How to be a Formula 1 team sim driver, with Sebastian Job | S7 E12

07/05/23 • 28 min

Oracle Red Bull Racing Esports driver Sebastian Job has tasted virtual success, previously winning the Porsche Esports Supercup world championship on iRacing and he currently competes at the top level of sim racing: ESL R1, F1 and Le Mans Virtual to name but a few are on his CV so far.
But where next? The actual Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team, that's where.
John Munro spoke to Job at the team's Milton Keynes base to hear what it's like working with an F1 outfit and also the differences between sim racing and motorsport simulation.
Are there transferable skills? Did his work affect real-world set-ups? Can we have a go too, please??
This is an extended director's cut of a video interview we first published in February, which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/YhZvIgqbAxw

A Traxion Podcast interview with Senior Creative Director at Electronic Arts, Codemasters, Lee Mather – who’s responsible for the official Formula 1 game’s direction each year.
Mather has worked on the F1 games since 2008, spanning a 15-year stint. We asked him about his time working on the yearly motorsport titles, but also what the thinking was behind the F1 World game mode, if we’ll see more Braking Point in the future and how the new car handling was developed.
We also touch upon the importance of esports and league racing, and the company’s plans to implement anti-cheat measures. Will classic cars ever make a return? Is My Team and Driver Career still important for the franchise? Are we to expect more limited-time liveries?
All of these key questions are answered – but of course, be sure to leave your F1 23 feedback in the comments below!
