Update 1.6 Rolling Out Now for F1 Manager 2022 - Patch Notes

Update 1.6 for F1 Manager 2022 is rolling out now on Steam!

Update 1.6 addresses a number of reported issues since launch, but we are aware of other common reports from players, on subjects including tyre performance, which our team are currently investigating. Work is ongoing on an additional post-launch update, to be released in the coming weeks, that aims to further address more of the hot topic reports and feedback from the F1 Manager 2022 community. Thank you!
