Shortly after the release of Grand Prix Legends the sim racing community looked forward to another title that promised to offer a similar insight into historic racing.

EA have updated the F1 23 driver ratings again to include the Dutch and Italian Grand Prix.
I swear, the further we get into the season the less these updates make sense to me. Lewis Hamilton lost rating after two sixth-place finishes while George Russell gained with a seventeenth and fifth. Apparently it was the collision in one of those races that caused a massive five point drop, but I don’t see Perez, Tsunoda, Magnussen, Russell, Piastri or Sargeant take similar hits for actions, occasionally by ‘causing a collision’ themselves, that caused penalties. Make it make sense.
Announced October, 2019 with the extension of the F1 license until 2025. Developed and published by Codemasters, it will be the sixteenth title in the Formula One series developed by the studio.
