Formula One 2002 is a racing video game developed by Studio Liverpool and published by Sony Computer Entertainment exclusively for PlayStation 2. It is a sequel to the 2001 video game Formula One 2001 and was based on the 2002 Formula One World Championship.
The first issues of this game came with a DVD of the 2001 Formula One World Championship that was not commercially released which featured multi-angles and footage from the defunct F1 Digital, a pay-per-view service which allowed the purchaser access to multiple camera shots, sessions and a choice to follow cars as the sessions progressed.

Transcription
Gameplay
The game features all the drivers and tracks from the 2002 Formula One World Championship, but does not represent the replacement driver that featured in the real 2002 Formula One World Championship, therefore Anthony Davidson is not featured. Although the Arrows team collapsed after the 2002 German Grand Prix in the real 2002 Formula One World Championship, players and AI can still drive Arrows cars in later Grands Prix in the game.
This marked the first ever Formula One game to feature the Launch Control and Traction Control despite the system being introduced prior to the 2001 Spanish Grand Prix.
