F1 2019: Rapid rise possible in career mode

Before you start your career in F1 2019, this overview of the most important points will help:

• In career mode, you first create your own driver. Properties such as strength points do not exist.
• First you compete in three Formula 2 events. These are scripted and embedded in a story.
• After that, you choose a team in Formula 1. This is about your value and the contract value: for top teams, you are initially less valuable, the possible contract is consequently worse.
• In addition, top teams such as Mercedes or Ferrari directly require strong results. For beginners, the requirements could be too high.
• The start in a mid-range team is therefore advisable. In addition, it increases the realism feeling.
• The better you perform, the more your value increases. This allows you better contracts.
• In addition to your driving talent, the further development of the car is of central importance. Through this you can become significantly faster over the course of the season. So it's worth investing the resource points for the four areas regularly.

At the end of the day, of course, it's primarily about your performance on the track: good results bring better contracts and the advancement continues. Focusing on gameplay is therefore the most important thing, especially in your career.
