“We look forward to welcoming our players into the new era of Formula One,” said Lee Mater, F1’s senior creative director at Codemasters.

“Along with the changes in the real world, we have updated the physics to comply with the new aviation rules and redesigned the tire model, making driving more realistic. With new and updated schemes, adaptive AI, “F1 Life” and expanded gameplay options, there has never been a better time for players to take their seats and live the life of a Formula 1 driver. “

The changes on the day of the competition allow players to customize their gameplay even more, with new options for “immersion” and “broadcast”. The immersion mode allows players to take on risk-reward challenges, while the broadcast mode includes “controlled and authentic kinematics” to improve performance.

Adaptive AI allows less experienced players to take on the challenge, with AI players tailored to suit their skill level, while accessible menus and controls also return for players who want to get into the action quickly.

The updated training programs offer more variety this time as “My Team” returns – players now have a choice between a starting budget and three entry scenarios.

The 10-year career mode is also back, as is the two-player career option and the epic online multiplayer mode.
