The best modern F1 racing sim to date.

PC GamerDelivers one of the most convincing sensations of raw ground speed that Ive ever seen in a PC racing game. [Jan 2002, p.72]
-
The best F1 racing game to date. It incorporates incredible graphical elements, intense racing action and awesome sound for high-speed thrills and chills.
-
The changes to the game are marginal at best... However, die-hard Formula One fans need look no further than F1 2001 for the most up-to-date--visually or otherwise-- F1 racing game on the market.

Computer Gaming WorldSuperb physics, killer graphics, and an agreeable price point. [Feb 2002, p.96]
-
The deficiencies with frame rate, multiplayer competition, collisions, and replays still keep this title from achieving its potential.
