Thank you for pointing this out.
I just tried launching it on the dGPU (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060) but the problem still persists ☹️
Additional notes since I first posted this issue:
1) The game crashes specifically on the "communicating with servers" screen, right before the main screen should show up where you choose the game mode and race to play.
2) I did have the game running on this very system before I repurchased and reinstalled it for a lower price during the Steam winter sale. I have also checked the integrity of the installed files in Steam post the reinstall.
3) The game crashes irrespective of whether the Steam cloud save is on or off.
4) I have followed the general troubleshooting guide on Steam.
I don't think its a system issue but more of a game issue since I am able to run multiple other games on my system with the same configurations right now.
Any help is much appreciated!
@27wb02soej2z regarding additional note #1, I seem to recall other users who reported something like this, and I believe it was linked the anti-cheat acting up and closing the program. I would try uninstalling and re-installing one more time as maybe when you re-installed the most recent time something went wrong with the anti-cheat file.

Random answer to be fair.
Not in any way exonerating Anti-Cheat but there are issues with some Anti-Cheat and W11. A lack of transparency is often a factor. I haven’t experienced any AC issues but then my system must be unique in that it’s updated and restarted?
Also, I perform Steam backups and use them to reinstall rather than redownloading the bulk of a game.
I do a Steam backup once the game tests stable, usually a benchmark and a few restarts.

Ok, very random fix but this is what worked for me. Leaving it here for others.
1) Delete temp files from your system. Win + R and type %temp%2) Delete your hardware config file for F1 24 - this is typically located here: Documents\My Games\F1 24\hardwaresettings\hardware_settings_config.xml. I apparently had two hardware config files creating some clash while loading. I deleted both of them

This is possibly just the deletion of hardware_settings_config.xml the other file in the folder is hardware_settings_info.xml. Deleting the first is an approved solution for issues.
