F1 22 Patch 1.16 Released With A Limited Time Event

Along with bug fixes and improvements, we’ve see F1 22 Patch 1.16 released with a limited time event and the McLaren ‘Future Mode’ livery.

It’s available across all platforms, and the new Elimination event is familar from various racing games. You jump straight into a multiplayer lobby and F1 race, with the player in last position being removed until only the winner remains. Which is a bit unfortunate if you get stuck at the back early on with people happy to punt you off the track.

But it’s a change from normal multiplayer racing, and and you also get the McLaren ‘Future Mode’ livery, Tatiana Calderon in for Cem Bolukbasi at Charouz Racing System in F1, and the showroom stats and history for that class. The download is 810.47MB for the PC, and also solves various issues across all versions of the F1 game.
