You might be left feeling like F1 25 is playing things a bit too safe and not taking any risks. BUT who can blame Codemasters for coasting behind a safety car when they have no direct competition.

F1 25 is a far broader and better package than last year’s installment, and it’s comfortably the strongest the series has been since the fan favourite F1 2020.
While F1 25 doesn't represent a revolution within the franchise, it does consolidate and refine key elements, ensuring that fans of the series enjoy a more polished and immersive experience.
It's clear that EA and Codemasters have focused on making a different game. Will it satisfy the core fan base? Probably, though perhaps not 100%. It's also worth asking whether the developers, with small changes, aren't beginning to open up their horizons to a new, more casual audience, one that doesn't want to spend so much time on specific car configurations...
Subtle improvements and the amalgamation of ways F1 25 engages players aren't enough to stave off the fact there's no bold step forward with this latest series offering. It's another year and another entry, and while you'll still want to return if you've been dedicated to F1 games for years, there's not enough here to justify F1 25 as a must-buy.
