How to Play Formula One
Quick start
Begin with a short race, automatic gears and a forgiving car setup. Brake in a straight line before the corner, turn smoothly through the apex, and accelerate only as steering unwinds. Use practice to learn braking markers and pit entry, watch tyre and fuel indicators during longer events, and avoid contact because damaged handling costs more time than a cautious pass. Switch to manual gears after the circuit is familiar.
Controls
The game offers nine selectable control schemes: use D-pad Left/Right to steer, then follow the Control Select screen for the assigned accelerator, brake and gear-shift inputs. Start pauses. Menus choose driver, circuit, qualifying, transmission, wing and tyre setup; in manual transmission, use the scheme's Shift Up input as engine revs rise.
