Why isn't Colapinto part of the F2 lineup in 2024?

The 2024 F2 lineup will be included as part of the upcoming sports update

F2 you were saying?! 😂

Bring him on please 💪🏻

Im hoping that when the sports update eventually releases that Colapinto can be imported into the F1 roster

My guess is that he won’t appear in F2 in 2024 - the sporting update will override Sargeant like he never existed and Colapinto will be be the Williams driver. In F2 Colapinto will be replaced by Oliver Goethe. I can understand EA can’t allow you to move drivers around Willy nilly in current season due to licensing but when a driver is replaced the user should be able to decide on either Sargeant or Colapinta in this example.

I want to start a career with Colapinto but i can’t because he’s not in the game 

I'd like to see both Sargaent AND Colapinto available to select in the menu... It was pretty silly when they just dropped De Vries for Ricciardo last year. Players might like the authenticity of using De Vries for the races he participated in before he got dropped.. There are also Logan Sargaent fans out there (I'm sure there are... ) who might like to use him in the game and play a career mode where they save his seat! 

Surely this wouldn't be too hard to do??

Also, can we please get an explanation as to why it takes 5 months to patch the 2024 F2 Season in to the game?? Why isn't this available at launch? 

The first year it was included was perhaps understandable, but it's the same every year, now.

It's a spec series so only 1 F2 car chassis/handling model needs to be created. Most F2 Drivers are already in the game from the 2023 season. Surely it doesn't take 5 months after players have bought an £89.99 game to provide this content?

Devs have previously spent time and resources creating a bunch of "Supercars" that nobody wanted or used, so you can't tell me they don't have enough resources to update the F2 content.

We want to play as Kimi Antonelli...

As much as I like F2 I never had an issue with the newest season coming later. I always liked starting my career in the season before the F1 season I would become a rookie in. 

And I do play a fair amount of F2.

Of course it would be better if I got to race the current F2 season and join F1 a year on when some driver moves already happened but not a big deal.

This year’s F2 is a bigger change than most seasons, hopefully that means they actually took some time to model the new cars and tyres. 

My preference has always been get the F1 part working right and then work on the other stuff.
