On the surface, the cars look true to their real-life form but don’t represent some of the final design and performance updates since this is still a preview. The trailer snaps between multiple angles of the 2022F1cars and at one point features a special car livery to commemorate the Miami Grand Prix along with other apparel that will feature in the game’s new F1 Life customizable space. The Miami Vice paint scheme comes with a race suit and helmet design, t-shirt, and cap. These limited-time pre-order bonuses will go to fans who pre-order the Champions Edition before May 16.
