...Well, the engines do. Every practice, every race, the engine overheat, no
matter which one, and I have to park it. As we saw in Belgium., that's
expected for Honda and Mercedes, but Ferrari?

Does anybody else have this problem?

Have you tried adjusting your radiator size yet?  I'm willing to bet
you're using someone's hotlap setup; those are frequently meant for
only 2-3 laps at most, and have miniscule radiator sizes to cut drag.
Even moving from settings 1 to 2 can give you more duration...

Also, tweaking the max engine rev limit will reduce overheating.

Thanks,

I guess the F1 2002 manual isn't enough ;-)

 I feel like a BAR engineer.

Geeze.  I just realized that I've been using the largest radiator size
because there's a typo in the manual and I didn't realize it.  I was
wondering why I could hold 18100 RPM and not blow the motor.

Go to page 33 under the radiator size heading and look at the options
under the "action" column.

True that.  Never noticed, myself...
