’ve used it a lot in previous games, especially when visiting new places for the first time, like Circuit Zandvoort. For more detailed tips and tricks on every circuit in F1 2021, I have made guides for F1 2020 that will work for this game too. You can subscribe to check them out but for now let’s continue. 🔴 Respect the Kerbs One of the challenges when driving a Formula 1 car comes when you push your limits and try to gain as much time as possible. By braking later, turning in more smoothly and using the full width of the road, you’ll improve a lot. That being said, one thing to be extremely careful with are the kerbs that line the edges of the track. In F1 2021 these can be rather punishing, even moreso than in previous games. Some kerbs are fairly flat and you can essentially treat them as an extension of the road surface. Others however, are raised and will upset the balance of the car if you try to drive over them. In my time with F1 2021 so far, I have found that raised kerbs on the inside of corners are the ones you need to be extremely careful with, especially at low speeds. Once you’ve learned the track layouts and begin to push for more performance, you’ll naturally spin out and make mistakes. When this happens, look at the replay and see if it was the kerb that spun the car. If it was, avoid that kerb in future races. Speaking of racing, that’s what we’re here for right? Let’s set up a race and fine-tune the experience further. Before that though hit the Like Button if you’re finding this video useful, and let me know what you’d like to learn next. 🔴 AI Settings The best experiences in any racing game come when you’re battling wheel-to-wheel with your rivals. Balancing the AI difficulty to your skill level helps enormously here, so let’s find out how to do that. Set up a new Grand Prix and choose to race as Valtteri Bottas. We’ll be using Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for this test as it’s contains every type of corner, making it a well-balanced place to refine the AI. Make sure the weather is set to Clear, and that you are doing a Short Qualifying session. Next, choose your AI difficulty. If you’re new to F1 games then go with 50, but if you’ve played older titles like F1 2020, choose whatever AI setting you used in that game. Once you’re in the garage head out on a flying lap right away. Give it your best effort and run 2 hot laps before returning. After this, swap out the tyres for a fresh set and do 2 more. You should have enough time to do a third run after this, but don’t worry if you can’t get another lap in. When Qualifying ends, look at the standings and compare your time to Lewis Hamilton. For every second you’re faster or slower than him, create a new Grand Prix and adjust the difficulty by 10. Your goal with this session is to just barely beat Lewis Hamilton, and we chose the Mercedes as it’s a well-balanced and quick car to drive, with Hamilton as a fast opponent. If you’re planning race in F2, pick any car and aim to just barely get Pole Position instead. F2 cars drive differently to F1, so you might need separate AI settings for them. After a few attempts you’ll have the AI tuned perfectly to your skill level, leading to exciting racing. As you get better at the game, head back to this test if you feel you’re too fast or too slow, as this is a setting that evolves alongside you. 🔴 Endscreen When it comes to settings, the most important ones to get right are your wheel, controller and camera. Check out the guides my channel now to get started. In the meantime, thanks for watching, and I wish you the best of luck, in your next race.
Just wanted to stop by and say thank you! Your track guides in 2020 made me enjoy F1 2020 so much more and fall in love with the game without assists! So thank you and I hope you enjoy F1 2021!
I like the fact that you mention that it doesn't matter if you play with assists or not, and you remind people to just have fun and enjoy the game your own way no matter the circumstances. People nowadays always try to compete with each other and whenever they see someone play the game with the assists turned on always gets made fun of.
Amazing guides you put up. First F1 game and using your settings for both camera and controller =) Haptic feedback on PS5 helps so much as well! Will try the AI benchmark tip from this video once i'm done with the story mode. Cheers PJ!
Although I’m not as new as some are, this video is really informative. Gained a sub from me because of that. Also, could you tell me what your camera settings are? Digging them.
Very helpful video. I’m a new f1 fan and I had f1 2020 struggled to play I’m glad to hear that f1 2021 has race style so new players like me can learn how to play it. It’s a very interesting sport and the game is really good as well I’m hoping I’ll actually be addicted to this game because the last f1 game I got i struggled to play it but now after watching more f1 I’m learning more about how the cars work. Overall nice video I liked it 👍
Same. Struggled in my first race on this game due to many factors like the new handling, not having any of my setups, and being fairly new to driving without the racing line. But this method should help!
