- 📸 AI | 'Flying lap' in Qualifying can cause AI to bunch together around the track
- ❗Note from Dev: When selecting 'Flying Lap' AI are 'teleported' to the track at the same time as the player car, this can result in bunching from occurring. After thorough investigation, attempting a fix risks a broader detrimental impact to AI behaviour throughout the rest of the game. If you wish to avoid AI bunching during Qualifying, please select 'Drive Out' instead.

- Career | Unable to use liveries purchased from the Podium Pass Store in My Team
- ❗Note from Dev: Liveries sold in the Podium Pass Store that are associated with a Title Sponsor are only available in My Team when you have signed with that particular sponsor. However, these liveries can be freely used in F1 World. This information is displayed on the 'Confirm your purchase' screen in the Store when purchasing a relevant livery.
- Misc. | Some Iconic Edition players yet to receive their F1 TV Pro Codes (US Only)
- ❗Note from Dev: If you're in the US and had not yet received your F1 TV Pro code from your Iconic Edition pre-order, please launch that game and you will be sent the code to your EA account email address. Please keep an eye on your email and spam folder. This code will also be displayed on your EA Account under Profile > Payment and Wallet > Offers and Promotions.
- Misc. | Cars accelerate without throttle input by rapidly shifting through gears
- ❗Note from Dev: After analysis, as there is no advantage to be gained from doing this (i.e. no exploit) this is not determined to be of concern for a 'fix.'
- VR | No anti-aliasing option (PC Only)
- ❗Note from Dev: The decision was taken to remove vendor specific upscaler support for VR in F1 25 based on technical incompatibilities of our VR mode with the latest upscaler models. These incompatibilities could not be resolved, and keeping the options would have given a poor experience to our VR players.
