Create and Lead Your Own F1 Constructor
F1 2020 expanded the long-running racing franchise by giving players far more control than simply driving a car. Developed by Codemasters, this edition introduces a My Team mode that blends on-track action with off-track leadership, allowing you to follow a path similar to historic figures like Bruce McLaren and Jack Brabham: driver and team principal in one.
A Fuller Manager Experience with My Team
My Team transforms you into the founder of a new constructor — effectively the championship’s 11th team — and lets you guide it through a custom ten-year career. You design the identity and infrastructure of your outfit, oversee finances, and make strategic choices that affect both race weekends and long-term development.
Key setup choices (examples):
- Hire your teammate and set the driver pairing
- Choose and negotiate a power unit supplier
- Design team colors and craft a logo
- Secure commercial partners and sponsorship deals
- Create your own driver avatar from a roster featuring 48 heads, including several female options
After the initial setup you can tailor how your season unfolds:
- Mentor and manage your teammate’s progress
- Develop and upgrade the car across the season
- Schedule training weeks and driver programs
- Select season length and difficulty to match your preferred experience
The mode also adds role-play elements: you’ll attend interviews, learn negotiation and diplomacy mechanics, and face the media — all of which add authenticity to the career path.
Better Accessibility and Local Multiplayer
One of the most welcome changes is the return of split-screen, making it easy to race with friends on the same console. New driving assists and customizable difficulty settings broaden the game’s appeal, so newcomers and veterans can both enjoy competitive sessions. The controls and options are presented in a streamlined way that helps players get into the action quickly.
Presentation, Immersion, and Driving Feel
F1 2020 leans into a broadcast-style presentation, with a polished user interface and race-day production that make events feel televised and cinematic. The handling and sensory elements of the cars are tuned to deliver a convincing on-track experience — from the aerodynamic push to the sensation of speed — so races feel both authentic and exciting.
Why This Entry Stands Out
Taken together, My Team, improved accessibility, split-screen support, and refined presentation make F1 2020 one of the most complete and approachable entries in the series. While no release is without minor issues, the depth of team management and the satisfying driving model place this installment among the franchise’s strongest.