Hi. Found your videos very useful for F1 2020, big help. For the ‘AI strength’ test, do you just use the default setup? Or find a personal setup, as that might give you a better laptime, and therefore maybe a more accurate estimate for AI setting?
Yup, default. I try and keep everything as neutral as possible. You may have to change the difficulty up and down as you go through career and drive better/worse cars.
@@PJTierney Fab! As a suggestion for another video/tutorial maybe discuss the new “Expert” game feature and how it affects Careers in the short and longer term? Unless this info is available elsewhere, but my limited googling skills make me not find them…. 😋
Hey I’m struggling with the ai difficulty test, I just about beat him on 94 but in races feel as if I can’t catch the guy infront or make a gap to the guy behind. Should I still lower the difficulty even tho I just about beat him on that
I don't think you're wrong in that the cars handle differently, but I have found so far that they do tend to be more planted. That being said, I have also found you can run way more Differential than last year, which helps a lot with the rotation. Also, Brake Bias is more sensitive too, so if you really wanted to rotate the car set it lower.
Hello. I have a question for you. I am a user who has just started playing f1 2020. In the meantime, I used abs and tc and didn't use brakes and steering assist, but when I entered f1 2021 my team season 4, all upgrades and teammates were also Lewis Hamilton, so I'm trying to turn off assists, but it's very difficult. It is very difficult to refer to the video on UA-cam. I'm practicing in Bahrain now and I'm using g29 wheels and pedals, and the pedals were only on my right foot. First of all, we will practice with abs off and then practice tc. Any advice please...and I'm Korean. This article was also written through Google Translate.
Question/request: This will be my first ever F1 game and I do not follow the sport either. Like I don’t know what ers or drs is even. So is there tutorials for me where the basics are covered and how I can learn this game more efficiently. Or if this is something you would like to upload do let me know. What resources do you recommend to help me learn this game better. Thanks PJ
There's a few of those in the game (pause menu > tutorials), but if you want a more focused lesson look up Chain Bear's channel. He explains many things about the sport in great ways.
I'm completely new to F1 and play it on a PS4 Pro. Your videos are very good however for a beginer I'f finding that your videos show different things thana my settings and other screeens. Maybe it's becasue you have a Xbox and I have PS4? Can you reccomend a good cunnity forum for F1 2021 where I can ask questions and get replies ASAP. I noticed that your last activity on here was 8 months so you may not even see this
Hi there 😀 I am still here, but not actively making videos at the moment as I have a lot of stuff going on elsewhere. It could be that I'm on Xbox, yes. If you are looking for a good community and place to ask more questions, check out r/f1game on Reddit.
Could you please give a tutorial on how to do a race start? I play with PS4 controller with all assists turned on to the highest. I lost 4-5 places immediately after the start due to poor acceleration/traction. Many thanks.
@@PJTierney thanks bud, pity not real life rule about the tracks 22 on f1 calender and only 16 in the game they dropped a clanger there. Last years game had more ! 😎👍
Great tips, all of them - although I would advise against using the racing line at all, as it's just too difficult to distract yourself from focussing on it entirely. The result is the feel of a "new" course when you turn it off that I find jarring... just easier to leave it off from the beginning and get used to the track. Game is a masterpiece this year.
Just about to buy this game (bought a Series X somehow!) - One interesting thing is the racing line seems to be better for telling you the latest possible time to brake (versus the line itself).. If you switch it off do you get that indicator anywhere else or do you have to learn that too? For a newbie to F1 games like me I'd imagine I'd simply end up being too aggressive into every corner without it, ha!
@@JoshuaSugarman good question - try paying attention to the distance signs heading into each turn... you can use them as a guide, i usually start every new course braking at the 150m sign and let it coast into the turn until I figure out the course. Then, you just keep choosing a new landmark to push the braking time as late as possible.
@@JoshuaSugarman Just have fun - this is the first year I've dug this deep into the franchise and it only took me about a week or two to really get going... getting the difficulty just right for you, personally, is crucial as well - you'll have some absolutely phenomenal battles when it's close to your level. They really nailed this year's iteration!
