Hey everyone,
The next update for F1 Manager 2022 is rolling out now on Steam. Below are the full patch notes for this update.
Additionally, we can confirm our team continues to make progress with addressing both the effect of DRS in races and unlapping behind the Safety Car, and are targeting to deliver an update that addresses these topics before the end of the year.
