Alongside the Schumacher content, Deluxe players also receive an exclusive set of in-game items celebrating the Seventieth Anniversary of Formula 1.

Codemasters F1 Franchise Game Director Lee Mather said:

“Today is a celebration of all the hard work from the studio, and it’s exciting to get F1 2020 in the hands of our players.

Celebrating Michael’s record-setting seven World Championships in a season where Lewis Hamilton is aiming to match his record is fitting.

Adding his iconic cars is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time, and they will prove incredibly popular.”
