Anthoine Hubert will also be present in the new edition of the official Formula 1 game. In 'My team' mode you can choose the Frenchman. The driver died in September last year on the circuit of Spa, during a Formula 2 race.
Players of the game will also have the opportunity to choose Athoine Hubert as their driver. As soon as you choose the Frenchman you will be shown in special notification. It is a small tribute to Hubert according to Formula 1 game director Lee Mather: "As soon as you look at Anthoine Hubert when selecting drivers there will be a small notification, as a tribute".
Consultation with family
The choice to add the deceased driver was not made just like that. The creators of the game contacted Hubert's family and jointly decided to do so. "We took this choice very seriously and it wasn't easy. We asked all involved parties of the driver if this was allowed, and they all agreed".
The game was released in June last year, so chances are you'll be able to buy the new game in a month's time.
