Sports games are a dime a dozen.
Well, not literally -annual installments cost 70 a pop- but you know what I mean.
Theres a lot of them.

Then the red lights flashed across the screen, went out, and at that moment, everything changed.
Jostling against cars around that first corner, suddenly I did feel like Lewis Hamilton.

That happened more often than I would care to divulge.
Actually, maybe Im more Chanoch Nissany than Hamilton.
Pro tip: turn the volume down on the controllers speaker before starting up F1 for the first time.
Just a random example, definitely not something that happened to me.

This stuff happens often.
Even as an F1 fan, I was lost.
Last years F1 offering felt like it was waiting for something.
A stopgap between generations that had arrived a year early.
F1 2021 shows why F1 2020 felt that way.
Version tested: PS5.
