Here's something that I think might be useful for guys still playing the F1 games. I don't have F1 2014, so can't vouch if the physics engine has altered anything. It's my personal quick cheat, silver bullet tuning guide when setting up cars in the games that I wrote down through trial and error testing as well as online research of other players' experiences with the tuning menu.
The numbers in brackets show the influence that each item has on the trait listed. Example: for turn-in, stiffening the front suspension has a more dramatic influence on the car's turn-in reaction than stiffening the front anti-roll bar.
It's easier to understand than the 'tips' given in the in-game tuning menus, and might help new players dial-in their cars better based on Codemasters' game physics.
