The world of virtual Formula 1 gets richer with the F1® 25 v1.12 update, introducing the highly anticipated Season 3 alongside a series of exciting new features and significant improvements to artificial intelligence. The update, released on September 15, 2025, at 10:00 UTC, represents a major step forward in the evolution of the world's most popular Formula 1 simulator.

F2™ 2025: The Arrival of Formula 2

One of the most significant additions in this update is the complete introduction of Formula 2™ 2025, bringing all the cars, teams, and drivers from the feeder category into the game. This inclusion represents a fundamental expansion of the F1® 25 ecosystem, offering players the opportunity to experience the complete open-wheel motorsport experience.

Formula 2 traditionally represents the stepping stone for future Formula 1 champions, and its integration into the game will allow players to follow a more authentic and comprehensive career path. The distinctive characteristics of F2 cars, with their different power and handling compared to F1 cars, will offer new challenges and learning opportunities.

Sports Update: 2025 Season Updates

The update also introduces a complete "Sports Update" for F1® 2025 cars, teams, and drivers, including numerous visual updates and sponsor changes that reflect the current situation of the real championship. This type of update is fundamental to keeping the game aligned with the evolving 2025 Formula 1 season.

Visual updates include new liveries, sponsor modifications, and car detail updates that reflect the technical and commercial developments that have occurred throughout the season. This level of attention to detail underscores the developers' commitment to providing an experience as faithful to reality as possible.

Season 3: New Content and Rewards

Season 3 brings a rich package of additional content, including:

• Updated Podium Pass with new tiers and exclusive rewards
• Renewed Podium Pass Store with brand-new items
• Special events and seasonal challenges

The Podium Pass system represents one of the most appreciated elements by players for long-term progression, offering cosmetic and functional rewards that allow further customization of the gaming experience.

Second Driver Ratings Update

The developers have implemented the second driver ratings update based on real championship results from the Belgian Grand Prix to the Italian Grand Prix (Monza). This update ensures that the virtual performances of drivers accurately reflect their real-world performances.

This type of update is particularly appreciated by the community for its ability to keep the game always updated with the current dynamics of the championship, making the gaming experience more immersive and realistic.

AI Revolution: Improved Behavior in All Conditions

One of the most significant aspects of the v1.12 update concerns substantial improvements to artificial intelligence, developed in response to community feedback.

AI Behavior Changes

The artificial intelligence has been completely revised regarding:

• Later braking into corners
• Less effective acceleration out of corners
• Differentiated behavior between dry and wet conditions

Performance Impact

The applied changes have different effects depending on weather conditions:

Dry Conditions:

• Overall lap times remain unchanged
• Improved AI driving fluidity
• More realistic corner trajectories

Wet Conditions:

• AI is slightly slower
• More cautious and realistic behavior
• Greater challenge for players in difficult conditions

Philosophy Behind the Changes

According to the developers, these changes are the result of "extensive internal testing and feedback from the broad F1 25 community." The goal was to refine and retune some of the fundamental racing characteristics of computer-controlled drivers.

Players will now notice that AI races more fluidly, ensuring they enter and exit corners closer to how a real-world driver would, while carrying a more appropriate amount of speed through corner apexes.

Bug Fixes and Technical Improvements

The update also includes a series of important fixes:

Two Player Career Mode
