Hi all, thanks for your patience with us whilst we looked into the issue with tyre wear being incorrect following a pit stop. We know that this has been affecting most, if not all of you, and especially multiplayer leagues so we’ve endeavoured to find a fix for it. The good news is that we’re confident that we have now identified the problem and fixed it. Our QA team have verified the fix, however, because it required a change to a core system used by many aspects of the game, we’re looking for as many people as possible to download the beta patch on Steam to try it and feedback to us before we roll the official patch out on all platforms. Since the development team are now hard at work on the next game, this is the last patch which will be made available for F1 2016, and the patch is solely aimed at addressing this one issue.
I'll update this thread tomorrow (25th January) at 10am UK time with all the relevant instructions on how to access the patch (and how to get back to the main game as well). Once they've been posted, feel free to pass these instructions on to any of your friends who own F1 2016 and want to try this for themselves. One thing to keep in mind is that whilst you have the patch installed, you won't be able to play in multiplayer sessions with others who don't have the beta patch, so please make sure when testing that all of you taking part have this installed. You can easily tell you have the update as you will see v1.8 on the Press Start screen.

Once you’ve installed the patch tomorrow, let us know your thoughts on the tyre issue in the discussion thread here. It would be very useful to know which track(s) you tested and which tyres you used in which order. After receiving your feedback, and you’ve verified to us you're as happy with this fix as we are, we’ll set about setting the patch live to everyone on Steam and submitting it to the relevant first parties for release as soon as possible on PS4 and Xbox One.
Finally, as we start to look forward to this year, thank you to all of you. Make sure you keep an eye out, as we'll be giving you some more news very soon,
