This is the first game in Codemasters' F1 video game series upon acquiring the licensing rights for Formula One video games in 2008, with all subsequent sequels based on further F1 seasons released annually on non-Nintendo consoles and the PC. It eventually became the only F1 game to be available on the Wii and one of only two F1 games that Codemasters released for a Nintendo console, with the other one being the spin-off, F1 Race Stars, for the Wii U.
