A new F1 24 Update launches today, making several improvements to handling, Career, Multiplayer, and more. Right before F1 24's standard edition launched back in May, the community was vocal about the game's handling mechanics, which they felt was a downgrade from F1 23. This update seeks to improve the handling, as well as several other issues. Without further ado, let's see everything new in the latest F1 24 Update.
