Formula 1: EA Sports reveal cover stars for F1 2023 game

The cover of the standard edition will feature Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton and Lado Norris.

Another iteration of EA Sports' annual Formula 1 game got announced with its cover starts. Like the past few years, the game has mainly released two editions for you to get your hands on.

Last year, the cover athletes for F1 2022's Standard Edition were McLaren's Lando Norris, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, and Mercedes' George Russell. So, George Russell is the type of guy to let his teammate replace him in the latest edition of the long-running franchise.

The Champions Edition from last year featured four World Champions- Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, and Sebastian Vettel. Since then, Alonso has joined Aston Martin from Alpine, and Vettel has retired from this sport.

F1 2022 included the base game for both editions. Those who purchased the Champions Edition got the F1 Life Starter pack, New Era content pack, 18000 Pitcoins, Drivable Safety Cars, and New MyTeam Icons.

Being an average enjoyer of the game myself, I cannot emphasize how much the developers at Codemasters have reinvented the basics with each title. Anyone can feel the steep learning curve that makes it a different sub-genre within racing games.

Its simulation type can be enhanced so that you can intake a complete race weekend experience firsthand. There is an additional VR experience from last year that takes the overall realism a few notches higher.
