It's just unfortunate how arsey FOM can be, Personally, i think they shouldn't give the rights for F1 games to a sole games developer. Primarily due to the fact that multiple games will have positives/negatives within the game, looking at the 1990s and early 2000s, u had formula 1 by psygnosis, f1 racing championship by ubisoft, grand prix by geoff crammond and the F1 series by EA. Each game had their pros and cons, and later development of those games made their games better and fan friendly, appealed to the f1 fans properly. Unfortunately with one sole developer then we will be stuck with the problems that codemasters have with their f1 franchise. No disrespect to the developers, the car designs and graphics are awesome, but there can be some room for improvement
