Manuel driver transfers for career mode / custom grids
Hi Codemasters and EA F1 Team, I’d like to suggest a feature that many fans have been waiting for: **Manual driver transfers** before starting a Career Mode or Custom Championship in F1 25. This would allow players to: - Create their own fantasy grid (e.g., Hamilton at Red Bull, Alonso back at Ferrari) - Simulate future seasons or real-life rumors - Make their own driver line-ups without being limited to the official grid This is something players have wanted for a long time—especially in offline modes, where balance and fairness are not a concern. Games like NBA 2K already allow full roster customization and sharing on both console and PC. Adding this feature to F1 25 would boost immersion, creativity, and replay value massively. Even if it’s not for online use, having it available in Career Mode or Custom Season would be a **game-changer**. Please consider it for F1 25 or future titles. Thanks for your time—and for listening to the community! Best regards, An F1 fan who just wants more control over the grid.2 player career mode
In 2 player career mode, how will the game decide which player will be on the left and the right side inside the box? I know it's a strange question. Beacuse for example Bottas is on the left, Zhou on the right. But if me and my friend take on Sauber it seems, me the host is on the right even tho I chose Zhou to be my driver partner before my friend joined. And if I chose Zhou I should be on left in Bottas's place but my frined joins and he's on the left. So how can I be on the left?Wet Time Trial & 1 Championship
Hi, Recently started F1 24 and enjoying it, just a couple of questions - Am I right in thinking there is no time trial in wet conditions? If so, how can you practice for the race if it is in wet conditions? Also, can you only save 1 x championship at a time, so you cant even play a one off GP to practice in wet say, as it overwrites your current championship and you would lose your current standings. Is there somewhere to go to to play a one off GP race? thanks for help in advance.
AI need improvement in F1 24
On top of the issue of the AI not having retirements, etc. in F1 24 career mode, there are some huge opportunities for improvement with the AI for F1 25. Below I’ll explore some. Ai need to have the same playing field as the player - that is, equal tyre wear, equal ERS, equal fuel consumption etc. because otherwise it feels like you’re racing completely different spec of cars Ai strategies NEED more variation. It’s so boring having the, all pit within the same 1-2 lap window. We need some to do 1 stops, some to do 2, and heck even some doing 3 stoppers. More variation, keeping the race dynamic. Ai need to get track limits warnings, punctures and all other things players sometimes get. For some reason Ai currently are immune to these things which makes no sense. Ai need to make mistakes!!! We need them running off track every now and then and getting warnings, and track limits penalties PARTICULARLY at tracks where this is common IRL e.g. Austria. It is so boring having the Ai be so perfect, it takes away from any jeopardy. They also need to spin out, bin it into the wall, have brake failures (Charles Leclerc Monaco 2018 example) etc. At tracks like Monaco there should not be 20 drivers finishing every time. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO QUALIFYING, there should be crashes and lap invalidations from the Ai here too!! On this topic of mistakes, the Ai need to crash into each other more! E.g. Esteban Ocon sending one down the inside of Gasly at Monaco, this needs to happen with Ai. More human-like characteristics where they divebomb each other and the players every now and then, and perhaps cause crashes with each other, rather than all being so uniform and mundane. Can you imagine at turn 1 seeing one Ai send it down the inside at La Source of Spa on Lap 1 and taking out 4 other cars like in 2018 IRL? The drama, excitement that would bring! Knowing anything truly could happen every race, rather than it being a race between you and the half cheating half perfect all the time Ai. Ai need to take different racing lines to one another. Talk about being all the same and super boring…. When all the Ai take one uniform racing line it’s very boring. How about the Ai all take different racing lines based on their IRL characteristics? E.g. Zandvoort Turn 4 (the heavily banked left hander). Ai should NOT have such perfect grip in the rain. It is really disappointing seeing the Ai have near-perfect grip and zero sliding when on slicks on a wet track, and have almost the same pace as players on intermediates on that wet track. Not saying this would be easy, but is it achievable within one year? Absolutely. Finding a way to make the Ai more dynamic and interesting through the details listed above, would be a bigger improvement to career mode than any contracts or secret meetings feature could ever be.
General customization on F1 24 (Community issues and requests)
Hello everyone, I am putting back this post concerning personalization which has already been discussed on the Forum ⬇️ ~ Summary of recurring requests and problems on this debate ⚠️ 1. Problem with racing suit liveries which have a shiny effect on them unlike official suits 2. An extremely limited choice of liveries on F1 24 compared to other years, whether for helmets, outfits, cars. So a customization which is always present but which is almost of no use because there is almost no choice to create your driver and your team 🤷♂️ 3. A very strong demand in the community for a livery editor for helmets and cars like what has been integrated into F1 Manager in order to allow players much more creation and freedom in this system 🎨 4. An idea to set up a community system that allows content from livery creators to be shared, which could be uploaded to the community. System present on other franchises 🌍 5. For helmet customization, a more immersive customization solution would be desirable for F1. The possibility of choosing the color of the visor, the location of the sponsors, adding the driver number on it as well. Being able to integrate different patterns or designs on it could finally make it possible to make a realistic and very well customized helmet. Also valid for cars ... 🏎 6. Finally a subject that has already been discussed for a long time despite the question of FOM and licenses a choice of helmets under Official licenses for career mode within a real team. The fact of being able to personalize your helmet but in line with the team you are joining, i.e. Official sponsors on it. Lots of examples on racedepartment.com. But something that remains supervised by EA and Codemaster. A rider who signs with Alpine should not end up with a purple helmet with nothing on it. 🏁 Here is a summary of what has been discussed recently on this forum but also on the networks, many are waiting for changes and developments in personalization and among them requests which have already been going on for very many years. Feel free to add ideas to this post, I may have forgotten some. I am present on this Forum only for the subject of customization on the F1 franchise as long as there are no changes at this level or very little listening to our requests. ⚠️F1 Time trials API
Hello Everyone, I hope you're all doing well and having a great day/afternoon! I'm reaching out because i'm looking for a solution for time trials. I'm working on a Discord Project where people can submit their lap times to generate rankings within the server. Currently every lap is manually checked and verified, which is very time-consuming. I'm interested in finding an API or any method to automatically retrieve these lap times, eliminating the need for human verification. Any ideas or informations would be greatly appreciated !

UDP telemetry broken with patch 1.19?
Hi there, today after automatic update to 1.19 (PS5) I get NULL from UDP "LapHistoryData" (clearly I have completed some laps): Till two days ago with 1.18 it was everything fine like always. Useless to add I changed nothing, just turned on my PS5, got that 1.19 update and started the game as usual. Besides I'm not sure if there's something else broken yet, I will add in the thread if I find something else. Did you change anything? Can you please check? Hoobiechoobie
Career mode does not have a menu
It seems like F1 career mode is supposed to have some kind of menu in between races where you can upgrade the car and see team offers and such, however my game does not have anything like this and instead goes from the end of one race straight to the qualifying of the next. I am currently in F2 and would like to figure this out to move up to F1.Is there a manual for F124?
I'm having a problem with the difficulty setting tile disappearing, and perhaps it's not a bug, it's something else that I don't know because I'm new to the game. So I thought I would look for the manual or any help pages. I couldn't find a manual, and the help online is a joke because even after searching and clicking specifically on F124, I get a bunch of articles that have nothing to do with the game itself but instead with account issues: I love the "I need to report a real-life threat". I can imagine the user complaining "Maaaaan, that Verstappen **bleep** threw his car on me, then Stroll ran all over me!!! I almost died!!!" So seriously, is there a manual or real help to learn not about F1 but the game itself, like the settings and career modes, etc?
