While we had high expectations for the game when it was first announced, I think a good portion of people were expecting something like the My Team mode but from a managerial perspective. What we ended up getting was a licensed feature removed copy of Motorsport Manager.
While it may be unfair to compare those two, as MM is as much older game with plenty of mods which extend it even beyond of what this game can do, you'd expect a bit more polish from a game that costs twice the price. But I think the comparison is somewhat fair because some of the UI elements are exactly the same as the ones in MM but with a different skin on top. Car setup is the same, tire selection is the same...Apart from some specifics this game has, even the manual driver management is similar. That makes the asking price not be worth it, IMO.
Graphics wise, some of the drivers are...let's say the developers didn't quite get the skin tone correct in some. Either their skin is too dark, they look like they have a fake tan or sunburn. When some of them have facial movement, they...It's almost like the gates of hell are opening in front of your very eyes. Granted that is not so much important for a game of this genre but those assets add several GB to the game size and...You'd expect at least some polish in that regard.
As per the simulation, many aspects which are exclusive to F1 are lacking, things like briefings (which MM has to some extent in a different form), media stuff and so on. Things that My Team has. The simulation itself is also quite shallow and deterministic. Once you figure out how the thing functions, you can pretty much take any team with any combination of drivers to the points. You'd think the various differences between different cars from different teams would be well represented, but they're not.
Apart from a few small things here and there, you'd better off getting Motorsport Manager and using some F1 mod instead.
