The famous racing simulator F1 2021 from Codemasters and Electronic Arts Inc. has received its second of three free updates. After the Portimao circuit was added earlier, the Imola circuit and Red Bull Racing's special Honda livery have now been added to the game.

Temporary Red Bull Racing livery

During the Turkish Grand Prix Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez drove in a special livery in honor of Honda. The livery was originally designed for the Japanese Grand Prix, but that race was cancelled and replaced by the race in Istanbul. The white livery is inspired by the Honda RA 272, the car in which Richie Ginther scored the very first victory for Honda. The special Honda livery is only available in the game temporarily, until November 15.

Addition of Imola

The second addition in the new F1 2021 update is the circuit of Imola where the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was held, won by Verstappen. "Last month's response to the release of Portimao was overwhelmingly positive and we know our players are going to love racing at Imola," said Paul Jeal, F1 Senior Franchise Director at Codemasters. "We are also incredibly pleased that Red Bull has chosen the F1 2021 game to unveil their bespoke Turkish Grand Prix livery. Our studio always tries to make the most unique experiences possible and these special additions confirm how authentic the game is."

F1 2021's third and final update will be released just before the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix (December 5), adding the Jeddah Street Circuit to the game.
