F1 2021, the latest entry in the yearly released Formula One games, has received a small update. Patch 1.17 went live yesterday, and it brought some important tweaks for online mode and general bug fixes.
The patch makes sure that the fastest lap point won’t be removed anymore after editing results in Leagues. The bug where players can’t start a race if they joined during the grace period has been addressed as well. Completing Grid penalties even at different times will successfully carry over to Leagues.
Players can now add Red Bull White livery to the Player Car. AI behavior has been improved, and some minor fixes have been made.
