Codemasters and EA Sports have released the latest update for F1 25.
Patch 1.07 brought a boatload of fixes as well as content for Season 2. Among the new content that will be unlocked starting on July 23 is an event focusing on Lewis Hamilton's race in China earlier this season, where he was able to secure his own and Ferrari's first-ever Sprint win -- and with plank wear not being a major issue in the game, players should be able to avoid the bitter race disqualification that followed this success.
Season 2 will also bring back Elimination Mode for a limited time. This game mode offers quick races and lots of rewards for completing them.
In regards to gameplay changes, the update slows the rate at which teams progress through the tech tree in Career Mode by increasing the R&D costs for everyone -- players and AI. There will be less predictability with regulation changes as well, making it more challenging to adapt to any new rules in time. The developers hope that this will keep careers fresh and exciting for longer periods.
Important fixes for Splitscreen Mode have been implemented as well, making local multiplayer a more enjoyable affair.
Here are the full F1 25 update 1.07 patch notes:
Increased the cost of R&D Upgrades for the player and AI, to slow the speed of team progression in Career modes.
