The game received mostly positive reviews from critics, with most user criticism aimed at the lack of innovation compared to previous titles and the new "F1 Life" mode, as well as the revised in-game vehicle handling model which caused controversy over its new traction system, linked to the real-life regulation change Formula 1 saw for the 2022 season.
