F1 2016 announces multiplayer support for 22 players

So the official video game for the Formula 1 Championship is releasing 19th August for Xbox One, immersing players into the game by replicating the real sporting world like no game ever has done before.
Codemasters have already announced so much for the game (Me and a few other friends personally are hyped for it), like safety & virtual safety car will feature in this years game along with manual race starts to put pressure on the driver from the beginning. Also, (In my opinion the best feature) manual control to park and break in the pit stop in between laps are also included, making pinpoint timing even harder to get, making it a challenge from every point, possibly making the perfect racing game if all goes well.
Lee Mather states:
“Increasing the multiplayer support to 22 players was extremely important to us, We want to be able to fill the whole grid with human players to create those great race moments and stories. It also provides greater support for online leagues.”
With support for 22 drivers across 21 different tracks, it can only mean game on to all that play. Or if your more of a lone wolf go ahead and make yourself a legend in career mode, stretching across 10 seasons.
The final lap is on as it’s only one more month until it’s release
