EA have today released F1 23 patch v1.07. With this update the software seems to have dealt with most of the issues raised in my review, because pushing the release date by a month rather than fixing the issues below would have been worse, apparently.

– Timer may display incorrect time when spectating Qualifying sessions
– HDR too dark on menus (PS5)

– Fixed an issue where Sponsor boards would be black at Singapore
– Fixed an issue where in cockpit camera no pit limit speed or distance warning message would be present
– Fixed an issue in Time Trial where any change to the “F1 Dial’ OSD element would not be saved
