Learn about how F1 game driver ratings work and what each stat means.

Understanding Driver Ratings

Driver ratings in F1 games are composed of five key attributes that represent different aspects of a driver's capabilities. These ratings are updated throughout the game's lifecycle to reflect real-world performance and developments.

Overall Rating

The Overall Rating is a weighted average of all other attributes, representing a driver's general skill level and competitiveness. This is the primary number used for quick comparisons between drivers.

Experience

Experience reflects a driver's time in Formula 1 and their accumulated knowledge. More experienced drivers tend to make fewer mistakes and handle pressure better in race situations.

Racecraft

Racecraft measures a driver's ability to race wheel-to-wheel, overtake, and defend their position. High racecraft ratings indicate strong racing abilities and tactical awareness during battles.

Awareness

Awareness represents a driver's spatial awareness and ability to avoid incidents. Drivers with high awareness ratings are less likely to be involved in accidents or make contact with other cars.

Pace

Pace reflects a driver's raw speed and ability to deliver fast lap times consistently. This rating considers qualifying performance and race pace across different conditions.

Rating Updates

Driver ratings are updated throughout each F1 game's lifecycle:

  • Base Game (B) - Initial ratings when the game launches
  • Updates (1,2,3...) - Periodic updates reflecting real-world performance
  • Ratings can increase or decrease based on recent race results, qualifying performance, and overall championship standing
