All of those changes are minor as far as a game goes on the backend. They aren’t building brand new mechanics for these cars year after year.
Comment on EA Announces No F1 26 Next Year, F1 25 Will Get a Major Expansion Instead

2026 is a new regulations year for F1 so the cars are very different, racing rules are different, there’s even an 11th team joining the fray. Yearly sports game expansions instead of whole new games is the obvious choice but for F1 specifically, this seems like the worst possible year to switch?

I feel like this is also the best time to do this.
F1 25 is not great, the game needs to be sorted out and revamped for it to prosper again in my opinion. The best time for them to have done this was last year, so they could come out swinging for 2026.
But I think coming out next year with a new game that has had time for the 2026 cars to be worked on and settled in is a good choice as well. They just need to get their shit together and put out a good game… Which for racing games seems to be almost impossible

But it also means that 2025 most likely will not get patches anymore.
