EA and Codemasters have shared their F1 23 gameplay features deep dive featuring Sky Sports F1 presenter Natalie Pinkham highlighting the updated vehicle handling, physics, new tracks, the return of red flags and much more. The team also introduces their new Precision Drive controller technology offering an overhauled experience for players without a steering wheel controller.
The new 35% race distance which debuted in F1 Esports allows players to race shorter options with the same rules applied to full races, like mandatory pit stops. F1 23 will also feature the return of red flags creating more on-the-fly strategy scenarios on the way to the pits. A red flag may be activated due to multiplayer racing incidents caused by other drivers, offline mode AI, or severe wet weather conditions. Similarly to the actual sport, you can modify your race plan, change tires, and fix some car damage prior to the race resuming. Moreover, you have the option to customize the red flag’s sensitivity in the menu to meet your preferences.
