F1 2010 to get formal reveal on March 17

Codemasters has confirmed the reveal of F1 2010 will be taking place next month.

Speaking to SRW, the publisher said the next-gen edition in the series for PS3, 360 and PC will be revealed to press on March 17, three days after the start of the real F1 season in Bahrain.

Codies released a PSP and Wii version, F1 2009, late last year. It's the first next-gen F1 game, however, since the company took over the F1 licence from Sony a couple of years ago.

The last F1 title then was F1: Championship Edition for PlayStation 3 at the launch of the console back in March 2007.
