Features
Features
Players are able to play a revised career mode consisting of ten full seasons rather than five seasons in previous games, the longest since F1 2010 where you could play up to 7 seasons. The game includes the twenty-one circuits from the 2016 season and in-game commentary from David Croft and Anthony Davidson. The game also features all eleven teams and twenty-two drivers competing in the championship, including the return of Renault, and the brand-new Haas team. The game uses the Grid from the Spanish Grand Prix, as Daniil Kvyat is at Toro Rosso and Max Verstappen at Red Bull. Esteban Ocon was however not included, as he did not replace Rio Haryanto until the game's pre-release development had ended, while Kvyat and Verstappen swapped before it ended. Players are able to choose the time of day that a race takes place, customise helmet designs and choose a race number for career mode. The safety car returned, with the mechanics related to it revised, while the Virtual Safety Car was introduced, as well as manual starts, manual pit lane entry and, for the first time in a Codemasters game, the formation lap. The research and development aspect of the game was revised to allow players a greater degree of control over the performance of the car. The teams have a perception of the player, which decreases with bad results and increases with good results. The player will be fired or demoted if the perception goes too low, and will be promoted if the perception goes too high. Online lobbies are expanded to allow for twenty-two car grids.
