Alongside F1® 22's recent 1.15 patch, all ten F1® teams have had significant face-lifts to bring them closer to their real-life counterparts. This is known as the Sport Liveries Update and is available now for all F1® 22 players.
Throughout the season, F1® teams make refinements to their team colours, branding, attire, and more. However, the most important changes are those made to the cars themselves.
As teams across the grid look to eke out those fractions of a second over their rivals, F1® car designs evolve throughout the season. What might look like small aesthetic changes to an untrained eye can be the result of thousands of hours of research, potentially being the difference between a point's finish and a spot on the podium.
With the Sport Liveries update released to F1® 22, changes to vehicle geometry, bodywork, sponsors, and colours have been made, as well as updates to team attires, hospitality spaces, and garage looks throughout the F1® grid. This will bring them closer to their real-life counterparts for enhanced visual realism.
Here’s a breakdown of some of the changes made to each of the teams in the most detailed Sport Liveries Update we’ve made to-date:
Oracle Red Bull Racing
Sidepod, top canopy, shark fin, side vents, and front floor strakes have been changed. Sponsor logos have also been updated, most notably the addition of Honda to the engine cover, introduced during this year's Japanese Grand Prix. Additionally, the colour of the RB18 has been refined to better suit its real-life counterpart in-game.
Scuderia Ferrari
Tweaks to the rear wing, wing mirrors, front brake duct, DRS housing, and slight sidepod changes on the rear end have all been made.
Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team
The front wing and front wing end plates, floor sides, floor front strakes, DRS housing, and the sidepod shape have been updated.
BWT Alpine F1 Team
Changes to the sidepods, sidepods/top canopy vents, top canopy and shark fin, floor front strake, and the rear wing lower planes have been made. There have also been changes to the livery pattern, most notably the increase in exposed carbon fibre at the top of the sidepods, between the BWT pink section and the Alpine blue section of the car.
McLaren F1 Team
Floor sides and front strakes, sidepods, and side vents have been changed on top of more carbon being revealed and changes to vehicle sponsors. This includes the change from Android to Chrome on the engine cover and the rear wing DRS flap changing from blue to black. Additional sponsor logos have been added to the front wing, rear wing and headrests.
Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN
Sidepod vents, front wing end plates, the DRS mechanism, and sidepod shape on the rear have all been updated.
Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team
Sidepod, top canopy, wing mirror, rear wing main plane, and floor front strakes have been changed. The AMR22 also now features a unique-looking "end plate" on each side of the rear wing, introduced during this year's Hungarian Grand Prix and run at higher downforce tracks like Zandvoort. The livery pattern has also been adjusted, exposing more carbon fibre on the halo and engine cover.
Haas F1 Team
Floor sides, front floor strakes, sidepod vents, rear sidepod shape, and front wing end plates have been changed. The most notable change on the livery is the addition of HaasTooling.com on the front wing end plates and the engine cover.
Scuderia AlphaTauri
Sidepods, sidepod vents, rear wing lower planes, rear wing main plane, DRS shape, and front wing colour changes have been made, as well as more carbon revealed on the body. The livery is now much darker than the launch version, with the front and rear wings now taking on a carbon/navy look compared to the white versions used previously. Notable sponsor updates include Ziba Foods on the nose and front wing end plates, and Buzz surrounding the headrests.
Williams Racing
Sidepods, top canopy, side vents, front floor strakes, floor sides, rear wing main plane, and a slightly different livery with more carbon being revealed have been implemented. In addition to the sidepod updates, Virtua's logos have been updated to reflect the change in their design mid-season.
We hope that you enjoy these updates to each of the teams across the grid and beyond.
