F1 2021

F1 2021 is the official game of the 2021 FIA Formula One World Championship. Race with the season’s lineup of 20 drivers and 10 teams, compete in a story experience, build a team in My Team, or take part in career, Grand Prix and multiplayer races.

Story and career

Braking Point is a story experience. In the ten-year Career mode, you can also play with another person in a two-player Career. My Team lets you create a driver, choose a sponsor and engine supplier, hire a teammate and compete as the grid’s 11th team.

Career includes updated Research and Development and Practice Programmes, as well as Quick Practice. Driver Stats now include Focus, and Department Events introduce team-critical decisions. Real-Season Start offers another way to begin a career.

Race formats

Formula 2 is included, with short, medium or full-season options and content from the 2020 and 2021 seasons. You can also race in Time Trial and Grand Prix mode, choose a shorter season, and save automated highlights to revisit your races. On PC, you can save full replays as well.

Casual options provide more relaxed racing, while Expert options offer experienced players more control. Split-screen racing supports two players.

Online competition

Online multiplayer includes Social and Ranked races, Quick Join, Leagues, customisable liveries and Weekly Events. The game also has an in-game Esports area for online qualification events, news and broadcasts of the F1 Esports Challenger and Pro Series races.

PC features

On PC, Raytraced Shadows and Reflections are available during races with ray-tracing graphics hardware. You can adjust graphics settings, use eye tracking, and export highlight reels as video files. The game also supports a broad range of controllers, wheels, pedals and custom hardware, as well as community-created race setups through the Steam Workshop.
