F1 23 patch notes for update 1.07: fix for career mode contract bug

Here’s what the second patch for F1 23 deals with

A day after the intriguing British Grand Prix in Silverstone F1 23 has been updated to version 1.07 – it’s the second patch for the newly-released racing sim from Codemasters and EA Sports. PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S have access to this update all the same, so none of the platforms will have to be more patient than the other.

It’s an especially important patch for anyone using a sim racing wheel from Logitech on Xbox, as this update gets rid of a bug that somehow denied players from using auto-saves as well as the Force Feedback setting. Furthermore a frustrating bug in career mode has been fixed – drivers would sometimes retire or negotiate new contracts before the last race of the season, which had some awkward consequences.

Check below for the full F1 23 update 1.07 patch notes.
