Our Review
Summary
Last year we reviewed F1 2016 with an 8/10 score and were left excited by the prospect of what F1 2017 could deliver. Without a shadow of doubt the annual update from Codemasters has delivered by far the most comprehensive reflection of Formula One to date. In short, this is an excellent game and probably the best official F1 game ever made. At Team VVV however, we always want more and expect Codemasters to deliver again next year. Note: The game was reviewed based on v1.9 (patch released 13 October 2017)
