A new era of F1 games starts this year. The first F1 game under EA’s influence, F1 22 promises to be the biggest shake-up for over a decade,” with new rules and regulations affecting the car handling. As a result, the cars in F1 22 will be noticeably more challenging to drive.
Since F1 22 was announced in April, Codemasters has released multiple trailers showcasing the redesigned F1 cars and new features.
