Walkthrough

This section provides a comprehensive walkthrough for the main career mode in F1 24, guiding you through the journey from a rookie to a world champion. Whether you choose to play as an established "Icon," a current driver, or a custom avatar, this guide outlines the progression path to the top of the podium.

Phase 1: The Foundation - Setting Up Your Career

Your journey begins in the Driver Hub. Unlike previous titles, F1 24 emphasizes "Driver Recognition." Before your first race at Bahrain, prioritize your initial dialogues and team meetings.

  • Choosing a Team: Starting with a top-tier team like Red Bull or Ferrari sets immediate high expectations. Starting with Haas or Williams allows for more "Secret Meeting" leverage later.
  • Driver Accolades: Focus on short-term goals provided by your agent. These are essential for earning R&D points and increasing your influence within the team hierarchy.

Phase 2: Management and R&D Strategy

A successful walkthrough requires mastering the technical side of the paddock. You must balance on-track performance with long-term car development.

  • Practice Programs: Never skip these. Complete the "Track Acclimatisation" and "Tyre Management" programs to earn the maximum 600+ Resource Points (RP) per weekend.
  • The Tech Tree: Focus your first upgrades on "Aero" for high-speed stability. F1 24's new suspension physics make the "Chassis" department more vital than ever for tackling kerbs at circuits like Monaco and Singapore.
  • Specialists: Sign contracts with specific Specialists who offer "Critical Success" buffs to your R&D projects, significantly reducing the probability of part failure.

Phase 3: The Race Weekend Execution

To maximize your score in the Driver Rankings, you must execute every session with precision.

  • Qualifying: Use your ERS (Energy Recovery System) in "Hotlap" mode. Aim for the "Target Position" set by your team to keep your "Recognition" trending upward.
  • Race Strategy: The Dynamic Handling system rewards smooth inputs. Monitor your MFD (Multi-Function Display) for brake temperatures. In 25% or 50% distance races, the overcut is often more powerful if you can preserve your Soft or Medium compounds by adjusting your Differential settings mid-lap.

Phase 4: Rivalries and Contract Negotiations

Mid-season is where the RPG elements of F1 24 peak. You will be assigned a Rival. Outperforming them in three consecutive races provides a massive boost to your market value.

  • Secret Meetings: During the mid-season break, you can meet with rival Team Principals. If your Recognition is high enough, you can negotiate "Multi-Season" perks that carry over R&D progress even if you switch teams.
  • Driver Ratings: Your performance directly impacts your Experience, Racecraft, Awareness, and Pace stats. Consistently finishing in the points will unlock "Tier 3" contract perks, such as faster pit stops or increased engine longevity.

Phase 5: The Championship Push

As you reach the final flyaway races (Interlagos, Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi), ensure you have enough remaining Power Unit components. Use your older ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) and MGU-K units during Friday practice to save your pristine components for Sunday's Grand Prix. Your goal is to secure the "World Driver's Championship" (WDC) while maintaining "Team Leader" status to dictate the development path for the following season.
