The choice is up to you and it makes for an exciting racing experience, no matter your level of expertise. With full assists and automatic everything, to the elite option where it’s just you and the road, where you have to avoid locking up the wheels by not braking too hard and control corner entry and exiting all while struggling with varying degrees of grip and keeping your engineer happy by managing your fuel loads and tyres. F1 2016 allows total customisation when it comes to the handling of the race cars on the track. If you don’t have a wheel (though I do highly recommend one) you can still have as much fun while keeping up with us wheel junkies.

My Logitech G29 wheel, which I used to test most of this game, did not need any settings changes, though for those picky wheel enthusiasts among us you can modify the wheels parameters to your heart’s content.

Codemasters and their development team have really taken their time with this game (some would argue too long since we are at the half-way point in the real Formula 1 calendar), but unlike a lot of new release games these days, it’s not broken and runs flawlessly.
