In short, the title is as up-to-date as it could be (other than Haryanto’s recent demotion, but you can’t blame them for that). The constructors list includes the returning Renault, and purple lined Ultrasoft tyres are available too. Additionally, the grid now consists of 22 cars, including the new Haas F1 team. The extended calendar of 21 circuits includes the return of the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim and the European Grand Prix, this year at the all new street circuit at Baku, Azerbaijan. All of the modes reflect the track and team changes for this year, too. Most importantly, it now also contains the fan favourite career mode. The menus still scroll along the bottom, displaying the familiar modes that include the returning Championship, Quick Race, Time Trial, and Multiplayer. The UI is similar although the background has a lighter look over last year’s dark version and looks a little cleaner for it. At first glance, everything seems vaguely familiar.
