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.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 !

I’m driving for rb with Daniel riccardo. He has a perfect race always but when I drive it’s horrible. Just drove Japan in my driver career and I’m sitting p4 starting in p9 so I’ve made 5 places. Decided to pit late cause they said there was gonna be rain and to wait it out until the rain starts to put me on hards. I pit and they have trouble with the left rear tyre. Nothing too bad come out 16th. 2 laps later the rain is still going and they say “mate it might be good to come back to the pits and put on intermediates” so I wait for everyone else to and then pit. I’m p2 when I go into the pits and I come out with a good stop. I come out p17 and start racing again but i realise the grip is horrible so I look. I’m on mediums. They tell me to pit again and put on intermediates, the person behind me is 40 seconds behind, so I do. They then proceed to do a 12 second pit stop cause they couldn’t get the tyres on and I come out 19th. At this point 19th is last. And you’ll never guess. They put on soft tyres. I finish the race dead last and without my front or rear wings and a tyre on its last legs due to no grippiness. I realize you want to help us make the game realistic but come on ea!!!HTC Vive Cosmos Elite
I have no idea why but my HTC Vive Cosmos Elite cannot run on F124. It will play it fine for about 10 seconds then it will just start to stutter so bad. The latency for the headset just climbs and it will play about 1 FPS and is unplayable PC Spec : i9 14900K 32GB RAM RTX 4070Ti.
On Track Markers
Recently I've been noticing that when I do track acclimatisasion, the blue markers that show where you're supposed to go aren't appearing. The same goes for formation laps when you have to park, the blue box that shows you when to stop isn't there. I've looked through all settings and tried to look for a tutorial but i cant seem to find anything so if you're reading this please help me. Thank You.Why do we have to put up with pushy ads on launch?
I'm so fed up with this. I love F124, I have used it dozens of hours so far, it even got me hooked up on real Formula 1. But I'm beyond fed up with seeing this thing every time I open it: I'm never going to get EA Play. The only time I had it was because I was doing a trial of Game Pass and it seemed to be included. I cancelled the trial and bought a few games, among them F124, which is the one I use the most. But if I had no intention of getting EA Play before, this overly pushy, blatantly annoying slide in every time I open the game, convinced to never ever never get it even if I lived 400 years and EA was a company during that whole time, because it annoys me to have this thing try to push me to buy a subscription. I doubt I'm the only one pissed off by this relentless push to try me to get EA Play. As for the new item in the everannoying slide-in, F1 25, I saw it on the news yesterday, and I just ordered the iconic loyalty edition. So this **bleep** pushy ad will not get me to order F1 25 either. The marketing heads at EA should realize that excessive and pushy advertising gets people annoyed and far less willing to buy what you're selling. So please stop pestering us with this.Multiplayer lobby with fixed setup - does not use Balanced
I created a lobby for quali, another lobby for the race. On the first lobby, wings were 25-25 as the fixed setup. On the second lobby, the setup was the option 4, with wings on 13. The track was Jeddah. Any clarification on which setups are used for the fixed option in the lobbies? Why did I have a sudden change of setups?
Patch 1.19
Poor experience - may be Steam related, but could not see the download opening nor installing. Sat at 0% for a few minutes. Closed Steam and restarted, it did then show up. 1.2GB download. Verified it okay. I don't play often (40 hours logged). Framerate was not obeying in-game 144 setting. Game was stuttering (Las Vegas), benchmarked NVMe and writes were down (3000 to 1900). Updated Magician and ran Storage Sense, restarted. Writes checked nominal (3000). DDU'ed (safe) and reinstalled 25.3.1 (also Radeon Super Resolution was showing as 'Inactive' - DDU fixed this). Game restarted and behaved fine, obeying in-game framerate and no stutter. Also updated UEFI today as there was an update (F19g)
Dynamic Weather/Track/Tyres
It’s that time of year where everyone posts their wish lists, and whilst I’m confused as to what ‘cool down laps’ and the ability to walk up and down the paddock would really add to the game, I have a very big request that would go a long way to improving the actual racing experience, and it’s something that was introduced as far back as F1 2011, and somehow lost to time. Dynamic/Live Track! Having a more realistic weather system that represents what we see in real races EVERY time it rains. The direction that it’s coming in, and what corners we can expect it to hit first. Is it try in Sector 1, but wet in Sector 2?? How will drivers change up racing lines and communicate with their engineers to find the optimum crossover point? In older games back on the Xbox 360, we saw wet and dry lines. We saw puddles forming that could cause aqua-plaining. These amazing features seem to have disappeared!! At the moment, it’s boring. You just drive around until DRS gets disabled and your engineer tells you to pit. When it rains, it rains across the whole track to the same consistency. What happened to the dynamic weather? Also, can we get an actual weather radar on the setup screen? The current % display is really out-dated and not useful at all. It doesn’t even show when you use 1 shot qualy what the race weather will be…. That’s an oversight! Dynamic Tyre Model… Why can’t we flat spot a tyre? The wear rate is also very predictable and doesn’t give players much opportunity to change a strategy on the fly. Almost every 50% race, which is standard for leagues just end up as a simple 1 stop with everyone putting on the same lap. Same pit stop times and same running order. Rather than adding Cool Down Laps, or throwing 900 insight things at the player every time they load up, can we start to introduce features that actually add to the racing on track! That’s ultimately what we play the game for. We want to feel like an F1 driver in a race, communicating with an engineer, that also needs an enormous overhaul… (They’re not very informative. They constantly tell you pressure sensors have failed every race, and tell you ‘there are NO plans for a safety car, as you’re watching it come out of the pitlane. That’s an issue that’s been in the game for years, even after Marc recorded new dialogue…. It’s frustrating!) What do we think? Dynamic Track/Weather?
F125 Pilot career mode
One thing that has always bothered me in career mode is not knowing about driver transfers before the next season. In the game, unfortunately, we can only know about driver movements in the teams At the beginning of the following season. I hope this changes, it's not a movie 25 that we can see the transfer of drivers before the end of the season.For example: if a message appears in career mode saying "Esteban Ocon has signed a contract with Haas for next season", it would be better for us to know about transfers before they happen.
Have they improved VR?
Just come back to the game mainly because the F1 season has just started and the VR seems way better than before. I'm not getting the juddering in the garage and it's actually quite smooth now throughout. Not sure if its a global setting I changed or if its been patched. I have to say I'm having a lot of fun now I can get a smooth experience in VR.
Edit driver stats and driver movements
Hello developers. Do you plan to add an editor for driver stats or driver movements? Like in the NHL game for example. You could edit driver stats and move them to another team and start a new career with this settings. I thought it was because of the license but in the career mode there the drivers can move to different teams. So you could let us to do that in the main menu. Thank you for answer in advance.
