Which is also why, I think, the F1 games that are out there are severely lacking.
Especially all the circus around the race seems to be an afterthought at best.
What I want to be able to experience in such a game/simulation is not just the race itself, but also the things that go on besides the track.
I want to be able to drive out of the box, through the pit, minding the speedlimit and then enter the track to set a time. Simply seeing my car be driven onto the track or even worse just flat out starting on the track takes away the immersion.
Also, after the race on the podium, I'd love be able to experience this as well but the games nowadays deem it enough to simply show the end result, maybe a shot of the people of the podium and that's it.
I think simulations like this one mentioned in the article is an important part if you want to personally immerse yourself in racing, but a lot of the entertainment for the user also comes from the surrounding circus.
I'd love to see a game incorporate all of this. Especially seeing as non of this is too far out or technically not possible. It is just a matter of having or not having it in the game.
