F1 25: controller and wheel controls guide
Configure inputs around consistency, ERS access and in-race adjustments.
Overview
The 2026 cars make quick access to ERS, brake bias and MFD functions more valuable. Controls should therefore prioritise actions you need during a lap without forcing awkward hand movement.
How it works
EA specifically recommends setting ERS activation to Hold for precise boost control. Supported wheels may load presets for bindings and force feedback automatically.
Practical tips and limits
Build a control scheme you can operate without looking away from the track. Test changes in Time Trial before entering online races.
