Vettel and LeClerc
The thing that F1 fans are looking forward to (obviously) apart from the starting of the 2020 season is the F1 2020 game. The game, created by Codemasters, is set to be released on the 10th of July, 5 days after the kick-off of the 2020 season. Today, Formula One’s Twitter account revealed the driver ratings for the game. Let’s just say fans weren’t all too pleased. Apart from Lewis Hamilton’s ‘experience’ statistic being too low, people ripped into the F1 game for giving Valtteri Bottas a better card than Sebastian Vettel.

The F1 2020 game has a new career mode that lets a player choose who they want to race alongside. Thus each driver got their own ‘card’ that classifies their Experience, Race Craft, Awareness and Pace. These four categories are based on real-world data. However, all hell broke loose when people realised that Vettel and Leclerc were rated lower than Bottas. This, despite Bottas scoring less in three of the four categories. Bottas’ card reads Experience-71, Race craft- 89, Awareness-99, Pace-91. Have a look at some of these Twitter reactions for yourself.
We do not live in a world where Bottas is the 2nd best driver on the grid

This is a f*cking joke. Leclerc had the most poles out of any drivers on the grid last year and still they gave him lower pace than Vettel. Also how the hell is Bottas the 2nd best driver on the grid?

Vettel and Leclerc may want to address this issue with their performances on the track, once the season begins in Austria on the 5th of July. However, what could have gone in Bottas’ favor is the fact he finished second in the drivers’ championship last year. But if Codemasters are going to rate Raikkonen more on his overall performances in F1, then rating Bottas higher than Vettel doesn’t make much sense.
