This blog is a safe space for Devon Butler fans, you can rest here and be assured that he is indeed the best part of the entire game.

Look at that cheeky smile, what's there not to love about him?

Yeah he was an asshole for majority of his existence, but he did it with style, he reminds me a lot of Lighting McQueen at the beggining of Cars 1, even when he is a cocky cunt, you can't help but love him you know, he does it with style, he looks cool while he does it. He certainly aint Mr. goody-two-shoes Aiden Jackson, and he clearly isn't Ms. Boss-bitch Callie Mayer, and that's why Butler is great, he is himself

And then the game happens, and he has this pretty great redemption arc where he comes back as a changed man, he really understood what Teamwork and Collaboration means, which is again very similar to McQueen's arc.

I finished playing the story mode as soon as I could haha. I actually couldn't stand up till I finished it because it was so good!

So my full opinion:

• Story: Codemasters really impressed me this year. And interesting and chaotic story that can make you feel anger, sadness, happiness. If you showed it to someone I bet they couldn't tell it's their first story! I loved every single moment especially the tense parts and the realization part! Although I'm a bit disappointed with the ending. Yeah, Aiden gets an email from Toto/Horner/Binotto, but that's it? I would have loved to see Butler's reaction to losing or to Aiden getting the seat. This made me feel like the story is a bit incomplete, but it was still great! (I bought the Breaking Point pack as well, so I just made Aiden my driver besides Robert Shwartzman in the My Team Career, haha).

• Characters:

- Aiden Jackson: I loved him, you can see that this kid is a great guy! He's only 19 in the story, but he already showed great talents! He takes blame for his action (although its was just a misunderstanding) showing he has a good soul! He also lacks confidence because he immediately believes Butler and the "paddock". All in all, I love how Codemasters made his character, he's a charming and lovely guy who'll become great in the future of F1!

- Casper Akkerman: He's the character that I think is the most real. His struggles can easily represent many people. He's getting a bit old for the sport and youngsters are coming to replace him, so he tries to show that he still has a place there. He's not a bad person, but he's blinded by the fact that he thinks that Aiden is paid more. Near the end you can see that he cares about Aiden and knows that he needs support because he's a kid. I absolutely loved how he became a mentor figure for Aiden!

- Zoe Akkerman: I loved her character as well, perfectly shows an energetic and caring wife! Her relationship with Casper is a perfect representation of a healthy and supportive relationship!

- Devon Butler: Oh boy, oh boy! He's the perfect villain! His voice and his looks are exactly perfect for such a self-centered man like him. What a sore loser he is! Although he's smart too! A cunning man who's ready to ruin others' career for his own benefit!

As for Brian, he perfectly represents a team boss who cares about his drivers, but still focuses on the fact that they need to score points and is not afraid to chew out the racers.

Besides these, I can praise the graphics, which were really good! I also love that they didn't completely abandoned Lukas Weber, just made him a background character.

All in all, 10/10! I really enjoyed the whole thing and I can't wait to see what they come up with next year!
