F1 2020

F1 2020 expands the officially licensed Formula One racing series with an entirely new game mode called My Team, in which the player founds and runs their own team as the eleventh entry in the championship, including hiring drivers, negotiating sponsors, building the team headquarters, and developing the car over the course of multiple seasons. At the core of the game remains a finely detailed, physics-based driving model reflecting the real tracks and cars of the current Formula One season, complemented by the supporting F2 category with its own drivers and cars. The classic single-driver career mode also offers an alternative history of the 2020 F1 season, in which players can race with cars created specifically for this version of the championship.

On PS4 the title offers extensive difficulty and driving assist settings, making it accessible to both newcomers and experienced simulation players who demand more precise car behavior when cornering and at the limit of grip. Visually the game faithfully depicts the real circuits, teams, and drivers of the given season, while the sound design captures the authentic roar of engines and the atmosphere of race weekends, including broadcast-style elements evoking real television coverage with interviews and press conferences. The career mode with long-term car and team development is among the most elaborate and closely followed features of the whole series and also includes strategic decisions about tires and pit stops.

Upon release, F1 2020 was well received, especially thanks to the My Team mode, which added new depth, a management dimension, and long-term motivation to keep replaying the game. With this installment, Codemasters confirmed its position as the leading creator of official Formula One simulations on the market and showed that even a licensed sports series can offer significant creative innovation. Today the game remains a popular choice for motorsport fans who appreciate the combination of management elements with a precise, physics-based racing core reflecting the real Formula One season.

Why play it: For motorsport fans who want a management dimension alongside the real Formula One season - the My Team mode added depth and long-term motivation that earlier installments lacked.
