EA F1 25 Season 2 Release Date, Gameplay, Trailer
The post EA F1 25 Season 2 Release Date, Gameplay, Trailer appeared first on ClutchPoints. The EA Sports F1 25 Season 2 Release Date arrives this week bringing new challenges and rewards for players on the virtual grid. Just one of many seasons, F1 25 Season 2 brings new moments, a Driver Ratings Update, and even a free reward for those who log on during a certain time frame. Without further ado, let's take a look at the EA Sports F1 25 Season 2 Release Date. EA Sports F1 25 Season 2 Release Date – July 23rd, 2025 The EA Sports F1 25 Season 2 Release Date is Wednesday, July 23rd, 2025 and will end on September 16th, 2025.

Firstly, Season 2 of F1 25 brings new Sprint Moments based on the following racers and circuits: Lewis Hamilton's first win with Ferrari at the Chinese Grand Prix Kimi Antonelli's Pole Effort at the Miami Grand Prix Hamilton joined Ferrari this year, but things haven't been hot for the team or the seven-time world champion. While he did earn 1st place in the Chinese Grand Prix, Hamilton (and Leclerc) were actually both disqualified from the race. At the very least, you can re-live that moment yourself when it drops this season. The other moment includes Kimi Antonelli's performance at Miami earlier this year. Antonelli started the year off strong, though he's struggled in recent weeks. With the exception of a third-place ranking at Canada, he's either retired or didn't finish in the top 10 in five of his last six races. But at least in Season 2 you can re-live one of his brightest moments in the season. Secondly, players who log on the game between July 30th – September 16th should check their in-game mail. You'll receive a McLaren x Google Chrome Livery (British GP 2025). You can then equip it by selecting McLaren in the team select screen. Furthermore, Season 2 (and every other season) will begin with a new set of Driver Rating Updates. Based on driver performance, each driver's rating received some level of adjustment. Therefore make sure to check out the Ratings Page see the newest differences. Additionally, Season 2 of F1 25 brings back Elimination Mode for a limited time.

Best wheels for F1 25 – top budget and premium wheels and wheelbases
Looking at a new wheel or wheelbase specifically for F1 25? Here's a few options to consider, from best Xbox, PS5 options to premium and budget. If you're looking for a new wheel or wheelbase, specifically for F1 25 or formula racing, here are some options to consider. With the 2025 Formula 1 season now at the halfway stage, and with F1 25 being well-received by players and critics alike since its release earlier this year, there's no better time to get on track in the virtual world. But, you're going to need a decent sim racing setup, which includes a wheel and a direct drive wheelbase, if you're at a decent level. That's why we're rounding up the best wheels for F1 25, including everything from the best Xbox and PS5 options to premium and budget options. We've covered an awful lot of options below. Happy shopping! Best Xbox wheelbase for F1 25 Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel Thankfully, compatibility with Xbox is becoming much more common these days when it comes to sim racing equipment, and the best I've tested to date is the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel. Priced at £999 / $999 / AU$1,799.95, it includes a wheelbase with 11Nm of torque, plus a wheel, and it's also compatible with PC! In my Logitech G Pro review, I remarked that it's a "strong proposition, offering superb performance and excellent build quality", and I stand by that! It's not cheap, but it's the best option for Xbox players right now. Best PS5 wheelbase for F1 25 Fanatec ClubSport DD+ PlayStation compatibility is getting better, but options are still few and far between in the sim racing hardware space. Thankfully, though, Fanatec's biggest and best wheelbase, the Fanatec ClubSport DD+, is compatible with PS5, PS4, and PC. It boasts 15Nm of torque, making it one of the more powerful wheelbases on the market. It is a superb piece of kit, and in my Fanatec ClubSport DD+ review, I said that it is a "stunning premium option for hardcore sim racers who want a dedicated F1-style setup." It's not for beginners; it's for experienced sim racers who want to get the most out of their sim racing and chase realism and performance, regardless of price, as it will set you back €999.95, which roughly converts to £865 / $1168 / AU$1776. Fanatec ClubSport DD+ - €999.95, roughly converts to £865 / $1168 / AU$1776 Best budget wheelbase for F1 25 Moza R9 Moza's entire product line is incredibly price-competitive, but the Moza R9 wheelbase is probably the best budget wheelbase on the entire market. Priced at just £319, or £359 for the V3 version, it delivers 9Nm of torque and is crafted with aviation-grade aluminium alloy. With the V3 version, you also get support for iRacing's 360Hz mode and a 21-bit magnetic encoder with a 2.09 million resolution. In my Moza