Codemasters released Patch 1.05 for PC. Console users need to wait for the update.
Developer Codemasters deployed Patch 1.05 for F1 2020. The update is now available on PC and will arrive on PS4 and Xbox One later this week.
Gamebreaking tire bug fixed
A lot of players were bothered by a massive bug which spoiled their races. Although they used different types of tires correctly, they were accidentally disqualified in the last lap.
According to the patch notes, the bug should be fixed now.
Australia loses its Jesus
Just a few days after the release, one man already became a huge meme in the game. In the track cutscene playing before the Australian Grand Prix, a man could be seen walking on a lake. Jimmy Broadbent called him the “Aussie Jesus”.
