F1 Manager 2023 Update 1.6 Patch Notes: New Features and Enhancements

F1 Manager 2023 Update 1.6 Overview

The highly anticipated update 1.6 for F1 Manager 2023 has been released, bringing exciting enhancements to the game. In response to community feedback, this update is primarily focused on improving the gameplay experience. Notably, it introduces a groundbreaking feature that changes the way players interact with F1 Manager 2023.

Update 1.6 for F1 Manager 2023, released today, meets many requests from the community. The main concern of unrealistic expectations from the board has been addressed, especially for team principals starting to work with Mercedes, Alfa Romeo and AlphaTauri. These goals now have an impact on the player’s overall rating, increasing when the goal is achieved and decreasing when the goal is not met.

The most significant addition is the introduction of team switching, a feature that players have been clamoring for since the start of the F1 Manager 2022 franchise. This allows players to switch teams at the end of each season, depending on their Team Principal rating.

A successful season will boost ratings and attract offers from top teams, while a mediocre season will limit the options for less competitive teams and possibly even get them fired from the board.
