I think a massive one is when you have driver 1 ahead and driver 2 behind, keep driver 2 as always defend, this will increase the gap between all the cars behind your driver 1 so he only needs to focus on being aggressive, pretty much same, this will help massively when pitting as your driver 1 will most likely keep his position

Nice guide thanks. Congrats on 70k subscribers! You deserve it

The thing I don't like about this game is the tutorial doesn't really explain anything every well. You get this woman called Audrey who basically talks at you, and seems very fond of her own voice, waffling on about the screen your on... But unlike other management games where it takes you step by step through the process of, say, hiring and firing driviers, scouting, developing the cars, etc, she just says the equivalent of "This is a pit crew management screen, here you can train your pitcrew... blah, blah, blah... Oh and there's a prize at the end of the year for the fastest pit stop!", and then she shuts up and leaves you to try to figure it out.

If anyone from FDEV happens to see this, how about a tutorial that actually teaches you how things work. Click here to develop a part, select how many engineers, now select your development path... etc, etc.

Not sure if I’m right for doing this but I drain my fuel early on to make the car lighter. Usually get it to -3.0. Then I set it to medium to start getting it back into the green. Does anyone else do this?

Does Williams are mid field car or they are at the back of the grid

I bought 2022, and whilst it was fun to play initially, it quickly became monotonous to play through each weekend, with very little in the way of variety. A lot of the key features behind the scenes were also poorly implemented. Driver transfers would happen immediately rather than at the end of the season. You could only recruit a young driver as a reserve rather than build a young driver academy team. I know F2 is featured in the game, but what really is there that’s worth another £50 this time round?

I played F1 Manager 22, and it was amazing.

This game in particular has many things that destroy it in my opinion. For example, the minimal lifespan of parts limits the distance I can drive with this part, and I need to pay performance to increase this durability. And I can see once the minimal lifespan is exceeded, the part breaks and we have to retire the car.
The development plans for drivers are also garbage, because I prefer going my own way with driver development. With older drivers like Lewis Hamilton, I would put all the points into pace to avoid him dropping back in terms of pace. Well, I can't do that this time because I need to pick a development plan, and I don't know if there are plans that solely focus on increasing pace.
Other than that, all new additions for the 2023 game just add up to the formula that was already perfect in 2022, and while some do improve the game, some destroy it completely, like this minimal lifespan for parts.

The pause feature is kinda cheating but I guess if you want more of a challenge just don't use feature hurts your skill at the game and getting better and being ready for a online mode if they ever add one

[Eggpal]

Do not pause! There's no pause in real life! Stop cheating!
