Track and wing updates for F1 2026

I would like EA to update the 2026 tracks and car wings; I’ve noticed that the opening angle is smaller than what is seen on TV, and the tracks need updating.

  1. Update trackside sponsors for 2026 to match what is seen on TV.
  2. 2. Adjust the rear wing opening to reflect reality, even if it is only a visual change.

  • The cars will be updated in the "Sports Update" which usually comes out in late August/ Early September.

    I'm not sure if they have any plans for updating the tracks in any way, but they definitely won't be adding alcohol related sponsors as shown in your picture, even if it is the 0% variant.

    An update that keeps the sponsors already on the tracks, but updated for 2026.

  • They are not going to do anything which would require actual work, that's against Codemaster/EA ethos.

    They can't even adjust team order/performance, which would be 5 minutes of some nerd in a spreadsheet. Modders have shown its simple enough to change. But again, that would take work on a devs side, and theyre busy adding shoes to the battle pass.

    Honestly would love Heineken boards and updated for more realism. But would go against PEGI 3 Rating guidelines. Saying that EA SPORTS FC has the official team kits and they have gambling sponsors on. And they have alcoholic beverages on the podium that are unlicensed and not the Moet bottles we see in real life. So I don't see why they can't.

    However on F1 2020 in the beta and in the trailers and the early season F1 Mobile Racing update they did have Heineken related branding advertised as When You Drive Never Drink. It's a valuable life lesson and promoting it in game so beer brands aren't directly mentioned would have been a superb alternative.

    They should update the tracks to feature the existing sponsors in their 2026 season configuration; it feels weird racing 2026 cars on 2025 tracks.
