F1 2016 features the "most immersive" career mode to date

The latest Formula One game is released on Friday  for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Codemasters F1 2016 contains more features than last year's instalment of the franchise,including a comprehensive Career Mode, the return of the safety car, and the possibility to compete in a championship with 22 players online.

In an interview with Red Bull.com, lead designer of F1 2016 by Codemasters Lee Mather discussed the game and its features.

"Our main focus was to introduce a deep and rich Career Mode, which would have the player coming back to the game over and over again. We also wanted to replicate the really cool and unique aspects of F1 to really immerse players into the sport," Mather said. "The Career Mode forms the spine of the game and is by far and away the most immersive and in-depth career we've ever created."

"The career can span for up to ten years. You pick your avatar and race number before selecting which team you want to start with," he added. "The higher ranked team you select, the higher their expectations. It's then up to you to perform against those expectations and the better you do the more upgrades you'll be able to introduce to the car by working with your R&D Engineer."

"You may also decide that you want to move up through the teams over the years so your agent can negotiate on your behalf and come to you with offers. The more you play, and the more sessions you complete, the more you're able to drive your team and car forward in search of the world championship."
