I used the post #1 setup and was hitting 1:58:3 on Primes with the following conditions:
Assists - Off
Tyre wear/fuel sim - On
Career mode (Expert) - 1st race with Mercedes so no updates, engine mappings etc
Raised F/R Ride Height to 2 (probably makes very little difference)
PS3 with controller.
Finished 2nd, 0.5 seconds behind Hamilton and was by far the quickest in race pace as I closed a 5.5 second gap in 2 laps on yellow tyres.
