F1 25: Career Mode beginner guide
Choose the right starting challenge in Driver Career or My Team.
Overview
EA's 2026 master guide recommends a top-tier team as an easier starting point, a midfield team for a moderate challenge and My Team for the most demanding management-focused route.
How it works
A stronger starting car lets a new player focus on core driving rather than compensating for performance deficits. My Team adds budgets, facilities, personnel and technical development on top of driving.
Practical tips and limits
Match the career start to what you want to learn. Do not choose the hardest management path if your main goal is still basic driving consistency.