R9 review, I said it delivered "big performance in a small package, and at a bargain price," and that just about sums it up. It's a truly excellent deal, considering the performance on offer. Best premium wheelbase for F1 25 Simagic Alpha Ultimate If you want the very best performance, the Simagic Alpha Ultimate is a truly premium wheelbase, delivering a huge 23Nm of torque. Now, you might think this thing would cost the earth but, at a comparatively impressive price of just $899, which roughly converts to £665, it's one of the best deals in sim racing hardware right now. Simagic Alpha Ultimate - $899 (roughly converts to £665 / AU$1,367) Best budget wheel for F1 25 Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel F1 Esports V2 Formula-style wheels are often some of the most premium sim racing wheels you can buy, sometimes costing well over £1000 (as you'll read about further on down). However, the Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel F1 Esports V2 is a genuine steal at just £210 (rough conversion from $239.95 / $269.99 / AU$429.90). Okay, it doesn't have any fancy features, like a big LCD screen, but considering the build quality and the fact that it's an officially licensed F1 and F1 Esports product, it's the best budget F1 25 wheel in my book, and with few compromises. Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel F1 Esports V2 - £210 (rough conversion from $239.95 / $269.99 / AU$429.90 Best premium wheel for F1 25 Asetek Invicta Formula If you have money to burn and you want the very best sim racing wheel possible for F1 25, then I'd have to direct you towards the Asetek Invicta Formula, a custom, hand-built formula-style wheel that you can customise to your liking before buying. There are 144 individual input options, a 4.3" LCD, 60Hz display, exchangeable handles, and it is made from forged and woven carbon. It's truly a work of art, but one that you can use to go sim racing. The price? Before any customisation, you're looking at €1,249.99, which roughly converts to £1,082 / $1,461. But if you want the best, that's the price to pay. So, there you have it, those are some of the best options for F1 25 when it comes to wheelbase and wheels. See you out on track.

Moza FSR2 Formula Wheel review – impressive performance and build quality
The Moza FSR2 Formula Wheel features exceptional build quality and loads of buttons, but the lack of SimHub support is a shame. If you're looking for a formula-style racing wheel for your sim setup, you'll want to know about the Moza FSR2 Formula Wheel. It's fair to say that Moza is now a major player in the sim racing space, with a range of wheelbases, pedals, and wheels for pretty much every style of racing. But today, we're talking specifically about formula wheels, with the FSR2 Formula Wheel aimed at sim racers who play games like F1 25 and open-cockpit racing on games like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and Automobilista 2. The wheel is priced at £649 in the UK and $649 in the US, which is around £300 more than Moza's GT style wheel, the GS V2P GT, as well as the Thrustmaster Ferrari SF1000 wheel add-on. But, in terms of premium, formula style wheel options, Moza's latest is actually pretty reasonable considering the feature set, with wheels from brands like Ascher Racing, Cube Controls, Gomez Sim, and Asetek are around or above the £1000 mark. Now obviously, £650 is still an awful lot of money, of course, but in the world of sim racing, it's pretty reasonable. So, about that feature set, let's take a look at what the wheel offers. Moza FSR2 Formula Wheel design and features The Moza FSR2 Formula Wheel is 280mm in size, perfect for formula racing, with the 4.3-inch touchscreen display smack bang in the middle of the wheel, which is 480p and 60Hz refresh rate too. What shows on this screen can be customised infinitely through Moza Pit House, but more on that later. The faceplate is made from 5 mm-thick twill carbon fibre, with the backplate made of 3 mm-thick Aerospace-grade aluminium alloy. You also get perforated microfiber leather grips on the side, and the paddles themselves, which use magnetic hall sensors, are also made from carbon fibre. In terms of LEDs, you get 10 LED top-mounted shift indicator lights, as well as 6 LED side-mounted signal lights, which can all be customised, so you can have different colours or patterns for RPM as well as different coloured lights in these areas for things like Red flags and safety cars, etc. In terms of buttons, there are ten short-travel buttons, all of which have a backlight, with three in the top left, three in the top right, two on either side of the screen and two at the bottom near the dials. You also get stickers in the box that allow you to customise these buttons to match your button mapping, which is nice. Speaking of dials, you get five rotary encoders, with each having 12 steps of travel. In my experience, these have been handy for slight tweaks and adjustments like ERS adjustment or differential increases, but you can