F1 2021 v1.13 Now Available, Adds Jeddah

Codemasters today released their v1.13 Patch that adds the Saudi Arabian Jeddah street circuit to F1 2021 (see separate post for track info, screens and hotlap video). The update also fixes a number of eSports problems such as some drivers having colder tires exiting the pits based on how far they drove from their pit box.

I quite like that they have added the option to disable driver changes in career mode, too. For me, this is something I’d prefer. It’s just wrong seeing Hamilton in a Red Bull.
