The verdict
A good-looking F1 sim with a solid career mode, but slippery handling, erratic AI, bugs and EA monetization frustrate many. Skip it at full price or if you own F1 2021 or 23.
Great for
F1 fans who want career/My Team mode, wheel or VR racing, and co-op with friends, bought on sale
Main risk
Slippery, unpredictable handling and aggressive, overpowered AI make racing frustrating, plus bugs and crashes.
