F1 MANAGER 2023

Last year F1 Manager 2022 delivered something we'd all been longing for over many years: a truly great management game set within the sport. So, what's changed for this year's release? 

For F1 2023 there are deeper systems governing both your non-driving staff and the little divas in the cockpits. On the staff side, the recruitment of the sporting director role has been added, and they’ll govern your logistical effectiveness including your pit crew’s overall reliability and efficiency. Micromanagers can now get stuck right into the pit crew’s training schedule, deploying the right balance of training and rest days to keep them sharp, fresh and error-free.

Over on the driver side, a new confidence mechanic adds an extra wrinkle to on-track performance. As drivers perform positively—pulling off overtakes, setting quick sector times and lap PBs—they’ll build up confidence, which acts as a performance buff. They’ll be more likely to drive quick, stay consistent and pull of subsequent overtakes when their confidence is high, so you can afford to push them a bit more with your orders.
