Unfortunately, the patches introduce a new issues to users of certain hardware as Codemasters explain:
“On certain hardware, when the player???s car goes into shadow the whole screen flickers. This can be worked around by setting Shadows to Low or Ultra Low in My F1 -> Graphics. This issue will be addressed in the next patch.”
Users of the console versions have to wait a little ??longer until the patch passes the quality control and will be available on Xbox LIVE and the Playstation Network.
