We’ve had a hands-on look at the new F1 game 2026 season pack ahead of its launch on June 3
EA and Codemasters are working on recreating the 2026 Formula 1 cars for the F1 25 season DLC, set to be released on June 3.
Early impressions of the 2026 season pack show that super clipping is a significant factor in the game, affecting speed and gear changes on certain parts of the track.
One notable addition is the overtake mode, replacing DRS, which allows drivers to temporarily boost their energy deployment to aid in passing opponents within a second.
Energy management plays a crucial role in driving these new cars, with fluctuations in battery charge over each lap and the importance of lift-and-coast driving technique.
For Esports drivers looking for optimal performance, mastering energy deployment and lift-and-coast techniques will be key to achieving faster lap times.
