The in-game data reveals fans’ favorite drivers, teams, circuits and achievements, which includes 2.21 billion miles driven, 23.62 million pit stops and strong interaction with new features and live content.
For the first time, players could compete as one of the 20 F1 drivers, an F2 up-and-comer or a legendary icon in the revamped Career mode. Lewis Hamilton emerged as the most popular F1 driver, followed by Charles Leclerc and four time World Champion Max Verstappen. Oliver Bearman and Ayrton Senna topped preferences in F2 and Icon categories respectively.
Bahrain, Melbourne and Jeddah ranked as fan-favorite circuits, with traditional tracks dominating player choices.
