With several improvements, F1 2017 is more beautiful and more complex than F1 2016. A great game, but not yet a masterpiece.

If you’re a die-hard petrol-head like me, F1 2017 is an absolute must-buy. As fun as I’m sure the upcoming Forza 7 on Xbox One and GT Sport on PS4 will be this year, there are few experiences as exhilarating as driving an F1 monster of a car through the twisting streets of Monaco, and Codemasters’ newest entry delivers the definitive experience.

Easily the best F1 game ever made by Codemasters. Enjoyable and polished gameplay either with a steering wheel or a controller.

F1 2017 doubles down on the success of the previous year's entry, with huge improvements to the Career Mode and fun additions such as classic cars to drive.

F1 2017 flies across the finishing line in great form. Codemasters' latest has captured the off-track trappings of the world's most popular motorsport with a hearty R&D component that forms the backbone of its campaign. But behind the wheel the title fares just as well, with the Career mode implementing Invitational events to break up the routine – many of which are designed around a robust selection of historical rides. Factor in the rule altering Championships and a handling model that's able to accommodate a wide range of skillsets, and you have a racer deserving of its podium place.

Codemasters has finally completed the transformation process of F1 series: F1 2017 is exactly what a fan should expect from a perfect simcade racing game, despite the Ego Engine is almost at the end of its life. Buy it, play it and enjoy it: you will not regret.

As close as you can get to an F1 driver's life without being cussed by Sebastian Vettel.

F1 2017 isn't a game without flaws. An extremely steep learning curve and graphical hiccups during intense racing moments can push players away from what is otherwise an incredible game. Still, with a variety of gameplay options and the deepest career mode a racing sim has ever seen, there's no doubt that F1 2017 is the best in the history of the series.

F1 2017 is even better than its predecessor, something that can be considered quite an achievement. The expanded career mode is the key point of the game, and the return of classic cars adds even more to the whole package. All this and the refined gameplay makes F1 2017 the definitive experience for F1 addicts.

F1 2017 is marred by the immense shadow that is F1 2016’s greatness. It goes at great length to try and build upon what was started last year, but doesn’t polish it, or make it different, enough for it to stand out. If you are looking for a simulation racer for Formula 1, and you don’t already have F1 2016, then F1 2017 should be bought.
