Season Two of F1 25 is here, revving its engines from July 23 through September 16 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. This new season, titled Sprint Battle, brings a ton of fresh content fresh of the success of the F1 movie starring Brad Pitt.

Let's break down everything coming to F1 25 with Season 2.

Free McLaren Livery Gift

It's the first real-world special livery to hit the game, and unlike before, it'll apply directly to your McLaren car in races, and once you've got it, it's yours forever. You don't have to do anything special, simply login to the game and check your mail during the timeframe mentioned above.

Driver Ratings Update

The Driver Ratings have also gotten a massive shake-up, reflecting real-world performances from Australia to Britain. Some of the most buffed drivers include Oscar Piastri, rising four points to a 91 Overall, making him joint-second highest. On the flip side, Liam Lawson gets the biggest drop, down eight points. Rookies like Isack Hadjar and Kimi Antonelli also see significant improvements, with Hadjar gaining the most Overall points to 77.

Elimination Mode Returns to F1 World

F1 World is bringing back the popular Elimination Mode from July 23 to August 20. This time, the grid is smaller (15 drivers) and eliminations are even quicker (every 25 seconds). If you're a Mario Kart World player, it's similar to Knockout Mode. Plus, snag some cool new sponsor gear and a Crystal Burst helmet for top finishes.

New Sprint Race Scenario Events

Two new Sprint Race Scenario Events are also on the way: reliving Lewis Hamilton's 2025 China Sprint victory (July 25 - August 18) and giving Kimi Antonelli his maiden win at the Miami Sprint (August 20 - September 17). Winning these nets you exclusive liveries and customisation options.

Podium Pass Season Two

And of course, a new season means a new Podium Pass (running until September 16), loaded with 9,000 PitCoin, two full livery sets, and tons of other customisation items across 50 levels.
