It looks good, but means getting to the action is longer than it needs to be.
Like its predecessor, and other Codemasters racing games, F1 2011 houses its career in an attractive motor-home which acts as your menu hub. There are two new circuits, the Nurburgring and Buddh International Circuit. Multiplayer is still excellent, and now features split-screen mode.
The first gives drivers a quick power boost for overtaking, while DRS allows drag to be reduced while racing, again giving a possible speed boost. In terms of realism, there is now an optional safety car for people who want the full F1 experience, and the KERS and DRS systems have been introduced too.
