This section highlights critical warnings, common pitfalls, irreversible decisions, and other crucial information that can make or break your F1 23 experience. Read this before diving in to save time, frustration, and regret.
⚠️ Irreversible Choices & Missable Content
#### Braking Point 2 – Chapter Progression
- Missable: Braking Point 2 is a linear narrative campaign with 16 chapters. You cannot replay individual chapters from the main menu; you must start a new playthrough or reload a manual save from before a specific chapter. The only way to experience a different outcome is to create a separate save slot before key decision points (marked by branching dialogue choices).
- Irreversible Decisions: Certain story choices affect character relationships and post-story scenes. For example, deciding to support Aiden or Devon in Chapter 9 permanently alters post-season interactions. Always save manually before a branching choice.
- No Chapter Select: There is no New Game+ or chapter select for Braking Point 2. Once you finish the story, you must restart to see alternate endings or missed moments.
- F1 World features daily, weekly, and seasonal events. Unlike My Team or Career, these events have expiration dates. If you miss a weekly challenge that rewards a unique livery or part upgrade, that item is gone forever (at least until the next season, if ever repeated). Check the in-game calendar regularly.
- Season Pass/Tier Rewards: Rewards from the Battle Pass (unlocked with Podium Pass purchase or free track) are only available during that season. Unclaimed tiers after the season ends are lost. Complete all 50 tiers before the season deadline.
- Once you sign a driver or staff member (engineer, aerodynamicist, etc.) in My Team, you cannot cancel the contract mid-season. You must wait until the contract expires (typically 1–2 seasons). If you accidentally sign a low-performing driver, you are stuck with them for the remainder of their contract.
- Tip: Always save before negotiating contracts. Read the performance clauses and length carefully. Short-term (1-year) contracts are safer for early seasons when you may want to upgrade staff frequently.
- In Driver Career, your initial team choice is permanent for at least the first season. You cannot request a mid-season transfer unless you have a contract clause (unlocked later). If you choose a backmarker team like Haas or Williams, you will be fighting for P15–P20 every race for the first half of the season, which can be frustrating for newcomers. Pick a midfield team (e.g., Alpine, Aston Martin) for a more balanced difficulty.