Can you do a Monaco tutorial? I use the racing line because I’m still a beginner. Whenever I finish a hot lap I do a 1:13 and that’s not very good. I can’t get a 1:11 or 1:10
@@PJTierney I checked it out and got a 1:12.8 so PROGRESS. I find practice makes perfect. I was doing my team and now all I do is at least 50 time trial laps a day. The 1:12 isn’t consistent tho😂😭😭
@@colester27816 Personally it's more fun for me now, but with enough practice you can be good with both. I'm still very fast in DiRT Rally 2.0 with a pad, even though I play on wheel.
maybe u can help me… i played with gamepad f12020 and on 94AI. now with the new game. i cant play it anymore. the steering for gamepads is so horrible.I fell in love with the last game played 6 seasons myteam on 100% raceweekends…. now i dont see me finishing one season. i appreciate so much that i could drive monaco last year without crashing all the time but now… oversteering and sliding is so horrible… its not fun anymore and i am always insecure if i will loose the car. i tried som settings like the linerarty or the 270 degrees but doesnt help.. went back in f12020 and the fun was back
Hmm. It's a tricky one. Fundamentally not much has changed between the games. It really depends on what you're struggling with, be it oversteer or understeer. The My team car may also be worse at the start which isn't as fun.
Hello, I have a question about multiplayer leagues. Are there any forums/groups where someone can find leagues to enter? None of my friends plays F1 and I would like a more consistent format than random single races. Thank you! ~And thank you PJ for the great knowledge that you offer in every video!
Hi I use a converter to convert a g29 to a g920 on xbox. Now, I can play the game but for some reason it turns for me but without wheel moving. Really upset because I also don't have force feedback. I know that the converter works because I use it for Forza all the time. Please I really need help with this.
Have a tweak of the controller settings, I have a guide on it. There shouldn't be input lag though, unless it's further downstream (like your TV being slow).
can someone tell me how to set up my own race to make practice ? ı need to practice under wet / slippery conditions in baku circuit with my used slicks to get over the god damn championship baku GP that i am stuck in since 3 months cause it gets slippery on 28, 29 laps....
Why do the first cars pass me at the start and not my colleague's? We both drive with the same settings and driving aids (assisted start) we have already driven for the same team, but he always drives away at the start and 2-3 cars behind me that pass without any problems that was not so in F1 2020 I am almost always drove them in at the start. Anyone have an idea?
I just started with all assists off and have decided to drive full time in 6th gear. Otherwise my car seems to have an extremely strong conviction of killing me
@@PJTierney Yeah it does but it's fun learning. It's actually a great game, i'm pleasantly surprised. I have been racing against only 71 AI as that seems to be where i can perform as well as the car should...but i am already way above that level for Bahrain, i do ok at Imola but not much speed, at Portugal i am consistent but again not quick. Bahrain is the only track so far where i can significantly increase difficulty and still have chance to win

Every journey has a beginning and with the arrival of F1 2021 yours is about to get underway.
Whether you’re new to the series or a veteran coming back for more, I can help, let’s get started.
🔴 Race Styles

That being said, one thing to be extremely careful with are the kerbs that line the edges of the track.

First ever F1 race on 2020 I was on 50...now on 2021 with 10+ seasons on 2020, I'm now 85-87.0
Hey I’m struggling with the ai difficulty test, I just about beat him on 94 but in races feel as if I can’t catch the guy infront or make a gap to the guy behind. Should I still lower the difficulty even tho I just about beat him on that
Some tracks the AI will be faster on than others. Try a few tracks and if you're constantly slower then drop it down.
Later in the game you can change casual to standard???????
You can swap between them all at any time outside of a race.
2:56 I feel like these track guides don't translate 100% in the 2021 game since the cars have A LOT more understeer. Or am I wrong?
I don't think you're wrong in that the cars handle differently, but I have found so far that they do tend to be more planted.

Your so underrated🔥
What’s the difference between drs and ers?
DRS is the rear wing, which opens up to let you go faster on the straights.
ERS is your battery.
