F1 24: 10 drivers with highest Awareness, ranked

EA Sports ranks the drivers in F1 24 based on a bunch of different characteristics. The first is Racecraft, which is a driver's ability to work through the pack. Experience is the second one and takes results into account. It contributes to the early and mid-stages of a driver's career.

Pace is the third characteristic, based on which drivers are ranked. It determines how fast they tend to complete laps; those with a higher Pace rating will drive faster and take less time to make a lap.

Lastly, there's Awareness, which is how often a certain driver will commit errors that cost them time penalties. Those with a high rating in terms of this attribute will find themselves avoiding the stewards' room more often. Since this is an extremely important characteristic, here are the top 10 drivers with the highest Awareness in F1 24, ranked.

Verstappen is one of the best at avoiding errors, as his Awareness rating of 94 stands above everyone else but one driver. However, what truly steals the show is his 98 Racecraft, which allows him to outright beat almost any driver in a race. He has one of the highest driver ratings in F1 24.

1) Valtteri Bottas

Bottas must see things in slow motion thanks to his ridiculously high Awareness rating of 97. However, his Pace and Racecraft ratings of 83 and 72, respectively, leave a lot to be desired. If Bottas was just a little faster and had some tricks up his sleeve, he'd be one of the best drivers in F1 24.
