Portimao Coming Tomorrow, Shanghai Coming Soon for F1 22

Codemasters have today announced that the Algarve, Portimao circuit will release for F1 22 tomorrow, with Shanghai following in an update next month. While it is good to see more content in the software it is obviously a 2020-2021 track in a 2022 title, meanwhile Shanghai hasn’t been used by F1 since pre-Covid times.

“We know our players love the thrill of competing on more circuits, and they don’t get much better
