    Unreal how poorly people have rated this game (although interestingly no one has taken the time to actually leave a review explaining the rationale for a poor rating?). If you are an F1 fan, this is without doubt the best F1 game of recent years. Graphically it is excellent , the gameplay is exciting, the sound is spot on, and there is just so much content.

Honestly I'm not sure where they can go with this now in terms of improvements until the next generation of consoles are released. It's an absolute must for an F1 fan the way FIFA is for a footy fan. Does it have the depth of Forza 7/PC2? No - because it focusses on F1 and it does that better than any other game around today. 9 from me! Expand

    This game has the best racing career of all time, i´m having so much fun with it and all other players I know too, other games should copy that RPG elements, the gameplay is solid, the graphics is top for today's technology and the AI improved a lot and is generating good fight but there is only a good guy AI in the first corners, they just do early breaks and let too much spaces but theThis game has the best racing career of all time, i´m having so much fun with it and all other players I know too, other games should copy that RPG elements, the gameplay is solid, the graphics is top for today's technology and the AI improved a lot and is generating good fight but there is only a good guy AI in the first corners, they just do early breaks and let too much spaces but the rest of the race is pretty good. The down is for sure the sound and online quality but if you like F1 you must buy this oppose to editions from 14 to 16. Expand

    I’m extremely impressed in comparison to F1 2016. My experience may also be skewed because i recently picked up a Logitech G920 set, but in any event, I’m really enjoying this latest edition of F1. The campaign runs similar to 2016, which is fine with me, but I’m really enjoying the special events (historical cars). Great graphics, great gameplay.

    Probably the best game I have owned - I love it.

    If you have not played F1 games before, this is one steep learning curve. The cars are very fast and twitchy. They overshoot corners, hit walls and crumble like paper mache on impact - but master the basics and you are in for one hell of a ride. The career mode makes you feel as if you are an aspiring F1 driver, trying to score his

    The career mode makes you feel as if you are an aspiring F1 driver, trying to score his first points (assuming you start in a lower tier team) or turns up the pressure up out the gate to start racking up those wins should you have started with a top tier team.

    The only reason I dropped it one point is the engine wear is not very realistic and becomes costly in the season.

    Rewarding and engrossing, it's a fine F1 game. Fix that framerate and it's perfect. [Nov 2017, p.76]

    Codemasters keeps on improving an already great franchise, adding more variety and tactical depth to all races. A must buy for any F1 lover.

    For me, the true tell of a successful game is one that excites that passion for racing and vehicles. Racing is more than just laps on a circuit, but vehicle management, lap times and the thrill of the chase and victory. F1 2017 easily achieves this, and continues upon the brilliance that was F1 2016 last year. Fans of the motorsport and racing in general would certainly do well to check out this title, with Codemasters once again proving themselves as one of the leaders of the genre.
