F1 26 Mod for F1 25 Game 2.0
Here’s my new F1 26 Mod, currently in its early stages and set to evolve with each official team presentation. To use this mod, make sure to select Career Mode, which gives you access to all 11 teams.
You’ll find a link to my tutorial video in the description, along with other useful resources to help you get the most out of the mod.
Special thanks to LACKO, whose Database Editor makes it possible to transfer drivers while preserving their statistics, number, audio and flag.(except for the Cadillac team, which is still not possible)
For the best experience, I recommend using the Simplified Launcher, ( You need to download version Simplified Launcher v3.0 [BETA 0.54 ) which fully enables the updated driver and team names. I’ve updated six languages so far — French, English, Portuguese, Italian, Polish and Spanish. For all other languages, the English version is included so you can still enjoy the mod without issues. If you prefer to keep your original language settings, simply delete the localisation folder.
For those who have the EA App version or that they do not want to use the Simplifield Launcher, the mod also works via copy/paste. Unfortunately you will not have the name changes for the drivers and teams.
Since update 1.55, my mod has been modified into two parts to simplify the upcoming release of my F1 26 Melbourne mod and the next races. You must install both parts in the launcher, or if you're not using the launcher, copy and paste both parts.
WARNING : All the mods that I make available to you are my property, you can use them or modify them for your personal use, but in no case reuse them or modify them to publish them on other websites. If you make videos, please add a link to this page.
Special thanks to RK16 and Mild Design of Team Simplified for the Simplified Launcher and SERPs Base Files, and to AuthorMantas Jokubauskas for the F1 25 Language Pack update

hey everytime i try to load this mod the game crashes do you know any fixes?
If you have the DLC, that’s normal, because this mod is for those who only have F1 25 without the DLC. Otherwise, I recommend verifying the game files and trying again.
Hey Blondin16, I am loving the mod so far! I am running my own 2026 career mode and I would like to use some other mods with your base mod to simulate special liveries, but when attempting to the Audi, Haas, Ferrari and Williams skins glitch out. Is there a way to know which liveries can be used with your mod?
Indeed, for these liveries, I merged them with other liveries, and that's why it's bugging out. The ones that shouldn't be bugging out are McLaren, Red Bull, Mercedes, Alpine, and Aston Martin.
Hello Blondin16, your mod is amazing, but I have the question, is it possible to let me change the car livery or the helmet when I'm using your F1 26 mod? Like the mercedas w17, Kimi is the blue gloves. Cause I'm playing career mode use as Kimi.
It's possible, but you have to do it manually with Ego.ERP.Archiver.
blondin16 good evening, I wanted to thank you, I managed to install everything. I have to say that you did an excellent job with these 2026 mods, congratulations. I wanted to ask you something, I don't know if it can be done, but do you think you could remove those mudguards from the wheels? That way they would be just like today's. Bye and have a good evening.
Thank you, but unfortunately, what you're asking for isn't possible.
I installed them in this order :Part 1 / Part 2 / Mod Japan 26 di Blondin16
You need just part 1 and Japan
Hi Blondin 16, I have a problem: when I install your mod everything works fine, the only thing that doesn't work is that when the drivers don't have the original helmets, for example Hamilton with the white helmet at Suzuka, the car is completely red and basically the white part is not visible. What could it be? I install everything as you describe in your post. Thank you in advance for your reply and have a good evening.
Did you activate part 1 of the mod with the Japan 26 mod?
why does my team cadillac has no logo?
Question in the f126 1.59 mod the performance let's say aftera season would the car performances stay the same or let's say it will change when the AI upgrade r and d
I haven't played a full season, but I think performances will evolve based on each team's upgrades, and these upgrades will change the standings.
Você acha que num update futuro haverá possibilidade de modificar o nome do piloto como faz com o nome das equipes antes de dar o play?
Ultima atualização do F1 2025 está bloqueando o mod com o anti cheat
Sem problemas, basta verificar a integridade dos arquivos do jogo no Steam e funcionará.
Funciona no F1 2025 da Epic Games?
I don't know, I don't have it on Epic, but I think it should work too since there are no problems with the EA app and Steam.
i have a problem, im in career mode as driver in audi and it doesnt show my and my teammate last names in race, only our driver numbers, also there is still sauber logo in race and no cadillac logo, just empty space, also cadillac drivers are both from UK
Can you get Antonellis blue gloves?
Hi, is there any chance you might release a version without performance mode? For use in MyTeam.
This could be done in a future update.
depois de baixar part 1 e part 2, qual ou quais arquivos devem ser transferidos para mods do simplicador?
Você precisa colocar as duas partes no iniciador e marcar as caixas quando abrir o iniciador.
bom dia, tem como me enviar um video atualizado, de como faz essa instalação, desse ja, muito obrigado
Você prefere um vídeo para copiar e colar ou um que utilize o iniciador?
