F1 2014

F1 2014 is a licensed season-specific Formula 1 racing simulator. The game features nineteen tracks, replicating the circle shape and number of turns, as well as the cars and liveries of the teams from that year. The races require an understanding of the trajectory and braking: the car responds to every movement, and a mistake at the exit of a turn costs several positions. Tire wear and weather change tactics, so pit stops are planned in advance. There are qualifications, races and modes with different conditions. In addition to single races, there is a career and online competitions. The settings make it easier to control if you have little experience in such games. The car responds to every movement, and slow turns require a pre-selected gear, otherwise the pace is lost at the exit. Rainy races turn into a separate test: the trajectory changes, and you have to brake earlier. As the season progresses, the team brings updates and the car gradually becomes faster. Qualifying decides a lot: starting from the middle of the peloton on narrow tracks is difficult. The settings make it easier to manage, or you can leave everything as it is and figure it out yourself, comparing your own laps by time sector. The tires wear out gradually, and by the end of the segment the car becomes slippery. Pit stop tactics are decided in advance, but rain can change any plans. You can do laps in free mode to learn the track without pressure from your opponents. The game neatly conveys the logic of the season. For anyone who follows motorsports, the F1 2014 remains a solid option.
