Gameplay

Players take charge of teams as team principals. During races players oversee the strategy of two drivers racing automatically along the tracks, telling drivers when to pit, which tyre compound they should change to, instructing drivers when to drive faster/slower, etc. In-between races players also have the opportunity to upgrade their drivers and various car components such as the engine, brakes, front wing, etc. Disruptive events like weather changes, mechanical failures and Safety Car deployments (e.g. after an accident or a car running out of fuel) can also occur during races.
