The wait for news about F1 2020 is finally over.

We have a release date of 10 July for the new game, and a slew of news about what new features Codemasters have in store to make this game the best yet.

While F1 fans are without on-track racing, Codemasters' F1 2019 game has been playing host to the Virtual Grand Prix Series, with F1 drivers past, present, and future set to compete in the Virtual Chinese GP this weekend.

But what can players get up to in the new game when it finally arrives?

My Team mode - add 11th team to the grid

Fans have been wanting it, and now we've got it.

Codemasters have added My Team as a separate game mode to the outstanding Career Mode. This gives players the chance to create a brand new team from scratch and dive into a new driver-manager experience that offers a unique insight into the world of F1.
