F1 2017 continues the drip-feed of content with McLaren classic car reveal

Codemasters is pressing on with the gradual drip-feeding of content for its upcoming F1 2017 release in August. Today it’s revealed another short trailer which completes its unveiling of classic cars that will feature in F1 2017, focusing on four McLaren cars from F1 history. Get excited, unless you’re a Brawn GP fan.

This short reveal shows four historic McLaren cars, and not much else, really. Unless you’re a long-time fan of the sport, the significance of these reveals won’t really get you going. But thankfully F1 games don’t tend to attract casual interest, because these cars have been lovingly recreated.

The line up begins with the legendary 1988 McLaren MP4/4, driven by Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost before their rivalry turned really ugly. Then there’s the 1991 MP4/6, which was driven again by Senna and by Gerhard Bergher. Third is the 1998 MP4/13 that Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard drove, and finally the 2008 MP4/23 which was driven by Heikki Kovalainen and Lewis Hamilton. This happens to be the car which Hamilton won his first World Drivers Championship in. 

2008 was also the year that Hamilton won the British GP with a masterclass in the wet. Now you can try and recreate that.

F1 2017 is due to release on August 25, for the PS4, Xbox One and PC.
