EA Sports will be releasing F1 25 update 1.07 on Monday, July 21 just ahead of Season 2, which kicks off on July 23. The team has released the patch notes early, outlining the updates and fixes players can expect.
One of the key changes is a tweak to how R&D upgrades work in Career modes. The cost has been raised across the board, not just for the player but also for the AI, which should slow down how quickly teams progress over the course of a season. Regulation changes have also been adjusted to impact more areas and potentially kick in later, making it tougher for teams to fully adapt before the next season rolls around. Both updates were made in response to community feedback about teams maxing out too quickly. The goal here is to keep Career modes feeling more balanced and rewarding over the long haul. These changes will apply whether you’re continuing a save or starting a new one.
Players using the “Reduced” setting for career resource and cash rates will now notice those rates dip even further. Track physics have also seen a small update, with a bump smoothed out on the apex of the last turn in Spain. Pit Release has been improved when Pit Assist is off, helping cut down on unnecessary delays after a stop. For those diving into Braking Point or F1: The Movie modes, a fix is in place to stop certain chapters from failing if Pit Assist is turned off. Check out the rest of the patch notes below.
