Is there an NVIDIA Game Ready driver for F1 25?
There are no official NVIDIA entries for F1 25 in our database yet: it isn’t found in the Game Ready release notes we have collected, and our list of releases may be incomplete.

Does the AMD Adrenalin driver support F1 25?
Yes. AMD listed F1 25 under New Game Support in Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 from Jun 2, 2026. Install that version or newer (current: NVIDIA 617.42, AMD 26.9.2, Intel 32.0.101.9034).
F1 25 crashes after a driver update — what should I do?
Check the release’s known issues on this page: if the vendor describes your case, it usually recommends a version to roll back to. Then clear the shader cache, do a clean driver reinstall and see the game’s crashes and errors page.
Should I clear the shader cache after a driver update?
The driver usually resets the cache itself, and the game recompiles shaders in the first minutes — brief stutter is possible. Clearing it manually helps if artifacts or crashes on loading appear after the update.
