Electronic Arts and Codemasters have today released the F1 2021 launch trailer ahead of the game’s launch next week.

The new trailer shows off parts of the story mode, crash physics, pit stops, and most importantly, the racing. This year F1 2021 introduces Braking Point, a new story mode that will have you rise through the ranks of F2 before signing with an F1 team to ultimately try and win the drivers and constructors championships.
