TouchArcade Rating:

Things are really hotting up in this season’s Formula One world championship, with Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg able to tie up proceedings with a victory in Brazil this weekend. With such high stakes, it’s understandable that hardcore supporters of the motorsport are excitedly anticipating Sunday’s race, and to help fuel the fervent fires of such fans Codemasters have today surprisingly dropped an iOS version of F1 2016 ($1.99) on the App Store. With all the iconic drivers from this year’s series, coupled with all 21 classic circuits visited over the course of the championship, and unsurprisingly stunning graphical detail to the vehicles and environments, F1 2016 could be the next big premium racing release on the iPhone, and for $9.99 certainly has the price tag to support such claims.

While today’s release may have taken us by surprise, this isn’t the first we’ve heard of F1 2016 – back at Apple’s livestream event for the new iPhone 7, the racing game was showcased as a demonstration of the power that the new A10 chip in the device possessed. Such graphical fidelity is a guarantee as a result, and F1 2016 is an essential purchase for anyone with Apple’s new phone and wants to make the most of it. However, for the rest of us, there are some lingering questions as to how the game will handle on slightly older devices, and also how the transition from the meticulous control of consoles translates to the smaller touch screen of smartphones. However, the game is full of features and game modes, as well as at least sharing its name with Codemaster’s best Formula One game yet, so hopefully the mobile iteration doesn’t disappoint. If you’re a fan of F1 2016, be sure to race down to our forum thread and share your impressions with us.
