EA Sports continues to impress fans of the F1 23 game with their latest update, patch 1.17. While introducing some exciting new features, this update also addresses various issues that players have encountered.

One of the highlights of this update is the addition of the Scuderia Ferrari SF-23 “Golden Age” livery, race suit, and driver helmets.

The attention to detail in recreating the visuals of the Aston Martin AMR23 is another noteworthy improvement in this patch, bringing the car closer to its real-life counterpart.

In addition to these cosmetic updates, patch 1.17 also resolves some gameplay-related problems. The issue where F2 23 and 5 lap races were incorrectly appearing in Ranked Multiplayer has been fixed, ensuring a more streamlined and accurate multiplayer experience. Furthermore, events in the F1 World tab, specifically “Solo & Multiplayer Events,” now display their titles and names correctly.

EA Sports also took into account the concerns of their dedicated community. They have resolved the problem of players being promoted without completing any Ranked Division races, ensuring that rankings accurately reflect players’ skills and achievements.
