F1 2021 Xbox Playstation PC Gaming

An excellent sim IMO and you know it's good when F1 drivers such as Lando Norris spend most of their spare time playing it!

The release date is 16th July 2021 which coincides with the British Grand Prix weekend at Silverstone.

The only thing I am wary of is this is the first F1 game in almost 20 years under the EA Sports umbrella. Seeing how they're going down an icon driver mode already leads me to think they might be leaning towards doing something similar to what they do with FIFA etc.

Knowing them, we will probably have to purchase F1 Points in order to buy tyres for the car!

Somehow I either missed or just forgot that EA bought Codemasters. Never been the biggest F1 fan but I love this series even though many of the finer details go over my head a little (custom car setups, ERS, the very in-depth controller settings etc.).

I also appreciate that those finer details are what makes these games so great though and you can fully expect all of that to be dumbed down over the coming years now that EA have their grubby paws all over it. They'll try to make it as accessible and beginner-friendly as possible so they can shill their MTXs to the masses.

This one should be great though, it's the future titles I'd be concerned about.

Some nice additions, looking forward to different tracks

Played a few races at Portimao, you really get a sense of the elevation of the track. It's not as difficult of a circuit as I thought

Imola is finally here
