F2 2021 will drop alongside the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix circuit at Jeddah. Image credit: Codemasters / EAĪnother confirmation from Codemasters was that, the updated F2 season content will be added in November. Another addition from today is the Aston Martin safety car.

However, the 2021 season saw the arrival of a new agreement which split safety car duties between Mercedes and Aston Martin. Up until now, the safety car duties have been carried out by the Mercedes AMG GT-R, in real life and in game. Players can also expect from today that the Aston Martin Vantage safety car will appear in races. On top of this, they also revealed that the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari at Imola will be made available in October, before the addition of Jeddah in November. In an announcement video on Monday, 13 September, Codemasters confirmed that Portimão would be available that same day. Instead, it was promised that all three would be made available later on down the line as free downloadable content. However, for both these tracks and the new Jeddah circuit in Saudi Arabia, Codemasters could not create the circuits made in time for the game’s initial release. When the Vietnam and Chinese Grands Prix dropped off the calendar, both Portimão and the iconic Imola circuit – which both hosted races in the compromised 2020 season – each became popular additions to the 2021 season. “F1 2021 is one of the broadest depictions of the sport ever created, building on familiar cars and handling alongside returning multiplayer, esports, and My Team career modes, while the new Braking Point story gives you a taste of the teammate drama you loved to watch (and mock) in Netflix’s Drive to Survive.Codemasters have announced that the Portimão circuit will arrive in F1 2021 today, as well as revealing a roadmap for future updates.Īfter a long couple of months since its July launch, F1 2021 developers Codemasters have finally told us when the new additions to the F1 calendar will be added to the game, with the Portimão circuit in Portugal being made available today.

#F1 2021 UPDATE DRIVERS#
There’s no rumblings of discontent through the F1 paddock at the moment, but you can expect several drivers to make important political statements while attending the event – Lewis Hamilton and Sebastien Vettel both spoke out about anti-LGBTQ+ laws during the Hungarian GP this summer. While it’s always exciting to see the sport head to new locations or return to old ones, there is certainly controversy to the decision to hold the race in Saudi Arabia, with many of the points about the country’s history of human rights abuses echoed during the recent Saudi takeover of Premier League football club Newcastle United.
