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.[1][2][3]

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 2021

Development and features
Codemasters revealed F1 2021 on 15 April 2021, featuring a brand new story mode and new circuits Imola and Portimão, and the newcomer Jeddah. 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.

In May 2021, it was announced that seven Formula One world champions and legends would be 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.

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.
