Reception
IGN gave the Dreamcast version a 7.1 out of 10 overall praising the presentation of the game but criticised the graphics. N64 Magazine called it too similar to the previous game, giving it 72%.
Sequel
A successor, F-1 World Grand Prix III, was in development and would have been based on the 1999 or 2000 season, but was never released.
A spinoff, F1 World Grand Prix 2000, developed by Eutechnyx, was released on March 8, 2001 for the PlayStation and PC.