Infelizmente nao vou manter assinatura, pq não consigo instalar.
eu nao acho o arquivo, "F1 26 MOD FOR F1 25 KANNERSPORT"
Isso é normal, eu renomeei e substituí pelo mod F1 26 para F1 25 partes 1 e 2.
bom dia, pseh, porem a parte do copiar e cola, eu não acho, tem como fazer um video e explicando como fazer isso, com essas novas pastas, desde ja obrigado
eu baixei as duas partes do modo 26, porem extrai tudo pra uma pasta so, e as pastas esta diferente do video
Sim, o vídeo tem mais de dois meses e meu mod evoluiu desde então. Tive que fazer algumas alterações na estrutura de pastas, mas o procedimento continua o mesmo. Portanto, se você seguir os dois vídeos que forneci, tudo deverá funcionar.
Eu baixo as duas partes, porem as pastas estão diferentes do video
Se você optar por copiar/colar sem usar o inicializador, recomendo copiar/colar primeiro a parte 1 e depois a parte 2. Extraia o arquivo diretamente para a pasta do jogo.
Are you going to focus on performance too in future...for example to make Mercedes on top as in real,right now? amazing mod btw
I'm working on it and I think I could include it in the next update.
May I ask why Audi has so few sponsors?
Hi, in my team career I still have the names Aitken and Mayer and the team name Konnersport, is there any way to fix this? And possibly the flags for Bottas and Perez
For the names, you need to use the Simplified Launcher and watch this video. https://youtu.be/wqREYe-ClMo
The quality of your mods are just incredible! If I copy paste this mod will it swap certain drivers in my career mod
If you copy/paste this mod, you will have the same drivers as the mod in career mode.
Will this work on XBOX game pass?
I think so, but you won't get the updated team and driver names. Also, the mod will only work with copy/paste, and I don't think it will work with the launcher.
Can I only install the new Red Bull livery? Not the entire mod, just their livery.
You can do it manually by exporting the livery textures and then importing them onto the original livery textures. Alternatively, I'm planning to create a mod soon with all available liveries, completely independent of my mod.
gostava muito de usar estes mods se alguem puder enviar um video a instalar por favor , subscrevi para jogar o mod f1 26 mas nao consigo instalar
nao consigo entrar no jogo nem consigo por os mods no jogo e fiz tudo igual ao video mas aparecem pastas diferentes
não consigo usar outros mods que alteram as skins dos carros quando esse mod esta ativo na versão antiga eu conseguia sem problema outro detalhe na versão 0.54 ele muda o idioma do jogo , só na versão 0.42 ele mantem o idioma que eu escolhi
Para opções de idioma, assista a este vídeo que explica como instalá-lo: https://youtu.be/wqREYe-ClMo
I tried 0.54 to install but still cannot start the game, somebody said the EA anticheat from the latest patch should be responsible for this
No, version 0.54 is the one I'm using and it works correctly. I suggest you verify the integrity of the game files on Steam and try again.
Atualmente a versão está em 0.58 beta, o mod funciona melhor na versão 0.54?
Pessoalmente, eu uso a versão 0.54. Não testei as versões mais recentes, mas acho que elas também funcionam muito bem. Quanto ao problema de inicialização do jogo, às vezes demora bastante para começar, mas não sei se o problema é com o inicializador ou com o anti Cheat. Se o jogo ainda não iniciar depois de esperar, sugiro que você verifique a integridade dos arquivos do jogo no Steam e tente novamente.
Pelo que eu entendi: Baixo o launcher simplificado v3, depois coloco na pasta mod as partes 1 e 2, dou um refresh e o jogo deveria iniciar normalmente. Estou ainda tendo problemas onde o launcher reporta game ready mas não inicia
cant get past the comunicating services or initial loading
Sorry, but I don't understand your question.
Does this mod adjust the handling to resemble a 2026 model car, or does it just change the car livery and race suit? Thanks, this mod is awesome!
No, I only changed the aesthetics, not the physical aspects.
The game crashes when i do copy and paste, am i doing it wrong?
I think so. I advise you to first check all the files from Steam or the EA app and copy/paste both parts of the mod. Let me know how it goes.
Excellent, my friend! Version 0.54 got it working again for me; I was using version 0.42.
Okay, that's good to know, I'll update the description to use version 0.54
It doesn't work; EA's anti-cheat prevents it.
It works for everyone, there's no reason it shouldn't work for you. I recommend verifying all the game files on Steam, carefully reviewing my tutorial (I personally use version 0.54 for the launcher), and everything should work.
Salut excellent pack c'est final ou tu vas continuer à les mettre à jour ? J'ai l'impression que entre temps quelques livrées on changé un peu de styles.
Oui ce mod va évoluer au fur et à mesure. En ce qui concerne les livrées j' essaierai de les mettre à jour mais c'est compliqué car il y a énormément de restrictions dessus.
esse mod versão 1.53 não tem os mesmos arquivos que ele mostra no vídeo do youtube como que instala ele?
Tienes que hacerlo como en el video. Solo ha cambiado un poco el nombre del archivo, pero el método es el mismo.
idk man the game doesn't start anymore through the launcher
i fixed now added at launch options -dx12 and verified the files before now it works
apliquei o mod mas não aparece a cadillac, ela sobrepoe a myteam ou a alguma outra equipe?
