F1 2021 Patch 1.16 Released

Last updated on March 1st, 2022 at 02:04 pm

A selection of issues have been fixed with F1 2021 Patch 1.16 released by Codemasters, including issues with joining online qualifying and league sessions, ghosting in a two-player career, and collissions under the Safety Car.

Console users should no longer see the game crash if they’re trying to back out and re-enter an Official F1 2021 Championship. Another situation previously triggering a crash would be if you selected a salary with your current team, after cancelling negotiations with them in the past.

And you can now disable ghosting in the two-player career mode, allowing you to collide with your friends as much as you like.
