  The debut race at Miami International Autodrome takes place this weekend and is set to be a thrilling affair. Ahead of the race, we\u2019ve shared just a taste of what you can expect, with the gameplay debut of F1 22<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

  Situated in the heart of the city, drivers and players will have to navigate 19-corners, many of which are in full view of the Hard Rock Stadium. With three DRS zones and a long start-finish straight, there will be plenty of opportunities to overtake in this fast and flowing layout.<\/p>\n

  This year\u2019s new regulations have thrown up some unexpected results in the opening races of the sport\u2019s new era. Thanks to the new radical car designs, drivers have been able to follow the car in front a lot closer. These new changes have been reflected with new physics, tyre, and handling models added to F1 22<\/em>. Recently announced F1 22<\/em> ambassador and cover star in Scuderia Ferrari\u2019s Charles Leclerc leads the championship after a strong start to the season, with reigning champion Max Verstappen hot on his heels in second place after a dominant win in Imola last time out.<\/p>\n

  Not only will F1 22<\/em> feature the Miami track at launch alongside many other global circuits, but new Immersive and Broadcast modes get you closer to the action than ever before. Select \u201cImmersive\u201d and you\u2019ll need to be on your toes for the risk-reward interactive pit stops, as well as keeping your car under control during formation laps and safety car periods. Don\u2019t fancy the risk? Select \u201cBroadcast\u201d and those parts of the race will be taken care of for you, with authentic cinematic camera angles throughout.<\/p>\n
