The video, which you can see below, shows off some of the game’s race styles and their benefits players are able to choose from. Picking the causal race style, for example, enables steering assist to help you hit race lines, and also makes off-track surfaces easier to drive on so you spin out less often. Elsewhere in the video we see how to successfully perform overtakes, and also how to handle wet weather.

Codemasters have also included a Track Acclimatisation feature that allows players to get used to a circuit’s nuances ahead of a Career, My Team or Weekly Event race.

This mode gives players a solo run at a new course, and marks corners with a series of three ‘gates’ that they must hit in order to make sure they’re taking a corner correctly. The more gates players hit, the more points they rack up.

F1 2020 is available now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC and Stadia.
