Two Scenario Modes
In addition to the release date and pricing, new information on the game's scenario modes have been given: F1 Manager 2023 will feature two scenario modes that put players in control of an F1 team in scenarios aiming to reproduce real-life events at the Grands Prix, with new ones being added after every Formula 1 race weekend.Scenarios aim to recreate events happening in real Grands Prix in F1 Manager 2023.

In Starting Grid mode, players guide a team through a full GP using the grid positions and weather conditions of the real event. On the other hand, Race Moments gets more specific and challenges players with specific in-race scenarios to achieve an objective by the end of the race.
In all scenarios and other game modes, a new tire model makes players assess risk and reward. The system takes the track surface and tire carcass temperatures into account, making decisions on when to make your drivers push and when to tell them to take it easy more critical than before.
