The Winning Strategy
Before we dive into the best Race Engineers in F1 Manager 2024, you need to know which attributes these staff members are ranked on. Three stats contribute to the overall rating for Race Engineers.
These all relate to different aspects of communication between the team and driver. In general, their overall rating is a good guide of quality, but some attributes are more important than others.
Each Race Engineer has three attributes: Communication, Feedback, and Composure. Out of all of these, the Communication and Feedback stats are the most important, but Composure cannot be ignored.
You can be the most intelligent and experienced Race Engineer around, but if a last-minute strategy call needs to be communicated to the driver, their composure will be key in delivering that information.
