We are just weeks away from one of EA's biggest releases of the year and revs are creeping up in anticipation for F1 2021.

The gaming community will get to experience the action-packed virtual racing sim for the first time on next-generation consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, as Codemasters look to take their series to the next level.
