F1 2020 Version 1.13 Update Released

A wide range of bugs have been squashed with the F1 2020 Version 1.13 update released by Codemasters, covering Career, Multiplayer, and My Team modes.

Some new features have also been introduced, including allowing you to choose your commentary language. Penalties now show on your HUD, and the customisable car now has 11 sponsor slots.

It follows the last update at the end of October 2020, which brought new livery updates and a big balance of power change for Racing Point and all the teams using Ferrari engines.
