Release Date: July 23, 2024
The third installment of the motorsport manager series, in which we control one of the teams taking part in Formula 1 championships. The biggest novelty of F1 Manager 2024 is that instead of controlling an existing F1 team we can also create our own eleventh team.

F1 Manager 2024 is the third installment of the series launched in 2022 and made by the Frontier Developments studio, usually specializing in various types of strategy games. The production uses the official FIA license to allow players to manage the entire team taking part in the Formula 1 championship.
As in the previous parts, in F1 Manager 2024 we do not directly control the cars taking part in the F1 races. Instead, we supervise the entire team, coordinating the drivers, mechanics, engineers and other employees. We must give instructions based on what's happening on the track and on the changing conditions (including accidents, breakdowns or weather changes). The struggles are presented in a detailed manner, using cameras reminiscent of a television broadcast (in this installment more dynamic shots were introduced).
The official license allowed the game to include all 24 tracks and 10 Formula 1 teams that take part in the 2024 season. Thanks to this, we can recreate the championships in real conditions, as well as change their course. We have even more influence on the latter, as F1 Manager 2024 offers for the first time the possibility to create own own F1 team from scratch. We can design our own livery, sign contracts with sponsors, hire all staff , choose suppliers of racing car parts etc. Alternatively we can pick one of the existing teams.
Apart from racing, we deal with the business side of participating in Formula 1 championship. From the headquarters, among others: we take care of the training of drivers and other subordinates, we conduct technological research to improve the performance of machines, or we negotiate contracts on an ongoing basis with employees. In the 2024 version, the people we interact with have individual personality traits and can, for example, be "taken" from us by the competition. It's a risk if we will not provide them with better conditions.
F1 Manager 2024 only offers single-player gameplay.
Since the game was released for both the eighth and ninth generation of consoles, the graphics quality does not differ significantly from F1 Manager 2023. However, it provides improvements, for example, in the field of artificial intelligence and a more dynamic presentation of events on the racetracks.

It looks like the future of the F1 Manager series has been determined in Frontier Developments' latest financial report. The 2025 installment was apparently canceled, as 2024 didn't sell well enough.

Game Ratings for F1 Manager 2024 Video Game.
CGMagazine: 8 / 10 by David Walters
With the amount of customizability available in F1 Manager 2024, no two seasons will be alike and that as far from a bad thing as it can be.
IGN: 8 / 10 by Henry Stockdale
F1 Manager 2024 doesn't completely escape the pitfalls that come with being an annual series, but great new features like creating your own team still deliver a more compelling management sim.
Twinfinite: 5 / 5 by Aleksa Stojković
F1 Manager 24 is by far the best motorsport management sim created to date. The realism, the abundance of features, and the infinite replayability are everything that any fan of this genre could ever ask for, and as expected, Frontier delivered them in spades.
