The latest update for F1 25, patch 1.06, has been rolled out across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms, bringing significant enhancements to the game's wet weather handling. This update aims to provide a more realistic and competitive racing experience, especially in challenging weather conditions.

Key Improvements in Patch 1.06

• Wet Weather Handling: Adjustments to the automatic gearbox reduce short shifting in higher gears, allowing players to better compete with AI in wet conditions.
• Front Height and Floor Friction: Changes to front ride height and floor friction levels minimize the impact of underbody scraping on a player's top speed, ensuring a more balanced performance against AI vehicles.
