The 2025 season and the 2026 shake-up
You race the full 2025 championship, then jump forward to lighter, smaller 2026 cars with active aerodynamics and revised physics. The 2026 grid adds Audi in place of Sauber and Cadillac as an eleventh team, with new lineups including Bottas and Pérez at Cadillac, Hadjar at Red Bull and Lindblad at Racing Bulls. You drive them on pad or wheel, and Madrid's MADRING is there too: 5.4 km of hybrid street circuit with 22 corners. Custom 2025 teams and saves do not carry over to 2026.
Handling that rewards clean laps
The driving is responsive and readable, and time trial alone can hold you for hours. Turn off the aids and starts get slippery, corner entry pushes wide and exits spin. Leave traction, braking help and the racing line on and the same car feels fast and forgiving, with clear rumble through a controller.
Career, My Team and Konnersport
Driver Career and My Team carry the long game, with research, race weekends and season planning. For the first time you can keep the fictional Konnersport team going across both modes. You also shape how your outfit looks: paint My Team and F1 World cars, edit liveries, set driver numbers, then move, scale and rotate logos until the car reads as yours. New cinematics and updated podium scenes frame the results, and Braking Point returns for a third chapter about life inside and around a team.
Tracks, reverse layouts and squad racing
Five circuits are rebuilt from laser scans of the real venues, including Suzuka, so kerbs, cambers and braking zones feel true to life. Select tracks can also run in reverse for a familiar place with all the reference points flipped. In F1 World you can race solo or join new online co-op events, where you and friends form a squad and take on AI drivers together. Split-screen, Grand Prix weekends and online play against others cover the rest, from a quick evening race to a full season.
What else should you know?
How does it handle on a controller?
Well, once the assists are set right. With traction control, braking help and the driving line on, it is fast and forgiving, with clear feedback about grip. Turn everything off and it punishes rushed throttle and late braking, which makes it a good way to learn circuits before chasing lap time.
What is new for 2026?
Two teams, fresh lineups, new regulations cars and MADRING in Madrid. Audi replaces Sauber, Cadillac arrives with Bottas and Pérez, and the lighter 2026 cars use active aero for a more responsive feel. MADRING only works with 2026 cars, and some final car models arrive in a later update that needs an internet connection.
What do career modes offer?
Driver Career puts you in the seat of a real driver, My Team puts you in charge of your own outfit, and Konnersport can now continue across both. Expect practice, qualifying, tyre strategy, development choices and story-style presentation between races, plus custom liveries, numbers and logos.
Can you play with friends?
Yes. There is online play against others, split-screen, and new F1 World co-op events where your squad races together against AI. It suits a regular group that wants teamwork and clean overtakes more than constant door-to-door contact.
