F1 2020 Patch Notes 1.07: Codemasters releases Patch 1.07 for Formula 1 2020 game for all platforms

The F1 2020 Patch Notes 1.07 released by ‘Codemasters’ highlights the “Keep Fighting” special feature introduced for Michael Schumacher.

Codemasters released Patch 1.06 with much fanfare, the highlight being the Black Mercedes livery. Mercedes Team Principal had this to say when launching the livery as a tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement.

“Racism and discrimination have no place in our society, our sport or our team: this is a core belief of Mercedes. But having the right beliefs and the right mindset isn’t enough if we remain silent.”
