F1 2017 improves on past entries by being the most transparent entry in the series, giving you more than enough information to directly compare performance to your rivals. Whereas for a top tier team like Red Bull or Ferrari, you might be more methodical about how you spend your resource points, focusing instead on areas you might be slightly weaker than your competitors. Go with a team like McLaren and you’ll need to focus heavily on improving the woeful Honda power unit. Where you decide to focus your points largely depends on who you drive for. The new upgrade system is another step up from last year, allowing you to focus your team's R&D efforts on new parts in four key areas-chassis, aerodynamics, powertrain and durability. For a series that had nailed the atmosphere of a Grand Prix some years ago, these additions add another layer that’s easy to appreciate. Aesthetically it’s been buffed out and expanded, adding new animations and team interactions, and showing off more of the infamous F1 paddock all while adding a grander sense to the occasion. The bread and butter of the Codemasters F1 games has long been the career mode, which lets you create your own driver and guide them through their racing career, and F1 2017’s is no different. Along with a greatly expanded career mode, a host of memorable classic cars and a litany of race options, championships and game modes to choose from, F1 2017 goes above and beyond expectations. The wider, faster and more aggressively styled cars are designed to be driven harder a fundamental shift that brings with it a greater adrenaline-rush than any of the previous F1 games have managed to offer. F1 2017 is a virtual reflection of that renewed vigor. With the domination of the Mercedes team all but guaranteed since the beginning of the hybrid-era, new rules have injected some much needed spark into the once unquestioned pinnacle of motorsport. Formula One has been stagnant in recent years.
