Notably, the new trailer shows the first actual footage of F1 22 captured from the game engine after the CG announcement trailer. We get a first look at the Miami International Autodrome circuit as well as the new car liveries created for this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix.

With 19 corners and three DRS zones, there should be plenty of overtaking opportunities at the new Miami street circuit. Reflecting this year’s rule changes, F1 22 will feature a new physics, tyre, and handling model.

At the end of the trailer, we also get a sneak peek at supercars in F1 22, with a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of a McLaren 720S speeding around a corner. Supercars can be driven in F1 22's new Pirelli Hot Laps mode and displayed in the new F1 Life mode.
