F1 22 hands-on preview – glamor and safety cars

With the full game releasing on July 1, we had one more chance to give EA Sports F1 22 a try before launch.

With the full game releasing on July 1, we had one more chance to give EA Sports F1 22 a try before launch. Our newest look at the racing game is all about F1 Life hub and the Pirelli Hot Lap mode, where you can drive expensive and charming supercars.

It might sound weird, but the biggest change we’ve noticed as we got access to this new build is the EA Sports component. This is the second Codemasters-created F1 game under EA, of course, but last year EA’s influence was just a logo animation before the main menu. This year, Electronic Arts is written all over the place, right down to the signature menu music, something you’ve seen happen in FIFA, Madden, NHL games in the past. Previous Formula 1 games never had anything like that before.
