VIDEO: More features of F1 2019 video game confirmed... including Senna v Prost

Codemasters have confirmed that a 'Legends Edition' of F1 2019 will allow gamers to relive the Ayrton Senna – Alain Prost rivalry from 1990, with both the McLaren MP4/5B and Ferrari F1-90 set to be made playable on the new video game, set for release this summer.

The special edition version of the game will be released three days earlier than the standard version on June 25, and given the extras it seems it has to be the one to get!

"Fans can see from the new cover art design that F1 2019 has a strong theme of rivalry running through it, just like the main sport itself," said Codemasters' F1 director Paul Jeal.

"As such, we are absolutely delighted to have resurrected F1's greatest ever rivalry between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost.

"Their rivalry began right back in the 1984 season and reached one of the most dramatic ever climaxes on the first lap of the Japanese Grand Prix during the 1990 season.

"It's a rivalry which has transcended way beyond the sport and is regarded as the greatest of all time by F1 fans. We know our community will love that the two legends of the sport have finally been immortalised together in our game."

Codemasters also confirmed a string of other features, including the cover art for the standard game. Lewis Hamilton stars alongside a host of drivers, depending on your territory, aside from France, where Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly render the world champion redundant.

It is also confirmed that gamers will be able to give the Formula 2 championship a go on the new game.
