F1 2021: Braking Point guide — Story mode and race objectives

2021 season

This time around, you’re playing as Aiden Jackson’s veteran teammate, Casper Akkerman. There are a few incidents and a bit of drama, sure, but will we ever see the matter resolved between these two partners?

Race: Australia

• Length: Start at lap 10/15.
• Objectives: There’s a problem with your gears and a faulty mechanism really messes with your top speed. Still, you have to complete the race as best as you can.

Race: Bahrain

• Length: Start at lap 9/14.
• Objectives: A cutscene shows that Akkerman was planning to go to pit due to an issue. However, the team wanted Jackson to go in first. Akkerman heads to the pit stop and waits. Now, you’ve got to regain your lost positions and finish in 8th place or higher.

Race: Netherlands

• Length: 18 laps (full race).
• Objectives: Podium finish (1st to 3rd place).

Race: Canada

• Length: Start at lap 14/18.
• Objectives: Do not let Jackson pass. Akkerman’s at 8th place and Jackson is right behind him. You’ll need to finish the race while staying ahead of your teammate.

Race: Austria

• Length: Start at lap 8/18.
• Objectives: You have to follow the back of the safety car queue. Later, you’ll need to finish in the points (10th place or better).

Race: Belgium

• Length: 11 laps (full race).
• Objectives: You’ll need to finish in the top 5. However, the weather can be a bit tricky. It starts out as a drizzle, then it turns into a downpour. It’s up to you to decide when you can change to wet tires. Just remember that some drivers might make two pit stops, giving you more time to pull ahead.

Race: Russia

• Length: Start at lap 9/13.
• Objectives: You’ll need to set the fastest lap of the race and finish in the top 10.

Race: Japan

• Length: Start at lap 6/13.
• Objectives: You’ll have to place higher than Devon Butler (the annoying runt) and his teammate.

Race: United States

• Length: Start at lap 7/14.
• Objectives: Make sure you beat Butler.

Race: Abu Dhabi

• Length: Start at lap 4/14.
• Objectives: As Akkerman, you’ll have to overtake Butler before lap 9. Once you do this, Akkerman and Butler will soon be out of the race. Control then shifts to Aiden Jackson who has to get a podium finish (1st to 3rd place). As such, the sooner you trigger the cutscene, the better. This will give Jackson more time to catch up to the other drivers.
