Today, Codemasters released a new update for F1 22, adding the Shanghai International Circuit as a new content to the game and fixing a number of AI-related issues.
With today's update, all players will receive free access to a new circuit as well as a new Ferrari livery and a new event. Although the Shanghai International Circuit was last visited by F1 drivers back in 2019, but it is always a memorable circuit for F1 fans, especially for its turns and corners.
If you have been following the F1 races recently, Ferrari unveiled a new livery last week in the in Monza Grand Prix, and hopefully you can now equip this livery for a limited time as the new updated replaces it with the original livery for a brief period.
Moreover, a new in-game challenge is now live in F1 22 in celebration of Moon Festival, where you need to race as Zhou Guanyu in Singapore Grand Prix while only six laps remains until the end of the race. If you manage to finish the race 7th or above, you will receive a new livery as your reward.
