Released as the F1 season builds to its climax, F1 2012 is just what F1 fans need to keep them going during the winter break. The game lets you play the full 2012 season, with every track, car and driver present and correct (including the United States...

With F1 2012, we have to applaud the hard work that has gone in to bring the simulation as close to the real world F1 circus. The interface looks a lot better, and the car and circuit detailing has been improved upon the already brilliant F1 2011....
