F1 22 Patch 1.16 Adds Limited-Time Elimination Mode, Fixed DSQ Issue & More - Patch Notes

EA and Codemasters have released F1 22 patch 1.16 adding a limited-time elimination mode, fixed an incorrect DSQ issue and more.

In the new Elimination Mode you basically need to stay out of last place when the timer is up to keep from being eliminated. Around every 40 seconds or so the last place racer will be knocked out of the race and the timer resets. It’s more like a party type racing mode that comes as a surprise to many as it wasn’t announced previously. It’s also a limited-time mode so we aren’t sure how long it will last.

Check out the patch notes below.