Você só verá essa opção no modo carreira de piloto e, caso a Cadillac não apareça, terá que escolher entre Cadillac ou Konnersport na seleção.
La Cadillac... wow, good job!!
I wanted to let you know, in case you missed it, that Hamilton's helmet has had some changes.
I'm surprised by your message because I've already modified it in this mod.
Will there be future updates for Career Mode, such as adding real driver helmets?
Yes, as soon as I can, I'll do a special F1 26 career helmets mod
I cant find the mod file in the folder
The folder is the same as in the video, I simply renamed it by removing Konnersport
Now all the car liveries are available, when the next update is coming?
As soon as I've finished them, maybe by the end of the week
Thank you for all your work, enjoying the mods immensely.
with 0.55 it doesnt work and i cannot acces 0.54 so what now
Version 0.54 is still available; I'll give you the link where you can download it. And anyway, I think version 0.55 works the same way. https://www.patreon.com/posts/simplified-v3-0-145533023
j ai l impression que la résolution du casque d oscar n'est pas nette.' dans la sélection des écuries et pilote )...sinon tjrs pas possible en VR avec les changements de noms..dommage.merci pour tout
C'est possible, car je l'ai laissé en basse définition, je ferai le nécessaire dans une prochaine mise à jour. Pour la VR malheureusement je ne peux rien faire.
after the last update, dont work =(, any yours update is coming?
You need to use version 0.54 of the launcher; I will soon make another tutorial explaining how to change the language with this version of the launcher.
Hello, I followed your steps, but I'm stuck on the homepage loading screen.
It might be because of the latest update, I'll look into it, but it works for me. Otherwise, you can use my mod by copy-pasting without going through the launcher; the only thing you won't have is the driver and team name changes.
Hello i downloaded the mod and did everything in the tutorial video but i dont get the cadillac team why?
Cadillac is only available in career mode and it replaces Konnersport
Could you update the VCarb livery (there are differences between the mod's paint job and real life) and add the McLaren test livery?
I don't see what I can modify on the VCarb; otherwise, for McLaren, we'll have to wait for the unveiling of the new livery to see any changes.
Il manque le sponsor "BP" sur l'Audi, possibilité de la rajouter dans une possible mise à jour ?
J' ai mis à jour certains sponsors mais pas celui là car impossible.
The mod is not working in my game for some reason, no matter what i do. I have enabled all the bypass options and i play in english but the only way to make it work is by installing manually, but of course i won't have drivers and team names
The mod works perfectly; if it doesn't for you, you must have missed something during installation. I advise you to carefully watch my tutorial and follow each step to avoid any problems.
Why are there no Red Bull liveries?
I don't understand your question; the Red Bull livery is indeed present in this mod.
Microsoft logo on mercedes is flipped
That's normal; it's impossible to do it any other way on the Mercedes chassis.
hello, when i downloaded your file, it isn't detailed like in your tutorial. it shows 2025 asset groups, audio, character_package, etc. Therefore i cannot change the names of the drivers
The only thing that's changed since the tutorial is the name of the WinRAR folder, which I've simply renamed "F1 26 mod for F1 25". Did you download version 0.42 of the simplified launcher?
hello, apres avoir tout installer nickel,je me rend compte que ce mode de lanceur n'est pas compatible VR...a moins que tu connaisse un moyen?
La solution c'est de ne pas passer par ce lanceur et juste de copié/collé mon mod dans le jeu comme avant. Tu n'auras pas le changement de noms et d'équipes mais si tu le souhaites tu peux le faire toi même en regardant le tuto que j'ai mis à disposition.
Is it possible to have yellow t-cam for 2nd drivers like Bortoleto and Perez?
I don't know why it doesn't appear in the game, because I see it in the decal but not in the game itself.
Could you tell me if there is a way to avoid opening the program and launching everything from Steam? Ps it would be great if you also put Italian.
You can play the mod without using the Simplified Launcher; the only difference is that you won't be able to change the driver and team names. To do that, simply copy and paste my mod directly into the game. Otherwise, I'll see about releasing an Italian update next week.
Im kinda confused. I followed the video, but when i download your mod its just 1 folder that has a F125 folder in it. Theres no no way for me to get to the Konnersport file like you did even if i extract it its still not there. I got the latest dowload file you posted.
Don't worry, I just renamed my F1 26 mod file to F1 25, but it's exactly the same file. So you just need to follow the instructions without worrying about the name.
Is there a way to make your mod/mods compatible with damage mods?
It's not compatible with copy/paste, but if you know how to do it manually, it might be compatible.
Would it be possible for you to do this with the 2025 F2 grid ? Like transfer the 2025 f2 liveries to the 2024 f2 career mode cars.
It must be possible, but unfortunately I won't have the time to do it.
Hi ! I dont have the name of isack hadjar in redbbull ( and for lindblad too)
If you're on Steam, it means you've forgotten to enable bypass in the launcher settings. If you're on the EA App Store, that's normal because it can't work on that platform.
