Let's check it out!
F1 2021 Update 1.17 patch notes
The new update, which is rolling out now and comes in at 1.3 GB (on Steam) and addresses a few gameplay issues that players have had recently.
Perhaps best of all though, it returns the awesome White Red Bull to the game, which ran at Turkey as part of Red Bull's celebration for their Honda partnership.
Let's take a look at the full patch notes now:

- Grid penalties now correctly carry over from sessions in Leagues if they are completed at different times.
General

F1 2022 game
Codemasters is yet to officially announce F1 2022, but we know it's coming.
We expect a reveal trailer to drop in April, with a release date of some time in early/mid-July.
Along with the usual Codemasters entry, an F1 Manager game is on the way this year too. Providing the chance to become a Team Principal for one of the official F1 teams, it will be a whole new way to put yourself into Formula 1.
