Formula 1 racing games have been around for decades, and even in the early 2000s it was possible for multiple developers to get a licence to make a game, rather than the exclusive deals we have become familiar more recently. More competition among F1 games could be a good and a bad thing though, as Nathan Quinn explores with a trip back to visit the best and worst F1 games that have ever been produced.

oh come on, no Accolade's Grand Prix Circuit?!?!? that's the true OG f1 game
Still remmenber GP3… 2 friends LAN and we play for hours….
F1 2009 and f1 2015. Not much to say about 2009, 2015 was devoid of all features from what I remember. I'm pretty sure they got rid of career mode, and renamed championship to career mode!
F1 is the GOAT.
If you can't divebomb the whole grid at the 1st corner are you even playing an F1 game?
F1 manager / clash is the most toxic addicted game ever!
F1 2022 EA…..micro transaction for a pitstop
F1 world Grand Prix (1 and 2) for the Nintendo 64 were brilliant, and way ahead of their time
F1 2014 is a very good Game I think
I tried the GameBoy F1 game back in the day. It felt exactly like playing F1 Hero on NES, but looked better. Feeling old yet?
F1 2020 for me is easily the best f1 game. Well done codies
F1 2019.. ew
F1 2014 was literally just a copy and paste of F1 2013 with stripped down features and they somehow fucked up the handling. They just put in the 2014 cars vacuum cleaner engines and called it a day
Grand Prix Legends and F1 challenge are the best!
geoff crammond's gp2 was far ahead of its time it's insane. gp4 is more or less a better graphics version with awesome variable weather. geoff crammond was head and shoulders above any other game of its time, and the ai is better than any of todays games.
In my opinion F1 2006 ps3 version was incomplete compared to its PS2 version.
Was about to go ballistic here seeing F1 CE 2000 because honestly, I would've had it in the top 5 ahead of '97.
But yeah, that PS2 port was garbage so fair enough lol
F1 2020 is total garbage lol worst physics than gp3 LOL
F1 championship season 2000 is good in pc…
Official F1 Racing was the first F1 game I played on PC. I was 8 years old and I loved it. That was, of course, before I knew about Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix series… I couldn't tell a good F1 game from a bad one back then.
By the way, props for al lthe detailed research into the various developing studios and everything! Very informative.
The one thing i want in formula one games is the abbilty to drive in the pitlane
Is f1 2009 is the worst f1 game ever? Because of the graphics
F1 2015 is missing
Grand-Prix 4 was amazing, so good! F1 98 was rubbish and really hard to control the cars. I thought the worse recent F1 game was on PS3 where the tyres dropped off so much that the car becomes undrivable.
F1 World Grand Prix on N64… what about that? One of the strongest racing games.
Grand Prix 2. Nothing else…
Grand Prix 2,3 and 4 were my absolute fav. I even played that game co-op with a friend on one pc. After 2 or 3 rounds the AI took over and we swapped seats and also the car. Playing with a big beefy joystick lol. Good times
And now F1 2020 if my fav ofc.
I can agree with that list. No objections
3:39 how ahead of it's time is a game, where you have actually fully modeled marshals come out and push the car out of the track ?? That is incredible.
Erm…2015 was way worse than 14
is the commentator @PSL Racing ?
F1 2015 with 2014 season is better than F1 2014 because the engine sound is better than the crap one.
F1 Championship Edition (2006) was my first F1 game, and im thankful for it
You put F1 2020 on the list, but forget F1 2012, F1 2013, F1 2016… no respect on that.
All the codemasters and EA ones are shit.
You end up with something barely recognisable as f1 – sounds like the real sport since 2014
2011 sucks. 2012 wasn't much better. 2019 is where I saw code-amateurs trying to build better and 2020 smashed it.
I hope codemasters include a tv commentary option so you could hear those Moderators talking about the race
F1 challenge 99-02 one love❤️❤️❤️
To this day, i still think that F1 2000 for the PS1 is such a solid good one
I remember F1 98 and I remember the understeering. The game was unplayable.
Loved f1 2009, my childhood game
F1 championship edition is still my favourite f1 game
9:47 Eutechnyx are MOST known for one specific non-driving game though…
Good games honorable mentions:
F1 2013, f1 2019, f1 2021 etc.
Bad games unhonorable mentions:
F1 2015, the shitty mobile f1 games etc.
does anyone remember am F1 game that came in a kellogs/corn flakes box in the UK?
F1 2020: one of the best F1 games ever…
No… absolutely not. The F1 games have had the same physics and handling since about 2014. And with EA thrown into the mix this year, a yearly cash in with ultimate team like trading card mechanics? PitCoin? I’ll stick to modding Assetto Corsa or RF2, thanks.
and… Nobody now about Grand Prix Legends? It was good game about f1 of the end 60's years.
you forgot Formula 1 Racing Championship the best F1 ever ! 2001
