Hey everyone, The v1.7 patch for F1® 24 will roll-out on all platforms from Monday, July 22 at 10am UTC. It includes the Season 2 update with a number of quality of life changes and some tweaks to slipstreams and DRS. Please ensure you are connected to online services in order to receive updates. You can find out what's in this patch in this thread HERE.Need some help? Something in the patch not working the way it should? Tell us in this thread.

“Added Puma and Alpha Industry casual wear items”🙄Players begging for more helmets and liveries for 2 months now, and you give us MORE Puma shoes!!! YOU JUST CANT MAKE THIS UP! It’s laughable how little awareness you have for what your players want! it’s a racing game!!! We want RACE WEAR! Why is the store empty? Why was there only ONE helmet at launch? Why only ONE livery for My Team? A mode designed to create your own team and identity! 🙄 F…. F…… S

Absolutely useless update. Alpha industries who cares about this absolutely utterly meaningless nonsense!We need helmets and more race wear.Do you actually listen to anyone at all?What a complete and utter shambles!

@EA_Vendcera Here's a good idea regarding AI DRS/ERS trains...maybe just maybe, if the dirty air of the car in front affected the AI as much as it does the player, then we wouldn't get these DRS/ERS trains. People in these boards have been saying this now not only constantly about this game. But also about the two games previous aswell. What the hell is the point in Beta tests and having message boards on here when nobody listens?

Its not the world, just because Codemasters decided to make it yellow doesnt mean its anything dramatic, sure its a bit of a balance difference/timeloss but can be counteracted for the balance and timeloss depends on how you adapt your driving to it with differential or brake bias@roberto9663 here a table about

I hope that definitive handling is achieved because if 1.3 brought important changes, honestly 1.6 did not (in terms of handling, but the laptimes were very different) and I fear 1.7 will be the same. Micro handling mods do not change the situation, they only lead to losing reference points and leaderboard problems.We are now at the end of July, I think we cannot continue as a Beta, this work honestly should have been done before the launch, between March and May at most IMHO. I hope that for F1 25 we can learn from the mistakes.At this point, if there is no question of making other big overhauls, personally I would prefer stability 🙂

@F7R-JayS I totally agree there; the handling in the previous patch was nice, not F1 2020 standard but it was good, now it’s gone from one extreme to the other, even with most assists on you end up losing the front and rear end of the car; it’s becoming almost as difficult to drive as F1 2013 was and that was the only F1 game I genuinely struggle playing; hell F1 06 for PS2 was easier to drive and that was constantly holding the X button as throttle

I'll tell you what EA does, rework the handling for each patch, then release. No testing the actual handling, let those of us paying for the game test their awful handling. This shold have been caugh in proper testing, but alas EA fired their QA staff.

@BCPARSONS-TVX It’s just setup. Apply to your current setup less engine breaking a higher ride height (especially for the rear) and tire pressure got lap updated you know tend to have low to mid pressures on most tracks. The handling got so much better and it makes so much sense when you just think about it. Less engine breaking = more stable on entry and higher ride height = more corner speed. Just gotta be careful with the front ride height because if you make it to high your exits are slow. New meta should be 1-3 clicks more for the front and 10-20 for the rear. I got from avg being 2 seconds off track record to a avg of being 1.5 seconds down with a race setup without any effort while wheel players struggle to beat their old best time. All I see here are people who don’t know what they are talking about.

@HeyImLucaSorry but that is disrespectful. I've been racing on a very high level for 25 years, including racing for top SIM racing teams with Geoff Crammonds GP series, NetCar and more.

I'm sure I speak on the behalf of many other top drivers here too. Quite simply the handling model since 1.7 for controller players is absolutely garbage as 90% of others have said. So you are saying that all those people are wrong and don't know what they are doing?

Do me a favour!

@IanM282 Sry but I didn’t mean no disrespect but fact is that the update brought wheel players and gamepad player near together. It’s horrible to drive if you don’t update your setup. I explained what I changed and how that brings gameplay and wheel closer together. Or how else do you explain that I’m avg 0.5 seconds closer to wheel users on any track. I literally beat my fastest lap on third try or something after the update (i needed like 50 laps before the update to get to the time) just try it for yourself mate

Hello, I would like to suggest two small adjustments for the next patch of the game:
1) Why is it that when I create a purple sector on the map, the timing graph does not show purple?
2) After a race, on the driver and team classification screen, there are no longer green and red arrows, which indicate when a team or driver moved up or down in the classification, and this detail was present in previous games.
Thank you for your response.