I would love a video on how to do setups I am never sure what to do to make my own and I know the old setups do not work in this game
Once I learn enough to share I will try and make a video 🙂
I'm completely new to F1 and play it on a PS4 Pro. Your videos are very good however for a beginer I'f finding that your videos show different things thana my settings and other screeens. Maybe it's becasue you have a Xbox and I have PS4? Can you reccomend a good cunnity forum for F1 2021 where I can ask questions and get replies ASAP. I noticed that your last activity on here was 8 months so you may not even see this
Hi there 😀
I am still here, but not actively making videos at the moment as I have a lot of stuff going on elsewhere.
It could be that I'm on Xbox, yes. If you are looking for a good community and place to ask more questions, check out r/f1game on Reddit.
Could you please give a tutorial on how to do a race start? I play with PS4 controller with all assists turned on to the highest.
I lost 4-5 places immediately after the start due to poor acceleration/traction.
Many thanks.
Try my 2020 version for now, until I make one for 2021.
If you have race start assists on then just R2 as hard as you can at the start.
Great guide. One problem is I can't seem to change my fuel mix. It's jusr greyed out ????? 😎
You can't change it in races (except for during Safety Car), only in practice.
@@PJTierney dam you could in 2020 thanks though 😎
@@gerryd7027 Yup, the real-life rule about fuel mixes changed so the game reflects that.
@@PJTierney thanks bud, pity not real life rule about the tracks 22 on f1 calender and only 16 in the game they dropped a clanger there. Last years game had more ! 😎👍
Great tips, all of them - although I would advise against using the racing line at all, as it's just too difficult to distract yourself from focussing on it entirely. The result is the feel of a "new" course when you turn it off that I find jarring... just easier to leave it off from the beginning and get used to the track.
Game is a masterpiece this year.
It’s hard to learn but worth it in the long run.
Just about to buy this game (bought a Series X somehow!) - One interesting thing is the racing line seems to be better for telling you the latest possible time to brake (versus the line itself).. If you switch it off do you get that indicator anywhere else or do you have to learn that too? For a newbie to F1 games like me I'd imagine I'd simply end up being too aggressive into every corner without it, ha!
@@JoshuaSugarman good question - try paying attention to the distance signs heading into each turn... you can use them as a guide, i usually start every new course braking at the 150m sign and let it coast into the turn until I figure out the course. Then, you just keep choosing a new landmark to push the braking time as late as possible.
@@VanceProduces thanks! When my series x arrives on Friday I’ll turn the racing line off straight away and see how it goes on casual mode😂
@@JoshuaSugarman Just have fun - this is the first year I've dug this deep into the franchise and it only took me about a week or two to really get going... getting the difficulty just right for you, personally, is crucial as well - you'll have some absolutely phenomenal battles when it's close to your level. They really nailed this year's iteration!
Can you do a Monaco tutorial? I use the racing line because I’m still a beginner. Whenever I finish a hot lap I do a 1:13 and that’s not very good. I can’t get a 1:11 or 1:10
I have a guide from 2020 that should help.
@@PJTierney I checked it out and got a 1:12.8 so PROGRESS. I find practice makes perfect. I was doing my team and now all I do is at least 50 time trial laps a day. The 1:12 isn’t consistent tho😂😭😭
@@PJTierney also is playing with a wheel better then controller?
@@colester27816 Personally it's more fun for me now, but with enough practice you can be good with both.
I'm still very fast in DiRT Rally 2.0 with a pad, even though I play on wheel.
I'm having issues with the AI test, every time I'm ahead in Silverstone, Hamilton sends me to the wall in Copse turn. What do?
Race on Saturday instead of Sunday 😉
Or dont play as Verstappen
maybe u can help me… i played with gamepad f12020 and on 94AI. now with the new game. i cant play it anymore. the steering for gamepads is so horrible.I fell in love with the last game played 6 seasons myteam on 100% raceweekends…. now i dont see me finishing one season. i appreciate so much that i could drive monaco last year without crashing all the time but now… oversteering and sliding is so horrible… its not fun anymore and i am always insecure if i will loose the car. i tried som settings like the linerarty or the 270 degrees but doesnt help.. went back in f12020 and the fun was back
Hmm.
