EA SPORTS DYNAMIC HANDLING
Working closely with Max Verstappen, the new EA SPORTS Dynamic Handling redefines the feel of the car to produce a realistic and predictable performance across wheel and pad.
All-new suspension kinematics, an upgraded tyre model, advanced aerodynamic simulation, and new engine and car setup options enhance the driving experience. All driving aspects are improved with cornering, rolling resistance, brake pressure, ambient track temperature, and variable conditions enabling drivers to receive immediate feedback to maximise their on-track performance.
You can find out more about all the handling changes in our Gameplay Deep Dive.
REVAMPED CAREER
We have overhauled Career mode, players can step into the shoes of F1® drivers from the 2024 grid, up-and-coming competitors from the world of F2™, or legendary past racers in the form of Icons.
Exclusive to Champions Edition players, two new Icons make their debut in F1® 24: former World Champion James Hunt and Colombia’s most successful F1® driver, Juan Pablo Montoya.
Further innovations to Career mode include:
- Gain Recognition
- R&D Upgrades
- Earn Accolades

Our blog on Career Mode has all the information you need to get up-to-speed with all the changes we have made.
GREATER AUTHENTICITY
Enhancements on and around the circuits add to the race week experience, including Silverstone which has received a significant update to deliver authentic circuit accuracy.
Changes to Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Lusail International Circuit, and Jeddah Corniche Circuit ensure that in-game tracks match their real-world counterparts.
In addition, actual driver audio samples taken from F1® broadcasts add a new dimension, as they react to on-track incidents. Plus, a new broadcast presentation package and cutscenes add to the race day immersion.
