Codemasters and EA have released F1 2021 patch 1.12 today featuring the second of three free circuit updates. Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, better known as Imola, follows up the addition of Portimao last month.
The latest update includes a special time-limited Red Bull livery, available in-game until November 15, featured last weekend at the Formula 1 Rolex Grand Prix 2021 in Turkey. Originally designed for the Japanese Grand Prix, the predominantly white livery takes inspiration from the legendary Honda RA 272 car, in which US racer Richie Ginther secured the company’s maiden Formula 1 win at the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix. The patch also includes updates to existing car liveries and sponsors alongside further in-game enhancements.Â
