Looking to use voice commands to your advantage in the F1 2021 game?
Sim racing drivers are always looking for any advantage they can get over their opponents. That’s why many of them have turned to voice commands to help them in the F1 2021 game.
With voice commands, they can talk to their engineer during the lap and get information much faster than if they were fiddling with the menu.
This can be a huge advantage, especially in races where every second counts.
So if you’re looking to use voice commands to your advantage in F1 2021, make sure to practice using them so you can be as fast as possible when it counts.