It's a tricky one. Fundamentally not much has changed between the games.
It really depends on what you're struggling with, be it oversteer or understeer. The My team car may also be worse at the start which isn't as fun.
Hello, I have a question about multiplayer leagues.
Are there any forums/groups where someone can find leagues to enter?
None of my friends plays F1 and I would like a more consistent format than random single races. Thank you!
~And thank you PJ for the great knowledge that you offer in every video!
I think the best thing to do is look up the creators who stream esports races. Many of them compete in fan-made leagues as well as F1 Esports itself.
@@PJTierney Perfect! Thank you for the reply! 🙏
I dont have andy ffb on my wheel. All the settings are turned to max, and the wheel it self is working. ANy ideas?
If it's a technical issue I'd recommend posting on the Codemasters Forum and seeing if the support people can help 🙂
This usually happens when you leave the game for too long or switch to another game or app, it's just a restart for now, hope that helps you
Top channel
Thanks 🙂
PJ I have a quick question, My Logitech G920, has no tension while playing F1 2021, what setting i should check, wheels feel like nothing
Sounds like it's either overall FFB, or Wheel Damper.
Just a question how do you change the amount of laps you do per race, because right now I am only 5 per race?
Check the Session settings for Race Length. You can swap between Very Short (3 laps), Short (5), 25%, 50% and 100%.
Hi I use a converter to convert a g29 to a g920 on xbox. Now, I can play the game but for some reason it turns for me but without wheel moving. Really upset because I also don't have force feedback. I know that the converter works because I use it for Forza all the time. Please I really need help with this.
Having issues with steering, seems like i have a delay when i fully lock?
Have a tweak of the controller settings, I have a guide on it. There shouldn't be input lag though, unless it's further downstream (like your TV being slow).
Great video, would you not say that less assist are faster?
In general, fewer assists means more control, and if you're good enough makes you faster.
Is it playable with keyboard or joystick?
Difficult but doable.
can someone tell me how to set up my own race to make practice ? ı need to practice under wet / slippery conditions in baku circuit with my used slicks to get over the god damn championship baku GP that i am stuck in since 3 months cause it gets slippery on 28, 29 laps....
In your scenario it may be easier to just do the race and keep restarting.
Why do the first cars pass me at the start and not my colleague's? We both drive with the same settings and driving aids (assisted start) we have already driven for the same team, but he always drives away at the start and 2-3 cars behind me that pass without any problems that was not so in F1 2020 I am almost always drove them in at the start. Anyone have an idea?
I have a video on manual starts. I now you use Automatic but it would be worth checking out.
AI do seem to start fast in this game though.
I just started with all assists off and have decided to drive full time in 6th gear. Otherwise my car seems to have an extremely strong conviction of killing me
It takes a while to get used to 😀
@@PJTierney Yeah it does but it's fun learning. It's actually a great game, i'm pleasantly surprised. I have been racing against only 71 AI as that seems to be where i can perform as well as the car should...but i am already way above that level for Bahrain, i do ok at Imola but not much speed, at Portugal i am consistent but again not quick. Bahrain is the only track so far where i can significantly increase difficulty and still have chance to win
Casual is for little kids and "dads" that have no exeprience with video games. Standard will be more difficult to get used to, but it will be worth.
Wow!
How come my Fanatec F1 steers like a boat? Maybe I just need to get used to such a short turning radius.
Look up my wheel settings guide that I posted today. I'd say set it to AUTO and see what happens, as 360 was rather sensitive.
This I my first time playing any f1 game and I thought I would start off on standard mode because it’s “just a racing game” and I f**king suck 😭
Casual is a good starter 🙂
Please someone tell, is F1 2021 better on ps5 controller or Xbox Series Controller?
Both are good. I don't know if PS5 Haptic Triggers are supported on PC (I don't have the controller), but if they are then that's a good choice.
Is it just me or the steering is very sensitive and rotates to much
Have a look at it in the calibration menu. Also, check the Codemasters forums incase there are any issues with specific wheels.
I don’t even know how to start the car

Monaco and Singapore are the death of me. Those tracks are aids
