Overall, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Team Racing is a fun arcade-style take on Formula 1 that junks the po-faced realism of most F1 games in favour of racing thrills.

It would be nice to have more tracks and a proper season mode, of course, and the long-term value of the game is doubtful once you've conquered the Championship. But the fact that the game leaves you wanting more is proof that like Lewis, this game will confound the expectations of many F1 fans in a good way.

It's a bit rough and ready around the edges, but ultimately Codemasters has come up trumps with a football management sim that works well for mobile play, and gives you the chance to live the dream. If you want gritty realism for your train journey, buy a decent laptop and Football Manager 2007. But if you just want some knockabout fun, LMA Manager 2007 is just the ticket.
