Follow-up: Will the Russian Flag Be Returning?

Hello EA/Codemasters,

I wanted to follow up on my previous post regarding the Russian flag in F1 25.

The 2026 Season Pack has now been released, bringing the game up to date with the 2026 season. However, the Russian flag still appears to be unavailable.

With the FIA having lifted its previous restrictions on Russian and Belarusian competitors, I would like to ask EA/Codemasters directly:

Are there any plans to bring the Russian flag back to F1 25?

For players who create custom drivers and careers, having the correct national flag is an important part of the experience. At the moment, Russian players are still forced to use a generic "Rest of World" designation.

I completely understand that changes like this may take time, but it would be great to receive an official clarification from the developers — even if the answer is that it is not currently planned.

Please let us know if the Russian flag will be restored in a future update.

Thank you.
