F1 22 delivers a new feature packed trailer, that is all about the features of the game
EA and Codemasters have released a new trailer for F1 22, which features well features. It shows off the enhancements to the racing experience, the off the track offerings and a whole lot more, check it out.
Yes, if you are thinking in in the trailer that you saw someone sitting in a F1 simulator, playing a digital version of their race car, you are not wrong, we have entered the F1ception state.
While the trailer shows off everything in a bite-sized way, if you want all the details, those are below.
New Cars
The 2022 Formula 1® cars have been specifically redesigned for fast, close, and exciting racing, with radical new designs and 18-inch low profile tyres. To accommodate for these changes, F1® 22 includes brand new physics, handling, and tyre models across each of the 10 F1® teams.
F1® Sprint
Introduced to the sport for the first time last year, F1® Sprint races make their debut in F1® 22. Mixing up the race weekend format by sitting in-between Qualifying and Sunday’s Race, Sprints are roughly 100KM races that determine the race starting grid - with points awarded for First, Second, and Third. Will you risk a move during a Sprint or play it safe to secure your grid slot for the race?
Immersive and Broadcast Options
For those wanting an even more detailed F1® experience, F1® 22 introduces new interactive pit stops and formation laps, offering an element of risk to your races. Manually position your car in your grid spot at the end of formation laps to give yourself the best start ahead of Turn 1. A timely turn into your pit box when making a change will result in a quick stop, but reacting too early or late can result in potential errors by your crew. These risk-reward moments can prove critical to your success and a potential place on the podium.
Broadcast options take the pressure off. Formation laps, pit stops, and safety car periods are automated with exciting camera angles similar to those you’d see when watching an actual television broadcast.
Overhauled Practice Programs and Accessibility Options
Practice Programs that help you learn circuits and nail the racing line have been redesigned, with enhanced on-track visuals.
The new Adaptive AI tailors your offline experience to your skill level, offering competitive racing from the moment you hit the track. Plus, with Accessible Handling, you can remove some of the sport’s complexities, with the option to increase the difficulty at the end of every race weekend.
F1® Life
F1® Life is your new social hub, allowing you to show off your collection of supercars, fashion, accessories, and trophies. In-game character personalisation extends beyond the track by including cool and aspirational items that you will be able to earn through in-game challenges, Podium Pass, the brand shop, and the in-game store. When you load F1® 22, you’ll start off at your personal hub that also acts as the Multiplayer lobby, where you can see your friends’ avatars and collections.
Your collection of supercars aren’t just for show, as you can also take them for a spin on the track. Ahead of Qualifying, tackle special Pirelli Hot Lap events throughout Career and My Team, as well as special challenges and Time Trial.
The tracks themselves have been updated, not all of course, but most with courses like our own Australian Grand Prix circuit at Albert Park, see the changes below.
The game is set to release on July 1st for Xbox, PlayStation and PC, but if you want to get racing earlier, the Championship Edition will provide 3 days early access to it.
