We’re extraordinarily excited to finally be able to discuss the F1 2016 Limited Edition version, which is now available for pre-order! We’re not just stopping there with the sharing, though.

The challenge is huge!” Jolyon also said that practising on the new circuit in the new F1 2016 videogame ahead of the race makes him feel as though he understands the circuit “…probably more than most others, maybe everyone in the field so, it’s going to give me a little advantage.” Talking about Baku’s soon-to-be famous Turn 5, Jolyon Palmer added: “There’s some crazy corners and maybe the craziest there is in FORMULA ONE, with the up-the-hill left and then straight into a blind right hander… It’s going to be easy to hit a wall. I think we will have to sacrifice some grip in the corners to keep up on the straight.” The historic city centre, beautiful seaside promenade and impressive architecture all combine to provide the perfect backdrop to the new track – and it’s quite a spectacular contrast to see cars at the forefront of racing technology throwing themselves around a track enclosed by such a combination of history and 21 st Century style.Īfter a lap or two of the new circuit on F1 2016, Daniel commented: “I can’t think of anything like Baku… For the corners it looks like you want to have maximum downforce, but I don’t think you can afford to run it because of the long straight.
