Although Frontier Developments’ F1 Manager series isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, the 2024 edition looks like it should be a much snappier and more personal experience.

As well as the ability to create custom teams - one of the most-requested player features - players will also now be able to simulate races to help speed up gameplay. 

Although it defeats the purpose to a degree, F1 Manager races could take an interminable amount of time to get through, especially if there are numerous safety car interventions.

Skipping races allows players to get into the overarching team-building strategic groove, building foundations for future F1 success, allowing more players to see how their team looks several seasons down the line (and how 53-year-old Fernando Alonso is getting on at Aston Martin).
