Shifters and grip. Genuine F1-style push-pull shifters in scratched brushed metal, a reinforced brushed metal faceplate and a textured rubber rim and grips.
Size. 31.5 × 22.5 × 13.5 cm, 1,295 g.
Compatibility. It fits all Thrustmaster T-Series bases, such as the T300, TX, T-GT II, TS-XW and TS-PC Racer. On the T818 it uses the Quick Release Adapter, and the T598 supports Thrustmaster add-ons, some with an adapter. There is no display; for a modern F1 wheel with a screen, see the SF1000.
Features & highlights
Driving style
The Ferrari F1 Wheel Add-On suits Formula and open-wheel racing in the F1 games, iRacing, rFactor 2 and Assetto Corsa on a Thrustmaster base. Its push-pull shifters and rotary knobs give quick access to settings, and its light weight helps force feedback detail, according to Thrustmaster's pro racers.
Best for drivers who want an affordable licensed F1-style wheel on a T-Series base; less suited for those who want a screen and shift lights, or for rally and drift.
Build quality
It combines a reinforced brushed metal faceplate and metal push-pull shifters with a textured rubber rim and plastic button housing, at 1,295 g. It is an older design than the carbon fiber SF1000 and SF-25 wheels.
Software
No separate app is needed: the wheel is configured through the base's Thrustmaster drivers on Windows, where Advanced mode unlocks 25 buttons. On PlayStation and Xbox it works plug-and-play in Normal mode through a compatible Thrustmaster base.
