Codemasters has rolled out a new patch, which means it is time for the F1 22 Update 1.16 patch notes!

Just because the season is over doesn't mean the Formula 1 game is forgotten. Some sporting updates have been made, along with fixing some frustrating bugs.

There is also a new mode coming to the F1 22 game today! Let's take a look at the full patch notes.

F1 22 Update 1.16

The biggest fixes in the new update focus on tyres.

The incorrect DSQ glitch has been fixed, meaning cars won't be disqualified for the game not recognising they used two tyre compounds.

Tyre allocation options should now be visible in in-progress saves and should be selectable in career weekends.

These tyre issues had been a nightmare for players so it's great to see them fixed.

Some car model updates have been made, including to Alpine's livery colour. And the helmet-less Mick Schumacher glitch has also been fixed.

McLaren's "Future Mode" livery is also included.
