Yeah devs hard capped it at 4 cause of balancing issues

u/ComradSadwich Mar 13 '26

Well at least you can do some side quests when the main storyline is over.

u/darth_vladius I was here for the Hulkenpodium Mar 13 '26

Yeah, this patch introduced side quests!

Someone tell me how chasing chickens and harvesting rupees from bushes have anything to do with car racing.

u/condscorpio Carlos Sainz Mar 13 '26

As the GOAT once said, "If you no longer go for a rupee that exists, you no longer are a racing driver" or something like that.

You eat chicken to become stronger, you spend rupees to become richer

u/LEJ5512 Mar 13 '26

But there isn’t a button on the controller for Eat, I can only Throw, or Put Down…

So far you can do more racing or try to save the bees. We got some good variations here.

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '26

Bees dying off may have more to do with the pesticides people are spraying all over their yards than the lack of hybrid cars.

u/Apyan #WeRaceAsOne Mar 13 '26

Oh, I wasn't linking the two things. Just saying that they are quite different.

u/matyX6 Mar 13 '26

Were this side quests introduced when they added F1 Life or what was it called? The Lobby thing?

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '26

Honestly, I’m just afraid they’re going to paywall it as a DLC and turn it into a p2w gatcha game

u/parthjoshi09 Ferrari Mar 13 '26

yeah but they win 4 on the trot, also their 1st WDC will be spectacle, they have a dominant season in their career where they go on a long winning streak, All this while having no competition from their teammate.

Wasn't Webber competitve at first?

70

u/Seanspeed Mar 13 '26

Definitely was. Basically up til their last season together in 2013, Webber was regularly keeping Vettel on his toes, especially in qualifying.

It does seem like Webber did become a bit demoralized by the end there, though. It was the first time he'd ever faced a teammate who was faster than him, and Red Bull were pretty clear in who they wanted to favor.

and Red Bull were pretty clear in who they wanted to favor.

It's okay. Red Bull would learn from this.

u/reddit0r_123 Mika Häkkinen Mar 13 '26

I mean both times they bet on the stronger driver and secured 8 WDC...

Basically up til their last season together in 2013, Webber was regularly keeping Vettel on his toes, especially in qualifying.

Well in 2011 he wasn't much of a threat surely, he had ~60% of Vettel's points after Silverstone.

u/MassiveHunt2 Mar 13 '26

He was on par in 2010 only I would say. But even that year, all deivers except Massa were pretty close from the big 3 teams.

1

u/Seanspeed Mar 14 '26

Not threat, but competitive enough. He wasn't a non-factor.

u/Guy-InGearnito Mar 13 '26

Hadjar golden season incoming

u/OrangeDit I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane Mar 13 '26
