The improvements to F1 2018 since the already-impressive F1 2017 are largely incremental and often very subtle – and there are still a few areas where it's openly coasting on previous efforts – but F1 2018 features the finest handling and force feedback for a dedicated F1 game to date, some welcome visual improvements, and a career mode that does a better job than ever at capturing the nuances of the world's most-popular motorsport.

There's no big feature to point towards, but small improvements make F1 2018 stand out as a superlative racer.

Following a series high last year, F1 2018's welcome additions don't add up to a meaningfully fresh experience.

Saying that you can have just as much fun in the shop as behind the wheel seems weird, but in the case of F1 2018's career mode, it's true.

Codemasters still delivers enough immersion and participation in this fantasy to keep it from feeling repetitive, even if on paper, it sounds like it should be.

This is easily the best the series has ever been, in both gameplay and presentation. Fans will love the realism, newcomers will enjoy the benefits of the assists and the ever-present rewind function (it's wonderful for correcting your mistakes and learning from them), but everyone can simply enjoy a good race.

F1 2018 has provided many improvements that have added more fun to its F1 series. Although this version is similar to the previous year's user interface, game celebrations, etc., the addition of new media and RPG mechanisms in Career Mode gave the game more Of dynamism along with improved artificial intelligence and new multiplayer rules.

F1 2018 isn't without flaw or area of opportunity, but the engine that powers its positives revs much louder than the noise made by its few skid marks. This is truly one of the best racing games you'll ever play.

F1 2018 takes the existing blueprint and adds many small elements to create one reasonably sized step forward. There are enough differences here to warrant a purchase over last year's edition. F1 2018 is easily the best Formula 1 game yet, but next time, small changes may not be enough.

F1 2018, just as with last year's game, is a game worthy of your attention and something fans of the franchise will love. It's stunning to look at, excellent fun to drive in, and the single-player mode has more than enough depth to keep keener players entertained.

This year's entry may not have quite the same wow factor as 2017's game, but it doesn't need to. It quietly and in an understated way surpasses its predecessor quite brilliantly.

F1 2018 is an excellent game for fans of the series. A convenient difficulty settings will be especially useful for new players, but they are unlikely to stay for long, given the specific content and its relatively small variety.
