F1 25 review

F1 25 is the official Formula One game, and on Steam it now sells as the 2026 Season Edition, which bundles the base game with the 2026 Season Pack for $49.99. The pack adds Audi and Cadillac to the grid, the updated 2026 driver line-ups and MADRING, a 5.4 km street and purpose-built circuit in Madrid with 22 corners. The 2026 cars are lighter and smaller with active aerodynamics, and the page says they suit both gamepad and wheel players. Career and My Team modes return, the Konnersport story extends into both modes, and a livery editor lets you set driver numbers and move or scale logos. Steam lists split-screen, LAN and online play with cross-platform multiplayer, VR support and full controller support. The trade-off is scope: it covers only Formula One, and open-wheel racing is less forgiving than the arcade games here.
