EA SPORTS F1 22 comes out on July 1 for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. In our continued coverage of the game, we take a look at the updated track layouts for Australia, Spain, and Abu Dhabi. These changes will be present in F1 22 in order to mirror their real world counterparts.

Australia

Codemasters have remodelled the Australian Albert Park Circuit using LIDAR data. The walls in the outfield areas have been re-positioned and multiple turns have been changes to reflect the new real world layout.

Spain

Catalunya has received a fairly significant overhaul as well. A new layout at turn 10, updates to offtrack areas of turns 10-14, and updates to rumble strips in several areas throughout the track are all present here.

Abu Dhabi

The Yas Marina Circuit - the scene of the controversial conclusion to the F1 World Championship between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton - is the final track to feature a layout change. The hairpin at turn 5, where Verstappen passed Hamilton to capture the Formula One World Championship, now has moved up to add more runoff and no longer has a chicane. Turns 13-15 have been rounded off around the hotel to allow cars to follow more closely.
