What’s more, they’re not just tacked on as an added bonus but neatly woven into the career mode as one-off races and challenges. If you’re a massive F1 fan like I am, to have the virtual opportunity to take iconic cars of the last thirty years such as dominant 1988 McLaren MP4/4, the 1995 Ferrari 412 T2 (the last of the V12s) or Vettel’s 2010 Red Bull RB6 among others, is probably the closest one will ever get to these glorious machines. Building upon last year’s entry Codemasters have taken things to another level thanks, in part, to the inclusion of historic F1 cars. They may be right on some level but thankfully modern F1 games are going from strength to strength and this year is no exception. Some will say modern F1 has lost much of the romance of yesteryear and that the modern cars, whilst looking more aggressive this season, are boring. It was a tense finish and a memory still so vivid I can almost hear Murray Walker’s commentary. However, despite the disparity, Senna held him off thanks, in part, to the tight street setting of Monaco but also due to his excellent race craft. Coming out on fresh tyres Mansell set a lap record which was two seconds quicker than Senna and with three laps to go was right behind the Brazilian. A charging Nigel Mansell, in the iconic Williams FW14B, chased down Ayrton Senna who inherited the lead after a loose wheel nut forced Mansell to pit. One of my first memories of watching Formula 1 (F1) was the 1992 Monaco Grand Prix.
