#Motorsport manager personality traits drivers
So, other than the ability to put up with the politics of a racing team, what makes a Formula One driver unique? Most drivers share many qualities, including strength, endurance, mental alertness, quick reflexes and a desire to be the best race car driver in the world. This practice is technically against the regulations, but it's difficult to enforce. In some cases, a team may ask a driver to let his teammate overtake him or even win the race. A Formula One driver is out to beat his rivals, including the other driver on his team. You might think this creates an atmosphere of support and camaraderie, but that's not necessarily the case. DriversĮach Formula One team has two drivers. The chief of R&D heads up automotive-innovation projects, exploring new materials and technologies that can keep his team ahead of the competition. Each team typically employs two chief designers - one for the current season and one for the next season. The chief designer determines the basic layout of the car, as well as the materials that will be used to build it. The chief aerodynamicist oversees a whole squad of aerodynamicists who dedicate themselves to making sure the car design reduces air resistance, yet creates the right amount of downforce.
The chief aerodynamicist, chief designer and chief of research and development report to the technical director. In many respects, the technical director is more important than the driver because a fast car is such a high priority in Formula One. The technical director heads up the crew of engineers, designers and R&D scientists who construct the cars. Main sponsors can pay handsomely - on the order of $50 million - for the privilege of having their brands displayed on a Formula One car. One of his main jobs is to determine levels of sponsorship and placement of logos on the car. The commercial director attracts sponsors and seals the deals. Commercial DirectorĪ Formula One team must effectively manage the commercial and technical aspects of the business. A famous owner-boss of the past was Enzo Ferrari, who founded his team in the 1940s and stayed on as boss even after Fiat bought Ferrari in 1968. Two well-known owner-bosses are Ron Dennis of McLaren and Frank Williams of Williams F1. With so many precocious and handsomely paid drivers, you need to make sure that they fit. Team management is key to creating a winning team.
With so much at stake, team owners are almost always the team boss. Team harmony is as important as having fast cars. Unfortunately I have yet to find a regent/newgen driver with Wonderkid.Other teams are privately owned, and the owners usually founded the team and risked their own finances to get a car ready to compete. Even though potential doesn't show up on the driver's characteristics, those with the +50 that comes with Wonderkid seem to mature very quickly and have mostly only good things happen to their personality. Most people have done some kind of personality or skills test at some point, especially if you’re in corporate. I think that when scouting 5 star drivers, aside from a high marketing percentage, the one thing that you want to look for is the Wonderkid trait. I let her contract expire because I wanted a challenge, then hired her back at the start of the 2032 season (when there was a spec reset), and she had yet to decline, but would only sign a 1 year deal due to retirement plans. She was paired with Lara for 5 of those 6, and was generally the faster one. I won like 6 straight titles with her, including one where she won all 16 races from the pole. I found Olga Makarova to potentially be the best driver in the game. The downside in my first run in the game is that I never hired him, so in his 16+ year career, he had 5 stars and like, 3 wins. I prefer dagur stefansson at least 3 years peak, 20 smoothness and many traits. 4.5 potential, 70+ marketability, peaks at 30, peaks for 4 years and has the racer trait (+2 stats during races) bumping her up to 5 during races. De Graaf is a potentially good long term investment, as he doesn't retire until 2031ish, and I think he doesn't decline until late. Pratrycja Kaluza (Polish, female, 3rd scouting) is also pretty good.
