Watch the first F1 2018 gameplay, presented by a real driver

Charles Leclerc captures his hot lap at Monaco with the new game.
David Caballero Editor-in-Chief Spain 24 May 2018

The young Monégasque racing driver Charles Leclerc (Alfa Romeo Sauber) has played "at home", driving through the Monaco circuit on F1 2018, as the very first gameplay footage of the upcoming Codemasters title has been presented to us.

The Monaco GP will actually take place this weekend, but the game will release on PC, PS4, and Xbox One much later, on August 24. In the WIP video, the driver gives pro commentary on the different turns and parts of the iconic circuit, but he apparently doesn't use the brand-new player-managed ERS system, which has just been announced by the developers too.

Is the Monaco GP one of your favourite racing events?
