F1 2017 will release onto PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC worldwide on August 25th 2017.

Codemasters have released a brand new trailer showcasing the World Constructors’ Championship winning 2010 Red Bull Racing RB6, as driven by the 2010 World Champion Sebastian Vettel and team mate Mark Webber. The Red Bull Racing RB6 was a dominant car in 2010, with nine wins, fifteen pole positions and six fastest laps. Further classic cars will be revealed in the coming weeks!

[miptheme_quote author=”Said Christian Horner, Team Principal, Red Bull Racing” style=”text-center”]The RB6 is our first Championship winning car, and as such is very special to us. 2010 was a dream year for Red Bull Racing, to achieve our ambition and to do so in such a compelling and dominant fashion was a fitting testament to the car, the drivers and commitment of the team. We are delighted the RB6 is included in the new F1 game as a classic car, it’s certainly a classic to us and I’m sure gamers will love driving it and trying to recreate those golden moments on track.[/miptheme_quote]
