    If you're an F1 fan then it's probably a no-brainer. It has the latest tracks, includes all the latest rules, and the current line up of teams and drivers. If you're not an F1 fan but still like racing games it's still probably worth your time, thanks to an engaging career mode and enough granularity in the settings to make you work for that win.

It possibleWell, I have done one full race weekend and I think, this is the best F1 game ever. Game allows you to set up whatever you want. It possible to have a funny arcade or realistic simulator as well. AI is improved, no stupid collisions so often anymore. Safety car is back and I have seen it in the first race(!!!). But it is optional, like a formation lap, which I love. Career is back as well. There is much more freedom. It is possible to start in whatever team you like, no more "driving schools". Another new feature in improver Research and Development, which is connected with race preparation in practice sessions. Game is friendly, have F1 atmosphere and it is fun. Only one negative - graphics outside a car does not look so pretty like in other racing console series. But it is a detail for me. I recommend this game.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. F1 2016 is the sixth game made by codemasters and you can do a career mode which lasts the maximum of ten seasons. You can work with your engineer to develop the car to be as fast as it needs to be to compete and challenge for the championship. Your agent will notify you of any inside information like contract offers from other teams and team expectations. She often gives you information about new rivals that you are expected to beat. You can also get promoted to first driver or demoted to second driver and if you don’t perform well you risk getting fired by the team which means you would have to go to another team or if you don’t think that it is right for you, you can retire from the sport. If you impress other teams with your performances you could get bigger teams sending you contract offers to be either first driver or second driver and you can develop your car to make it as fast as the other teams so you get noticed by bigger teams if you are in a mid-field team or a back marker team. It would increase your chances of winning the championship and would make bigger teams notice you and you may get sponsor bonuses from the team’s sponsors if you do really well in the races and at the end of the season you get to choose whether you want to stay at the team you are at or move to another team.
