F1 Manager 2024 launched last week, bringing a host of new requested features to the franchise. For the first time, inspiring F1 team principals can create and manage their own team, from designing custom liveries to negotiating sponsors. A new driver mentality system also gives staff more unique personalities.

One week after launch, a post-launch update has deployed, with update 1.4 resolving several issues that affected the game at launch.
