While F1 2016 didn't make it to Linux, Feral Interactive just announced F1 2017 will be coming to Linux and it's arriving next week...

Thanks Feral! Something my kids will certainly enjoy ;-) I am gonna buy it from your store!

Splendid! I will definitely purchase this one.

Man, looks completely photorealistic in some shots, my brain was wondering if they spliced in live action footage. I'll have to give this one a try, I miss playing racing games.

I truly like how they don't announce ports far in advance of availability.

Really liked F1 2015, great for mp

I didn't want to buy F1 2015 because F1 2016 was already going to be released back then. When I heard of F1 2016 not coming to Linux I decided to buy F1 2015 instead.

This time the delay is not that long but it's still an issue for me when a game that's only in its current version for one year arrives on Linux with a delay of several months.

I am very happy that Feral does this job, that's for sure! I appreciate all efforts a lot. I just want to tell what I think about this unpleasant delay. The original programmers should enable Feral to start porting the game before it's released, so it arrives about the same time on all platforms. At least for games that arrive every year in a new shape.

I wonder if Feral gets to choose or they just get hired. A niche game in a tiny market will make no money.