obviously tailor them to how you want! You also get two thumb encoders too, here and here, which work in a similar way, but I find it slightly easier to use these with my thumbs as I'm driving, so I find it particularly useful for brake bias changes and quick differential changes. You get two of these nipple style sticks here, which also work as 7-step switches. On the back, you get 6 paddles, with the standard shift paddles, dual clutch paddles and an extra pair of paddles that you can customise and use how you'd like. I've used these as a DRS activation button before, and even ERS, but there are loads of options for these. In terms of installation, you get a quick release mechanism that works really nicely with the whole Moza ecosystem. This wheel can also be used easily with other third-party wheelbases, but you do need to purchase the MOZA hub kit separately, but it is possible! Now, onto the Pit House software and for those with a Moza set up already, you'll know exactly what this is all about, but for those new to the Moza ecosystem, it's the program you use to adjust all the settings, calibration, deadzones, lighting effects and more for all Moza products. Now talking specifically about the Moza FSR2 Formula Wheel, you can do things like adjusting the button mapping, changing the clutch bite point, button brightness and even the LEDs specifically too. Then there's the dashboard, which can be customised too from a set number of default designs if you like, so for my Formula 1 dashboard, I can go in and move the ERS value to the first screen, and you can move elements how you'd like, even adding in track maps etc. It's okay, it's a decent piece of software, but it's not Simlab. As this wheel isn't compatible with Simlab, if that's what you use to make your custom dashboards, you're probably not going to be happy, as you'll have to make another custom one. It's a shame that Moza has locked players into only being able to use this software, particularly as it is happy for you to use their wheels and pedals with third-party options, so that's something to consider if you use Simlabs. Overall, though, this wheel looks the business, doesn't it? But, how does it perform? Moza FSR2 Formula Wheel performance The carbon fibre and aluminium construction, combined with the leather on the grips, gives the wheel a real quality feel that cheaper options just cannot match, and honestly, this might give some of the more expensive options a run for their money. When used in games, the wheel feels superb. I have absolutely zero concerns about its rigidity and stability when driving, even with high force feedback running through the wheel. I used a Moza R12 wheelbase with it, and it handled it with ease. When you're sim racing with a powerful direct drive wheelbase, the last thing you want is to feel worried or concerned about the wheel moving around or making strange noises, or generally feeling cheap or poorly built, but there's no such concern with the FSR2 Formula Wheel. Ergonomically, no concerns either, it's great for racing, even in 100% races, and these lovely leather grips play a bit part in that. In terms of the buttons, switches and rotary encoders, very few complaints, they all work as expected and allow you to change settings quickly when you're driving. READ MORE: Thrustmaster T598 review – excellent entry-level direct drive performance for PC and PlayStation The only letdown of the entire device is the joysticks. And unfortunately, these are probably the buttons you're going to be using the most in-game as you make your way through the menus, change your setup or assists, and honestly, these are a bit too inconsistent for my liking. Particularly when you press them to register a click or advance, they sometimes, without warning, will randomly do a double click, or will move up as you click, taking you into the wrong menu or advancing when you didn't mean to. Considering just how high-quality the rest of the wheel feels, these little joysticks aren't on the same level, unfortunately. The paddles feel great to use, too, and generate a lovely clunking sound, as you'd expect. The screen is also pretty great. It's bright enough, and the touchscreen works as you'd expect, allowing you to switch between different screens on your dashboard quickly and easily. Moza FSR2 Formula Wheel overall thoughts The Moza FSR2 Formula Wheel is a superb option for sim racers who are on the lookout for a formula-style wheel, and despite its high price on paper, when you compare it with the cheaper options out there, this wheel feels significantly better, has better features, better build quality and is much nicer to use. It's not perfect, the joysticks are disappointing, for a wheel at this price point, I'd expect more. And the lack of SimLab support is a pain, despite Moza Pithouse being a decent piece of software to use. Overall, I'd definitely recommend the Moza FSR2 Formula Wheel if it's within your price range. Its impressive build quality rivals that of much more expensive wheels.
