    This is still an issue after patch 1.09. When will this be fixed?

    Y'all might have figured this out on your own, but a temporary fix for this is to open and close the pause menu after using a flashback.

    For me at least it gets rid of the black bars.

  • This is something I pointed out at release and they never fixed it, some portions of the HUD during the race intro are also broken in ultrawide (like your team logo is overlapping the driver name on the left).

    It's been months and I guess they will probably never fix it since they're focused on F1 games now.

    What a scandal. Update 3.3 and one of the most annoying bugs is still not fixed. Deinstalled the game... this was my last grid game.

    Congratulations EA

    forget it guys. EA will never fix this bug.
