Can you be fast playing F1 2021 with a keyboard?
You can get pretty fast after enough practice but there’s no chance you’ll be able to set world record time trials or win online races.
Racing wheels are way better than keyboards and controllers since they offer much more precision, force feedback and will allow you to be on the limit of the car.
Also the pedals will be extremely important to your overall performance.
How to practice playing with a keyboard in F1 2021?
A good place to start practicing with a keyboard is the Time Trial mode where you can set ghost cars of real life drivers or your own best laps.
This will give you a good idea of the lines, braking points and throttle control you need to employ.
