All twelve teams and twenty four drivers that will start the 2011 season will feature in the game, though mid season driver changes will not take place due to licencing restrictions. The entire calendar of nineteen circuits from the 2011 season will present, including the new Buddh International Circuit in India. Certain circuits will also feature day to night transitions.

At E3, Codemasters announced that the focus of F1 2011 is to Be the Driver, Live the Life, Go Compete.[citation needed] and that multiplayer aspects of the game are being emphasised as a part of this. Online multiplayer will have a maximum of sixteen players in a race with the option to include an additional eight AI controlled cars. Objectives will also be included in multiplayer. A split screen multiplayer mode has been confirmed, as has an online co operative championship.

In August 2011, Codemasters announced that the safety car will be implemented in the game following its absence in F1 2010, and that it will be available in races that are 20 of real race distance or longer. Red flags will also be included for situations where the safety car cannot get around the track, but not for extreme weather conditions. Rule changes for the 2011 season, including KERS, DRS and Pirelli tyres are also featured in the game.
