The game developers revamped "F1 22's" physics engine, fine-tuning it until the 3D cars were registering lap times identical to their real-life counterparts.

All of this is faithfully reflected in F1 22, and for some die-hard F1 fans, that will be sufficient to pick up a copy. For everyone else, I'm not so sure. Some of that is down to the game itself.

F1 22 launches July 1, 2022, on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. The game will include new customizations to go with the new cars of Formula One’s latest season.
