Lets discuss this game.

This time im not gonna split into positives and negatives section .


-No young driver test, instead u get an evaluation test

- Handling: there is a different handling model for pad and wheel, so basically the pad has inbuilt traction control, so even if you set it to off, you still wont wheelspin, now you might be thinking aw thats terrible, but in return the wheel has much better turnin however with no traction its harder, so despite being unequal a little theyre still not too bad.
There are wheel tracks, where wheel is faster, Austria, Silverstone, Australia, Hockenheim. So despite pad having tc all the time its NOT a dominant device,. Around those tracks there is also sometimes input lag, and pad not turning enough to have a decent line. MY verdict, is Its decent, it isnt amazing but its decent.
Braking is easy, no abs if not challanging compared to 13 .

-Tyre wear.- It's better than f12013, the tyres wear much less, on a 25% and pretty much any race distance .

- Mods.- this shouldnt be here maybe but this game has the most mods released on racedepartment. If you don't know what I mean, mods are, car skins, database changes helmet etc. its not hacks

-AI. They're ok. Ok means. They are decent to race with, they're very clean. you most likely won't be crashed off, in fact they ai is, well a little bit weak, they back out if they're on the inside, legend ai is beatable for me most likely, of course if u drive a toro rosso you cant get pole every track

- Penalty system and corner cutting: Penalty system is ok, not much difference to previous codies games, just like 12 13, u get slowed down for going off track and on time trial invalidated too. Im glad strict corner cutting wasnt a thing, (if u wanna know why, check my f12016 review) and you can put it to corner cutting only and online also completely turn it off. yes. just like previous games you can do that.
-flashbacks - nothing much to say just wanna point out that its the first game with unlimited flashbacks

-Multiplayer- Sometimes lobbies can be quite laggy, there was the bug where cars took of into the air at the start of races. Sadly de-syncing exists on this game, its when u race with someone on the other side of the world, u race with his ai car but he is on a different placeon the track, its like positions are messed up. at the end of the race however positions get synced up and the proper result appears, but most of the time if ur having a good connection ur gonna be fine

-Career and scenario mode- You can select any car to drive for career also you can go for short, medium and long season. the experience just like 12 and 13 isnt amazing, no paddock no interviews. i only completed 1 short season so far meanwhile I did 11 seasons on f12010,.
Scenario mode, u get challanges with leaderboards, which you are gonna do probably as u play it first but most likely u will never return.

Some personal stuff now.-

I spent loads of time on this game on other accounts too. My youtube channel has grown a lot due to content on this game. Lot of memories, also racing with big youtubers like Tiametmarduk and Aarava. This is now one of my fastest games Im within top 50 on the leaderboards in lot of tracks, only a few tracks im not good at.

Overall verdict. 7,3/10. due to worse handling than 2013 also pad and wheel arenot equal, not that amazing career as games before, and ai isnt fast enough.

I think the whole codemasters games are below average tbh, yes you can say 2013 is good got back then and yeah its still there best but is still an arcade game with crap graphics, physics. 2015 can produce new hope for the future because there listening to us more but 2015 felt alright on a pad and I was very fast but when I changed to wheel it really doesn't feel nice, games like assetto corsa and especially project cars feel amazing but f1 just feels very lose, and the lack of wheel settings will keep me slow on a wheel.

They only let you pick any team in Career cos they knew the game wouldn't keep you interested long enough to do more than one season!

How can you give this shit a postive review? It is awful in every single way. Physics, Graphics, Realism and also glitches and bugs. Its a copy pasted in terms of graphics and actual car physics, all the difference is a tiny bit more wheel spin for wheel users. Utter Shit game
