F1 Manager 2023: Best Race Engineers

Race Engineers are one of the most visible staff members in a Formula 1 team. Race Engineers provide the crucial link between the Strategists and Team Principals to the driver out on track.

All of the information from the team to the drivers is funnelled through the Race Engineers. The feedback from the driver also goes through the Race Engineer, so communication is a key attribute of Race Engineers.

So, Communication, Feedback and Composure are the attributes which make up Race Engineers' Overall ratings.

Communication displays the ability to speak clearly and effectively with both the driver and the wider team. This will determine how fast affinity grows between the driver and their engineer.

Feedback determines how well Race Engineers understand feedback from the driver and other engineers on the car's setup. A higher Feedback rating means your setups will improve as well.

Lastly, Composure sets how well-focused your Race Engineer is in high-pressure situations. A higher stat in this means mistakes are less likely to happen and the driver has more confidence in their engineer.

Driver Affinity improves the driver's and engineer's morale, which makes renewing drivers' contracts easier and cheaper. The most important attribute of these is Feedback, so look for a high Feedback rating in our table.

You'll need to employ two Race Engineers for your team, as you require one for each of your two drivers. Here are the top five Race Engineers at the start of F1 Manager 2023!
