Listen to this article F1 2022 is the 13 th successive official game created by Codemasters’ Birmingham outpost. For the most part, you know what to expect – a driving video game with all the real world F1 stars, tracks and cars that is both authentic and accessible. Except, this time, it’s not called F1 2022, but EA SPORTS F1 22, and there is an electronic dance music soundtrack, Oakley sunglasses and Ferrari road cars. With the development studio purchased by Redwood City-based publishing giant Electronic Arts last year for $1.2 billion , this is the season where the change of ownership has clearly taken hold. The EA influence predominately takes the form of F1 Life. In essence, a swanky living area where you can alter the look of the wallpaper and furniture, before creating your own avatar with branded clothing – more of which can be purchased with in-game currency, either earned or purchased with real-world money. Oh joy. This forms the backdrop to the main … [Read more...] about F1 22 game review: A worthy upgrade, despite glamorisation

Singapore not Red Bull’s last chance to win in ’17 – Ricciardo – F1 Fanatic
Daniel Ricciardo believes the Singapore Grand Prix will be one of Red Bull’s best chances to win a race before the end of 2017, but not their only one. Red Bull’s only victory of the year so far was scored by Ricciardo in Azerbaijan.

The team qualified second and third before taking engine change penalties and Ricciardo climbed twelve places in the race to finish fourth ahead of one of the Ferraris. The team has again selected a large quantity of the ultra-soft … [Read more...] about Singapore not Red Bull’s last chance to win in ’17 – Ricciardo – F1 Fanatic
Norris wants to use home crowd as boost for the team
Lando Norris has said the support of a home crowd will be “such a boost for the team” as he and McLaren prepare for their trip to Silverstone. Norris is one of four British drivers alongside Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Alex Albon to be competing in their home race this weekend and the McLaren racer is hoping the additional support will give him an extra edge. Last year, Norris arrived at Silverstone having finished no lower than eighth and having been on the podium three times but this season it is a different story. In 2022, he has just one podium to his name alongside two P15 finishes and a DNF in Miami. He finished outside of the points last time out in Canada but is hoping to use his home race as a springboard. “I’m so excited to be heading back to my home race at Silverstone,” Norris said. “Seeing the British fans and all the papaya as we drive round the track is always so motivating and such a boost for the team – nothing beats a home crowd.
