Our Review

8 /10

The good

Split screen
Innovative My Team mode
Virtual rear-view mirror
Full 22 race calendar including Vietnam and Netherlands
More classic cars

The bad

New features feel unfinished
No Story Mode
Many aspects from previous titles carried through to F1 2020 so it doesn’t feel like a new game
Classic content is a gimmick

Summary

F1 2020 is packed full of content and has everything you want or need from an F1 title. The new features and those first seen from last year though have not been fully thought through. With F1 2021 having a year of stability next year ahead of the overhaul in regulations for 2022, my only advice to Codemasters is to take 2020, refine it, and deliver a masterpiece to see out this era of Formula 1.
