Don’t know if it’s even up to discussion but I don’t see a multiplayer component to this game.
Obviously you could start a season with friends (who are managing other teams) and then everyone would go about their business in between races. Once everyone has locked in that they’re ready for the race weekend everyone is competing against each other.
Obviously there would be a lot of waiting in between weekends and sessions and you could only progress with the other people online.
Now that I’m writing it, it sounds kinda compelling.
Not something I personally would be interested in though. Manager games for me are to relax for myself and not worry about others.

Personally i like to see Co-op/multiplayer. That your mate js gonna be another team and fight against eachother in the standings. Or you can manage a team together. And that one of us manages driver 1 and the other one manages driver 2. And out side of the race you can discuss and can both upgrade and do everything.

For me: Look at Football Manager, on the same PC it's just hotseat mode (so a hot seat mode here too), you pause and press something to change what team you're making strategy for (FM has a thing with the club logo that you press).. And to advance you go through everything on Team 1, press advance and then it's team 2s time to do everything before advancing. Host/Player 1 stops advancing or if someone has an important message
If not on the same PC/System you have the 10 people do everything at the same time, once someone is ready you press continue and once everyone presses continue you move forward until someone stops it (or an important message pops up for someone), FM also has a timer so if you put it at like 5 minutes you will be forced to advance after 5 minutes... Game speed can be set in settings as well for a minimum speed that has to be set, so maybe say that you have to have it at 2x or 8x speed.. But you could also have a "host control" option where the host of the session is the one deciding the speed (this is what I would want since if you play with a friend or two you'll be in a chat most likely anyways)
Split screen could work too, that would use the same as "online" when it comes to advancing/speed settings rather than hotseat

It would be fun to have the ability to create a F1 Manager League system where you can have 10 managers competing against each other in all aspects of the current Single Player game. With that, you should be able to schedule your "race weekends" and time advancement days or have a feature/features akin to Madden's Online/Connected Franchise Modes.
It would also be pretty interesting to do a cooperative management where you and a friend are the race engineers for each driver during practice and races and both participate in the other management aspects and have to discuss things and operate together to further the car and the team throughout the season.

For me it could be Steam play together (same screen with 2 cursors) - built-in Steam feature, super easy compared to normal multiplayer to add. (and no bugs!) - easy ass version (my friend did not buy this one due to not having a coop and I almost did not as well and not sure about 24's one but if has it we will 100% get it with something this simple you open up to whole new audience)
Or more in-depth could be while you're not in races being able to go to different screens and change stuff and then able to open menus for strategy etc. - hard version to add
(with the ability to focus on either drive in races which I want anyways) - didnt realise sorry about the ping
