It certainly helps your career in F1 Manager 2023 to have the best drivers sit in your race cars, but to achieve wins you need more than that.

As team principal, it’s your job to find the right people to fill key positions on your team: You’re responsible for getting the best race engineers, sporting directors, aerodynamics experts, and technical chiefs. Just like with the drivers, you’ll want to develop their talent over time, make sure you pay competitive rates, and upgrade your HQ to the highest standards, lest they are leaving you for greener pastures.
