The first big update to F1 Manager 2023 since its release is around the corner: Frontier Developments has announced v1.6 to launch in late August - and it is going to add a new feature that should give the game an interesting new layer.

With the update v1.6, players will be able to switch teams in F1 Manager 2023. This means that they will not have to stick with a single team for their entire career as a manager and start a new save game once they feel like taking control of another - moving forward, they can choose to leave and take on a different challenge.
This is going to be possible in between seasons, so if players feel like they achieved everything they could with their current team, moving to another that is further down the pecking order and facing off against the team that they had previously set up for success might be more interesting than staying put. Conversely, starting out with a backmarker and working your way up should also make for an engaging career path.
Along the new feature come several fixes and adjustments in v1.6: The season objectives of Mercedes, Alfa Romeo and Alpha Tauri have been adjusted slightly, and bugs concerning Automatic mode in qualifiyng, the Focus slider in Car Part Research Projects, AI tire compound usage and the widescreen UI have been fixed.
Much like EA Sports' F1 series, F1 Manager 2023 features a list of issues that are currently under investigation or have been solved. You can find this list alongside the v1.6 patch notes below. A specific date for the update's release has not been given yet, with Frontier aiming for "late August".
