Codemasters have teased a new performance and livery update for their F1 2020 racing title - set to be release early next week.
In terms of liveries, the update is set to bring changes to the helmets of both Mercedes drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, and also adjustments to the livery used by Ferrari and Red Bull, with the Austrian team getting further visual updates on the pit crew sponsor logos.
From a performance point of view, update 1.12 will bring with it a reduction in competitiveness to the Ferrari Power Unit, affecting both the works Ferrari team, and customer outfits Haas and Alfa Romeo.
Additionally, Codemasters have also adjusted the performance of some teams within the game based on the relative strengths and weaknesses displayed over the first 11 races of the season. Over and above to the Ferrari PU adjustment, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Haas have also been given further decreases, with just Racing Point improved as part of the new patch.
It is worth noting that according to Codemasters, the "Power Unit stats and prices remain unchanged in My Team, so as not to unfairly change the balance of your experience", which will no doubt be a relief to those players currently working their way through a career mode within the title.
Codemasters have not yet revealed the exact date of the new release, although they do confirm it will be deployed to the simulation at some point next week, with further optimisations and fixes set to be bundled together as part of the 1.12 build.
Sadly no word from the studio yet on the promised F2 2020 season update, expected to be launched as free DLC content to the title before the conclusion of the calendar year.
