EA and Codemasters have rolled out a brand new patch for their officially-vetted F1 racing sim, suitably dubbed F1 2021 Patch 1.15. As always, we’ve pulled together the F1 2021 1.15 patch notes in their entirety to save you hunting them down on EA’s oft-labyrinthine site.
F1 2021 Patch 1.15 is relatively light compared to previous updates but still has some welcome features. Not least some new content: the possibility of racing with a custom ’11th team’ in Grand Prix mode. Alongside, multiplayer now has connection warning icons, advising whether you and/or other drivers are struggling with connectivity issues.
F1 2021 Patch 1.15 also throws in AI tweaks on several tracks and corners, including the Red Bull Ring and Spa-Francorchamps. The patch is also stacked with a good chunk of general fixes, including a garage stuck bug and Force Feedback drop when using Quick Resume on console.
More on that and further details can be found below in the complete F1 2021 1.15 patch notes.
