You know something’s gone awry when Codemasters release the latest in its annual Formula 1 series in line with the beginning of the real F1 season. Decent review but you failed to mention that this is the first F1 game this gen to now contain Multiplayer Split screen.

This is the most complete series entry to date, with a full Formula 2 season, followed by up to 10 consecutive senior campaigns in an enthralling Formula 1 career.

Of course, it works and is very effective but mind that the car behind will suddenly get an opportunity to place their car next to you and that’s when the zigzag strategy doesn’t work.

All of the official 22 tracks are present in F1 2020, including the revived Dutch grand prix at Circuit Zandvoort, with its long, intense, high-speed right hand turns which make for an exhilarating drive, and the brand new Hanoi Street Circuit in Vietnam, which is like a greatest hits of many race favourites. For players who use controller, it’s even more important managing your strategy since you are generally slower than wheel users. Interviews with reporters are nice, but how about setting the scene with a pre-race walking interview down the grid?

The title received "generally favorable" reviews for PC and PlayStation 4 and "universal acclaim" for Xbox One, according to review aggregator Metacritic, thus making it the highest-rated Codemasters-developed F1 title on the site. You are slightly slower than wheel users and, therefore, defending your position is a more simpler task rather than trying to catch up to the car in front and end up having a wheel-to-wheel battle. This should be a good starting point to be able to enjoy the race as well as feel a challenge in F1 2020. o Esports - in-game area for the online qualification events, latest news and even watch the new F1® Esports Challenger and Pro Series races.
