F1 2021 Patch 1.10 Adds Portimao And More

The free F1 2021 Patch 1.10 adds Portimao and more, including the Aston Martin safety car now appearing at the circuits where it will be used during the real Formula One season.

Portimao, formerly named the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve is the main highlight of the update, having hosted the 2021 Portuguese Grand Prix in May after returning to the calendar for the first time since 1996 as a late addition in 2020. Lewis Hamilton has taken victory in both GPs since the circuit has returned to the F1 calendar.

It’s one of three circuits which were promised as free post-launch updates by Codemasters, along with Imola and Jeddah, and features some challenging elevation changes and off-camber corners which are ready to catch you out.

The free F1 2021 Patch 1.10 also includes the new green Aston Martin Vantage safety car. It’s being used as an alternate to the red Medcedes AMG as F1 uses two safety cars for the first time, so it will appear at the following circuits:

• Bahrain
• Monaco
• Canada
• France
• Great Britain
• Netherlands
• Singapore
• Russia
• Japan
• Australia
• Saudi Arabia (when added in game)
• Abu Dhabi

The patch also adjusts the performance of the F1 2021 field to match the real world season so far, and all Time Trial leaderboards have been reset due to the change. A number of fixes and improvements are also included for issues ranging from game crashes triggered by watching highlights or replays on Xbox Series conoles, to races ending after the first lap in two-player Career mode.
