Feature Request: F1 LEGENDS — Historic Drivers, Cars & Championships

Hello EA Sports and Codemasters,

I would like to suggest a new game mode for a future F1 title called F1 LEGENDS.

The idea is to create a dedicated historical mode that allows players to experience the history of Formula 1 through real legendary drivers, cars, teams, circuits and championships.

Rather than simply adding a few classic cars, the goal would be to make the history of F1 fully playable.

 

🏆 1. Historic Drivers + Their Legendary Cars

Players should be able to select legendary drivers and race with the cars they are famous for.

For example:

🇧🇷 Ayrton Senna — McLaren MP4/4
🇩🇪 Michael Schumacher — Ferrari F2004
🇬🇧 Nigel Mansell — Williams FW14B
🇫🇷 Alain Prost — McLaren MP4/4
🇫🇮 Mika Häkkinen — McLaren MP4/13
🇪🇸 Fernando Alonso — Renault R25/R26
🇬🇧 Lewis Hamilton — McLaren MP4-23 / Mercedes
🇩🇪 Sebastian Vettel — Red Bull RB6

The important part would be that the driver and the historically accurate car are connected, rather than having classic drivers and classic cars as completely separate features.

 

🏁 2. Full Historic Championships

Players should be able to replay complete historical seasons.

For example:

1988

Senna vs Prost

1994

Schumacher vs Hill

2000

Schumacher vs Häkkinen

2004

Schumacher vs Alonso

2008

Hamilton vs Massa

2010

Vettel vs Alonso vs Webber

2021

Hamilton vs Verstappen

The player could either recreate history or change the outcome.

 

🔥 3. Dream Championship

This could be the biggest feature.

Players could create a championship containing drivers and cars from different eras.

For example:

Ayrton Senna — McLaren MP4/4
vs
Michael Schumacher — Ferrari F2004
vs
Lewis Hamilton — Mercedes W11
vs
Sebastian Vettel — Red Bull RB9
vs
Fernando Alonso — Renault R25

All competing in the same championship.

This would finally allow players to explore the question:

Who would be the greatest F1 driver if the legends from different generations could race against each other?

 

⚙️ 4. Historically Accurate Cars

The cars shouldn’t just be different skins.

Each car should have its own:

  • Engine sound
  • Engine characteristics
  • Aerodynamics
  • Weight
  • Braking behaviour
  • Tyres
  • Gearbox
  • Downforce
  • Acceleration
  • Handling
  • Reliability

Driving a 1988 McLaren MP4/4 should feel completely different from driving a 2004 Ferrari F2004 or a 2021 Mercedes W11.

 

🎮 5. Two Performance Options

Historical Performance

Cars perform as realistically as possible according to their actual era.

Equal Performance

All cars are balanced so that the player can focus on the driver’s ability rather than technological differences.

This would allow players to answer:

Who is the greatest driver of all time?

 

🔀 6. “What If?” Mode

A special mode could allow players to rewrite F1 history.

For example:

  • What if Senna had continued racing after 1994?
  • What if Schumacher had driven for McLaren?
  • What if Alonso had driven the Ferrari F2004?
  • What if Hamilton had driven the McLaren MP4/4?
  • What if Vettel and Schumacher had raced in the same era?

Players could create completely fictional championships using real historical drivers and cars.

 

🏛️ 7. F1 Legends Museum

The game could also include an interactive museum.

Selecting a car such as the Ferrari F2004 could display:

  • Driver
  • Team
  • Season
  • Engine
  • Technical specifications
  • Wins
  • Pole positions
  • Championships
  • Historical photographs
  • Historical information

This would make the game not only entertaining but also a way for younger fans to learn about Formula 1 history.

 

🌍 8. Multiplayer Legends Championships

Players could race online using legendary drivers and cars.

For example:

Player 1: Senna — MP4/4
Player 2: Schumacher — F2004
Player 3: Hamilton — W11
Player 4: Vettel — RB9

Players could even create an entire online championship using legendary drivers.

 

📚 9. Different F1 Eras

The mode could be divided into historical eras:

1950s–1970s
Fangio, Moss, Clark, Stewart…

1980s
Senna, Prost, Mansell, Piquet…

1990s
Schumacher, Häkkinen, Hill, Villeneuve…

2000s
Schumacher, Alonso, Räikkönen, Montoya, Button…

2010s
Vettel, Hamilton, Alonso, Rosberg…

Modern Era
Hamilton, Verstappen, Leclerc, Norris…

This could eventually become the largest playable collection of F1 history ever created.

 

💡 Why I think this would be special

Classic cars are already a great feature, but I believe fans would love to see them taken much further.

Instead of simply:

“Here are some classic cars.”

it could become:

“Here is the history of Formula 1. Now you can race it.”

Imagine being able to start a championship as Ayrton Senna in the MP4/4, then race against Schumacher in the F2004, Alonso in the R25, Vettel in the RB9 and Hamilton in the W11.

That would give players an experience that no current F1 game fully provides.

F1 LEGENDS

Rewrite History. Race the Legends.

I believe this could become one of the most exciting features ever introduced to the F1 game series.

Thank you for considering the idea, and I hope the development team sees it!
