F1 22 Sports Liveries Update Features New Car Models

In addition to the recently announced driver updates, the next F1 22 patch will also include a number of livery and model updates for the 2022 F1 cars in the title. I’m actually pretty happy to see this as it is quite unexpected and something they could have certainly got away without doing.
