F1 23 is out tomorrow, and we can't wait to put pedal to the metal and soar around the multitude of tracks available. What's great about this title is the return of the story campaign Braking Point 2, which is set in the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

As well at the story though, of course you'll have the option to compete as your favourite real life driver. And with this title being the only official licensed Formula One game, you can be sure that all the drivers' stats are close to reality.
