F1 Manager 2024 is here, with players flocking to become the best leader on the grid. Taking advantage of pit stops is key to snatching victory, and for that, you need a good sporting director to help shave those precious seconds.
Let's take a look at the best sporting directors in F1 Manager 2024.
Sporting superiority
Before we recommend which sporting director is best, let's first take a look at how they are rated in F1 Manager 2024. Each is rated across four stats, with an overall calculated based on these.
Each stat relates to how well they can train the pit crews, with players requiring the best in order to achieve greatness.
The stats rated are the following: Training, Aptitude, Leadership, and Processes.
Training directly affects pit crew speed, as well as performance across a season. Aptitude impacts the maximum ability of the pit crew, as it is limited to this number.
Leadership demonstrates how likely pit crews will be to make mistakes. In the key part of a race, you want your crew to be on point every time, so this is a crucial stat to study.
Best Sporting Director in F1 Manager
Once again, Red Bull boasts the number one staff member in the paddock. Jonathan Wheatley is a familiar voice to F1 fans, in particular those who still remember Abu Dhabi in 2021.
Wheatley maxes out his stats pretty much across the board, but he's a tough one to recruit. After all, why would you leave the best team on the grid?
For an easier-to-recruit option, McLaren's Randeep Singh is a great choice. His stats are low but he's at the younger end of the spectrum so has plenty of time to develop.
Aurelien Pallier is also a good option if you have a limited budget. Working in F2, he's easy to recruit to the top table even if you're managing a backmarker.
You can see the top five sporting directors below:
Name | Age | Team | OVR | Training | Aptitude | Leadership | Processes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Jonathan Wheatley | 58 | Red Bull | 94 | 100 | 100 | 99 | 100 |
Diego Ioverno | 48 | Ferrari | 92 | 99 | 100 | 99 | 100 |
Ron Meadows | 59 | Mercedes | 90 | 100 | 92 | 97 | 98 |
Andy Stevenson | 56 | Aston Martin | 88 | 88 | 86 | 94 | 92 |
Randeep Singh | 37 | McLaren | 86 | 94 | 96 | 90 | 91 |
