I think it can be done 1.19 's With This setup
 
The setup: PC, patch 11, Logitech Momo Racing Wheel

Mode: Career, second year, Mercedes AMG, balanced path, two upgrades: reduced drag, engine wear

Testing: 3 laps in Practice, Fuel mode 2, fuel for 10 laps, primes, no KERS, no DRS I picked 5 of the setups posted here. Tested initialy. Then with custom gearing: 124/151/181/209/240/278/323 km/h. Tom Endres and Manalys setups came on top. With these setups and the custom gears laping at around 1:26:XX. The difference was about 0,2s (from here on is the custom gearing)

Additional testing: 3 laps Practice, Fuel mode 3, fuel for 10 laps, options, no KERS, no DRS
Tom Endres setup: 1:25:339
Manalys setup 1:24:431
The surprising part for me was that Manalys setup generated slightly less tire wear.

So on with Manalys setup with the custom gears:
After the "It should be easy ... don't push ..." and 3 tries on primes with lap times in upper 1:24's when the simulated top cars were in the upper 1:22's I gave up and changed to PRO AI. Fuel mode 3 of course.
Q1: 1:25:062, 7th, primes, with only DRS and sloppy, but good enough.
Q2: 1:23:404, 1st, options, with only DRS
Q3: 1:22:475, 1st, options
Since this was by far the best I change back to Legend AI. Q3: 1:22:261, 5th, options This was surprisingly good result so I continuoued on. 50% race, cautious fuel strategy. After 10 laps Rosberg as leader was lapping at middle 1:25's, Button who was infront was lapping at middle 1:26's and I was lapping in the upper 1:27's at 3rd. Hamilton was behind me, but not on my back.
I probably could've finish this disently, but I restarted the race on PRO AI. And I had probably the best race in 2012 so far. I was driving at the pace of the top cars. At the latter stage of the race on primes Hamilton was lapping at the middle 1:25's and I at around 1:26 (exactly as in the testing). I actually was able to pull the fastest lap at 1:24:918.

If this helps someone I'll continue to share my testings.

| Career and Multiplayer setup! |

Hey guys,
I saw some other setups of you guys, very nice! :)
This one is for the Multiplayer and the race in career of Spain. (Dry)
- I play always on Legend. Race: 25%

Every single detail can better. But this is not a TT setup. so everyone knows that your tires wear out, so maybe is this really fine for people who are don't know how to make a good setup for multiplayer and career. :)
So I know every car in career is different but if you have some trouble with this setup you can improve with some of the settings. Much oversteer? Change your rear anti roll bar. Trouble with top speed? Change your front and rear wing and your gearbox of course. etc.. etc.. :)
So good luck! And hope you like the setup. :D

THIS IS ONLY FOR RACES AND FOR MULTIPLAYER.
I Know if your using a TT setup you will just get stuck with the gearbox, which not give you enough top speed without DRS
 
Why no Caterams....I think I have seen two up till now (5 races) WTH?

I imagine it's because the people who know how to do setups are more experienced drivers, and therfore they get the Williams a lot when they ace the YDT.
Do you think it matters that much between these two cars on setups?
 
Sector 2 is such a pain, I lose a bunch of time to the AI in this sector(turns 7-9 especially). I'm sure I could figure it out with some practice and different setups, but I just wanted to get through the race, lol.

For those of you struggling with sector 2, I found that if you just get off the throttle for a fraction of a second you can just floor it round turn 6 (the one before the straight) in sector 2. This has helped me by about half a second compared to the AIs.
 
Time for me to try another set up, going to use the Force India set up on page 3 as my starting point.

Notes
Career mode
Gear ratio for 7th is too short, I'm bouncing off the limiter for too long, so changed that to 206 mph, see what difference that makes.
Back end is a little skittish, second corner I spun and managed to flip my car, I wish I had a recording device hooked up to my Xbox to show you.
Currently sitting on a 1:27.211 in Practice, but can do much better.

Edit 1: Increased gear ratio has fixed my problem on the home straight.
Rear wing angle changed from 3 to 4, rear end seems more stable now.
Rear anti-roll bar changed from 3 to 4.
Changes resulted in a 1:26.649

Edit 2: Best laptime: 1.24.963, can go a bit faster though.
+1 shift to right on 7th Gear
Toe Front changed from +0.11 to 0.10
Changed to Option tyres.

Onto Qualifying, happy with that for now.
