The F1 series is actually quite a good sim racer so it isn't as easy to go and pick up a controller and play, which can be frustrating.
There are a couple of people you can watch on YouTube who have good track guides - Veloce Hyperz, TRL Limitless are two I use quite a lot. Make sure you have the right set-up for your car - I normally just search on YouTube or on f1carsetups.com and pick one.
If I'm going to do a GP weekend in career mode I'll spend a good few laps on Time Trial and put together as many laps as I can until I feel like I've learnt the track. The best advice I can give is to know the track as well as you can. E.g. for Austria T1: break at the 50m board and downshift from 8th to 4th, take an early apex, accelerate early and take as much of the exit as you can - get the left side of the car as close to the yellow sausage kerb. If you can get to that point then you'll never come off the track. These F1 sim racers do it as a full time hobby/job and spend hours a day on it
Also settings - I'd always have manual gears (the automatic gears for some of the corners can be wrong and it shifts at the wrong time as well) and medium traction control on.
