F1 2021 is the official video game of the 2021 Formula One and Formula 2 Championships developed by Codemasters and published by EA Sports. It is the fourteenth title in the F1 series by Codemasters and the first in the series published by Electronic Arts under its EA Sports division since F1 Career Challenge in 2003, after Codemasters was acquired by Electronic Arts just a few months before the trailer was released.

The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on 16 July 2021. The deluxe edition was launched three days earlier on 13 July.

Development and features
Codemasters revealed F1 2021 on 15 April 2021, featuring a brand new story mode. New circuits Imola, Portimão, and Jeddah were added in as free updates later. The Marina Bay, Melbourne, Montreal and Suzuka circuits all feature in the game as originally intended, despite the cancellation of these races in real life due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Shanghai circuit also features in the game, as it forms part of the brand new Braking Point mode.

For the first time in career mode it is now possible for two players to participate in career mode together, either as teammates or rivals.
Seven Formula One world champions and legends are selectable drivers in My Team: Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher, Nico Rosberg, Jenson Button, David Coulthard and Felipe Massa.

The visualization offered by the F1 2021 game has increased from the previous year, based on a more accurate sidetrack of the racing arena and the facial expressions of the characters in story mode. Furthermore, the full version of the opening titles for F1 broadcasts have been added after launching the game following the EA Sports and Codemasters logos. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S also makes its debut in the F1 games.

Players can also form their own F1 team through the My Team feature. Through this feature, players will deal with the selection of sponsors and suppliers of car engines as well as the process of recruiting teammates. A new feature to this mode for 2021 was the addition of Department Events, where the player is given a scenario affecting the team and has to pick what, in their opinion, is the best decision.

Story Mode: Braking Point
The game introduces the story mode Braking Point, set across three years (the end of the 2019 Formula 2 season, then the 2020 and 2021 Formula One seasons). According to a statement by Codemasters, Braking Point “immerses players into the glamorous world of Formula One, giving a taste of the lifestyle both on and off the track: the rivalries, emotion and dedication needed to compete at the highest level”.

With the addition of Braking Point, the F1 series became the fourth EA Sports title to have a story mode following Fight Night Champion's Champion Mode, FIFA's The Journey, and Madden NFL's Longshot. There are five selectable teams in the mode: Racing Point (later Aston Martin), Scuderia AlphaTauri, Alfa Romeo Racing, Haas and Williams.

The protagonist of the story is Aiden Jackson, a British rising star ascending through the junior categories with accolades in the hopes of one day reaching Formula 1 and eventually becoming world champion. The story begins at the season finale of the 2019 FIA Formula 2 championship, where an intense title battle between Jackson in the Carlin and ART’s Nyck De Vries has gone down the wire in the final sprint race of the year. Jackson is crowned 2019 Formula 2 champion after making a late game surge passing the DAMS of Nicholas Latifi and Virtuosi of Luca Ghiotto in the dying laps to win the Sprint whilst title rival De Vries struggles with tyre and car balance. After winning the title, Jackson graduates to Formula 1 for the 2020 season with a lot of pressure, weight and expectations placed upon him from having such a stellar junior career. Whilst he does put up a good front for the cameras, off the track he has a hard time making the transition to Formula One, competing against the best drivers in the world. In the intro to the story, the 2020 season portion of the story, and the final part of the final chapter, the player assumes the role of Jackson.

Reception
F1 2021 received "generally favorable" reviews for PC, PlayStation 4, 5, and Xbox Series X, according to review aggregator Metacritic. It was nominated for Best Sports/Racing Game at The Game Awards 2021.
