That's not all though - here's what else you can look forward to in F1® 2020:
My Team
Be the 11th team on the grid with F1® 2020’s My Team. Create your F1® team with your own colour scheme, logo and sponsors, and choose a teammate using the comprehensive driver rating system. Manage your team’s facilities, resources and time and make sure your staff are properly motivated. Drive the car you’ve developed throughout the season and take your place as the 11th team on the grid. Win the World Championship, using the acclaim you’ve built up to upgrade your facilities, and research the key developments needed to give you the edge.
Deeper F2™ Integration
Choose from a full season, half season, or three-race F2™ experience, before getting started on your 10-season driver career.
We’re also adding the 2020 F2™ season as a free update later in the year.
Shorter Season Options
F1® 2020 is all about giving you more ways to play. One is shorter season options. Choose between the original and full 22 race season (including Hanoi Circuit and Circuit Zandvoort), or shorter 10 or 16 options. Now you can focus on the tracks you really enjoy.
New Circuits
Drive two new circuits: Hanoi Circuit, designed by the legendary circuit architects Tilke, Hanoi Circuit, and inspired by iconic tracks such as Suzuka, Monaco and Nürburgring, and the unique Circuit Zandvoort, nestled amongst the coastal dunes in the province of North Holland, which is known for, amongst many things, that incredible last banked corner.
Two Player Split-Screen
For more social play with your friends/rivals, two-player split-screen makes a welcome return to F1® 2020.
Rear-view mirror
Not only have we given you more options to play F1® 2020, we’ve also been listening to your feedback from previous games. This year, we’re introducing a rear-view mirror to help you race wheel-to-wheel against your opponents.
Customisable OSD
Want to move your circuit map somewhere else? Change where your rear-view mirror sits? Move everything to wherever you’d like on screen!
Simplified ERS
Based on feedback from F1® drivers, we’ve simplified the ERS to make it more realistic. All you need to do to activate it is press a button!
Podium Pass
New to F1® 2020, the Podium Pass allows to you Race, Earn and Unlock. Each season you’ll be able to unlock free customisation items by racing in your favourite game modes and earning XP. Custom cosmetic items include car liveries, race equipment such as gloves, overalls and helmets, and podium emotes. Want even more customisation? You’ll be able to purchase the VIP upgrade to gain access to higher-level rewards and additional in-game challenges.
Pre-ordered F1® 2020? You’ll receive enough credit to unlock Season One VIP, and each season will contain enough currency to purchase the following VIP Podium Pass.
“Today is a celebration of all the hard work from the studio, and it’s exciting to get F1® 2020 in the hands of our players,” said Lee Mather, F1® Franchise Game Director at Codemasters. “Celebrating Michael’s record-setting seven World Championships in a season where Lewis Hamilton is aiming to match his record is fitting. Adding his iconic cars is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time, and they will prove incredibly popular.”
