Throughout each season in F1 2018 your driver’s contract can be renegotiated and, depending on how well you’ve been meeting team goals and your overall value to the organisation, you may be able to propose extra perks. There’s a new contract system to wrestle with, team morale to consider (and manipulate), and also the threat of all your research and development gains being dashed by regulation changes from season to season. The 10-season career mode plays out in a very similar fashion to the those in F1 2016 and F1 2017, but there are more layers to it now. The juicier changes in F1 2018 are its massaged career mode and AI improvements. F1 2018 is an excellent-looking racing game, make no mistake. Even gloomy, overcast conditions look fantastic as the sun struggles to beat through gaps in the grey clouds above. The spectrum of authentic lighting conditions in F1 2018 is great, from bright, blue days to low sun burning through the haze.

There’s more granular trackside detail than ever before with pumped-up tree foliage, plus surfaces that better display their years of high speed abuse thanks to improvements to the lighting system. Visual enhancements elsewhere aren’t quite as obvious – certainly at the speeds F1 cars tend to thread through these circuits – but they’re there nonetheless. F1 2018’s humans remain a rung below the cars and circuits in terms of fidelity but they’re an instantly noticeable improvement on F1 2017, with far more realistic skin, hair, and facial animation. There's more granular trackside detail than ever beforeThese people-powered sequences do look better than they ever have previously, though. It’s baffling to me how quickly F1 2018 rushes through the act of attaining the ultimate goal of Formula 1.
I think the celebratory hugs in the garage after securing a World Championship are new, but after that all you get is a picture of a trophy and it’s back to work. Some reused menus and rehashed commentary are one thing, but the fact we’ve been seeing the same garage interstitials and podium celebrations for four years now (since F1 2015!) is a bit rich. The recycled look doesn’t harm the on-track experience, but it would have been nice to see some meaningful tweaks to the presentation to coincide with the motorsport’s first rebrand since 1987.
