I'm curious. I played the game. And if I were to say anything I disliked, it's that the MC seems like too much of blank slate. We really don't know much about him other than he's a racing prodigy and an orphan. Him playing the piano at the hotel was a pleasant surprise because it was something new we didn't know about him.
I was also shocked to find out half way through the release 0.1 content that he and Emma are not dating. I hadn't realized it at that point.
Given this reaction, I was surprised when the tarot based personalities were introduced at the start of the release 0.2 content. Was this in reaction to his lack of personality in 0.1? I was surprised such a full personality "system" wasn't there from the start.

I agree. When the personality and relationship choices came up, I was immediately regretting not seeing them in 0.1. As it is, the MC's attitude toward Emma in 0.2 is decided by (I think) two choices. It wouldn't make the MC any less of a blank slate, but the player would get more opportunities to roleplay. On the other hand, since 0.1 is Emma-centric, choices relating to her could bias players toward her before they're even introduced to the other love interests.
I also think it would be good to make it abundantly clear that they aren't in a relationship. Something small, like seeing them sleep in different beds, could immediately fix this.

No, adding choices was always the intention: https://f95zone.to/threads/formula-zero-v0-02d-celeritas-vn.238819/post-15781342
During the first episode I think it's quite obvious that they are not in a relationship (just look at how she reacts at him being naked and so on) but if there could be any doubt Emma's conversation with Yuki really shows it.

Sure, but the issue is with managing expectations. At the start we see two people living together. We're playing an AVN, and most people will assume they're in a relationship. When more information gets revealed, we need to readjust that assumption. This can be avoided by being as clear as possible as soon as possible that they aren't romantically involved.

Ugh... why did I play this a few days before the F1 season ended? I could have played it when I need to get my racing fix during the off season. Now there's a double emptiness. *sad face*
Still, I enjoyed this one very much, intrigued to see what will happen in the next update. Keep up the great work dev! Cheers!

Because Max finished sixth last season to win over Lando, while this season, Lando finished third and won over Max - boring same two guys top of the charts battling it out on positional chess, rather than winning the race and the championship.
MC here is a spare in a tam like red bull that has two other teams to rotate their drivers, MC was not hand picked by the boss and had no help from his peers or his mentors - the simulator driver at red bull is some guy nobody heard of, so IRL whatever MC did in the sims is just a statistic, as nobody even bothered to scoop him out until he was just some driver in a team with many other drivers, litearally scraping all he knew and had for support just to be there.
MC prooves that a lot of so called ”came form nothing” drivers IRL are very priviledged and got hand outs from F1 bosses, like the two multiple times champions above - MC here really had to scrape to make the entrance fee, rather than MAx or Lewis getting a direct invite from F1 bosses.
Also, Max got into F1 because some F1 boss wanted him, to the point he was debating with his dad if it was ok to run off into F1 so early in his career. Lewis also got into F1 because some F1 boss convinced him, as he was only putting together his info on the teams when they found him at his house and convinced him to get into F1 with a team that was no winning at the time.
