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.
