F1 2021, developed by Codemasters, received Patch 1.13 that comes with the new Jeddah Corniche Circuit and a new option that disables driver moves in Career mode.
A New Circuit
Three new circuits were scheduled to drop this year. After Portimao and Imola, the final new track is the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
Situated on the shoreline of the Red Sea, this circuit is among the largest - second only to the Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium. It has plenty of corners compared to other tracks, which means plenty of avenues for you to overtake your rivals when you are lagging behind.
Those who want to try the Jeddah Corniche Circuit can now do so as it is immediately available on Grand Prix, Time Trial, Real-Season Start, and Online play.
Patch Notes
Aside from the new track, Patch 1.13 allows you to disable driver transfers in Career mode. If you want certain drivers to stick with their respective teams, you now have the option to do just that.
Another notable feature is that those who got kicked out during an online session due to the timer running out will no longer be banned.
Here is the complete rundown of all the changes, features, and improvements introduced in this update:
- Jeddah has been added to the game
- Added option to enable or disable Pit Lane Tyre Temperature simulation so cars that box closer to the pit lane entrance are not disadvantaged by colder tires as they exit the pit lane.

- Added option to disable driver moves in career
- Equal performance has been added to Grand Prix mode using F1 2021 cars
