P.S. All we can give you are only speculations and our wishes, because info about the new cars are never known in advance. Code Masters brought a lot of the Classic Cars to its console game... they likely tied up the licensing, with a few rare exceptions.

Also, on Autosports YouTube channel they were discussing what they would like to see in the F1 game, and they pointed out that many of the old teams are likely defunct and it would be difficult determining who owns the licenses these days. If, for example, a team went bankrupt, the licensing could end up being owned by a creditor that doesn't even realize they own it as it was transferred in a court document.

It may also be unclear as to who owns the rights as they may not have been explicitly sold. Does Eddie Jordan own the rights to Jordan F1 cars? Did those rights get sold to Midland and then to Spyker and then to Force India and now to Racing Point? Mercedes today is actually the old Honda team... Messy.
