With Codemasters’ F1 2016 now less than two weeks away, gamers can look forward to experiencing the game’s new and improved career mode.

This rather dramatic trailer shows how you can create your own legend within the came, starting by choosing your own avatar and number that will appear on whichever car you go with.

As you can see, there’s a lot going on in pre-race, such as interviews and even a formation lap – followed by manual starts which should add more depth and realism to the overall racing experience.

Also, if you’ve been following the action during this year’s Formula 1 season, you’ll notice a couple of faithfully reproduced scenes within the trailer itself. One is Vettel’s amazing start in Canada and the other is Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg taking each other out in Spain.

Which team will you be racing for once the game is released on August 19th?
