The game received a mixed review from Eurogamer, rating it 5 out of 10, citing lack of new features and an uninspiring career mode. They also praised the graphics, calling them "superb for PS3/Xbox 360, with impressive weather effects". Game Revolution gave the game a positive review with a rating of 4.5 out of 5, stating that its "authentic, fun racing balances accessibility and simulation well", and that "a focus shift from history and F1 melodrama to races alone is a welcome change". Reviewers praised the new feel of the 2014 turbo-hybrid cars, the graphics, the racing action and some new features that made the game more accessible, but criticism of the lack of new major features and the removal of the classic content from the previous game resulted in mixed reviews.

F1 2014 review driver#
The game features the initial driver line-ups from the 2014 season. This was the last Formula 1 game released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and the last F1 game to be released in September/October. The game does not feature Classic Content, a feature from the game's predecessor which allowed users to drive historic Formula One cars around historic tracks. The game also features a new driver evaluation test, and the Scenario Mode has been improved.
Also unlike previous titles, the Career Mode allows players to choose from three different season lengths: seven races, 12 races or the full 19 races. The game allows players to choose any team to drive for at the start of Career Mode, rather than forcing the player to start at a team lower down the grid, as in previous titles. All of the 2014 Formula One tracks are featured, including new additions like the Red Bull Ring, Hockenheimring, the brand-new Sochi Autodrom, and Bahrain in night conditions.
The game features the new turbo-hybrid cars introduced in the 2014 season, as well as the team and driver line-ups. F1 2014 is a racing video game based on the 2014 Formula One season developed and published by Codemasters.
