You can enjoy a classic championship with cars from years gone by, partake in some wet weather Grand Prix action and a whole load more. While the majority of your racing time will be spent in the career, there are multiple other full championship options also available, like being able to partake in the full F2 season instead of the scenarios which the career brings. Fail, and well, you can just ditch them when a new offer from another team comes along. Compete, and succeed in nailing the objectives, in these and you’ll earn points which can be put into the car development side of things, helping you push your team on to greater levels. Hell, there’s even a reason to partake in the practice sessions prior to qualy and the race proper, with each team pushing out a number of challenges across the sessions. It’s a brilliant system that hammers home the complexities that real-world F1 drivers have to deal with on a daily basis.īut even when the racing finishes, it’s not just about blasting straight onto the next track and by taking to the team garage, reading your emails, answering some simple reporter questions, checking over your preferred team upgrades and more, you’ll constantly be kept busy. This may seem a bit too deep, but it really allows for full immersion into the world of F1, keeping you in touch with your engineers, allowing for full race breakdowns as and when things happen, and making pitstop decisions on the fly in order to cater for the stunning weather system and equally as good tire degradation mechanics that mix things up. See, throughout your time in the cockpit of an F1 car you’ll constantly need to not just worry about hitting the throttle and nailing the apexes, but by opening up and actioning settings on your multi-function display via a combination of bumper buttons and d-pad inputs, you will find yourself needing to keep track of, and amend, every tiniest detail. I say near on, as whilst this is pretty much a petrolhead’s dream, the sheer depth of mechanical options, car setups, and in-game race management may well just put any non-F1 fan off a little. The handling is on point, the speed is immense, the attention to detail is stupidly high, and near on every single element of the racing side of F1 2019 is on point.
Obviously with advancements in technology, budgets, skills, licenses and ideas, that really should be the case, but even here, following up from F1 2017 and F1 2018, 2019 still seems streaks ahead. In fact, after spending time with every single F1 title since 1996 and the iconic Formula 1 on PS1 (and probably even anything that came before it), I think this may well be the best edition yet. And that racing is, quite frankly, brilliant.
