My Team

My Team is one of the biggest features to be introduced for this year's Formula 1 game.

Fans of games such as Football Manager will love this game mode. For the first time ever, you'll be able to control your own team. You're no longer playing the off-line modes as a driver but as a team boss instead.

My Team will be the most in-depth mode in the F1 game's history and something that adds real value to the product.
