EA Sports and Codemasters have just announced an immediate update to F1 2021 across PC, PlayStation and Xbox, adding the 2021 F2 season plus several bug fixes and improvements.
Fresh off the back of their recent Jeddah Corniche Circuit update, the latest release brings all the FIA Formula 2 Championship’s drivers, teams and liveries to the game, as well as the new for 2021 qualifying and race system.
Players mimicking the 2021 season use qualifying to determine their grid positions for the Feature race, with the top 10 reversed to fix the grid for the first Sprint race.
The top finishers of the first race are then reversed to provide the grid for the second Sprint race. The F2 2020 season retains its own format in-game, with a single Sprint and Feature race.
The update is available now, so you can try to emulate last season’s F2 champion, Mick Schumacher, ahead of the Abu Dhabi finale this weekend.

- F2™ 2021 season has been added
- Addressed an issue with a lack of force feedback on Logitech G923 wheels for PC players
