There are changes in this year's F1 in terms of sound, where the engine sounds more realistic and full. Additionally, there are additions such as great music, sprint races, formation rounds with safety car, Pirelli events with supercars, etc.
In terms of gameplay, the physics have become more challenging, as even small mistakes can send you off track either with the steering or the throttle. Of course, this reflects the real-life cars of this year. Many times, you may feel that it's unfair, but once you get used to it, the driving remains enjoyable. The full experience is best with a steering wheel, of course.
A major plus is the improved artificial intelligence. The other drivers drive more intelligently, avoiding collisions, blocking the road, and attempting overtakes.
The online mode is quite good in terms of features, but I think the players are becoming more and more unacceptable every year. You try to play cleanly with the professional rules in a 25% race, and you can't finish the race. Only 1/5 of the time you manage to come out unscathed. It's a frustrating community.
As for the negatives, perhaps the graphics are one, where on one hand they are more intense and clear, but I was expecting a next-gen improvement. The game, over time, relies on the same formula and looks the same, which is understandable for a game that is released so quickly, but on the other hand, with the power of the PS5 and games like GT7 pushing the boundaries, we expect something more. Additionally, the lack of a story definitely costs the game in terms of providing a more complete experience and justifying its price adequately. It also has some glitches, especially when searching for lobbies.
Although I enjoy it quite a bit as a game, due to its negatives, I would give it a 7/10.
