The biggest feature of the F1 2021 game is arguable the all-new Braking Point narrative-led mode.
Playing through a story that mixes cinematics, incidental details and gameplay challenges, you take on the role of young upstart, Aiden Jackson, as he progresses from Formula 2 to a midfield Formula 1 team.
