F1 25 Trophy Guide

Unlock Details

In My Team, upgrade one of your Engineering, Personnel, or Corporate Facilities until it reaches Phase 4. Each Facility has its own Phase 4 Workforce requirement. The left number shows how many people are currently working there, while the right number is the total Workforce capacity. Focus your upgrades on improvements that increase Workforce the most. Once that Facility's Workforce reaches the Phase 4 threshold, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

You only need one Facility to reach Phase 4, so concentrate your resources instead of spreading upgrades evenly across all three. This is Formula 1 — efficiency matters everywhere, apparently even in the office.

Unlock Details

Place any sponsor decal on your car. You can do this in either F1 World or My Team. In F1 World, go to: Customisation > Car > Create New > Edit > Decal Editor Place any Sponsor decal on the car and exit the editor. In My Team, go to: Corporate > Customisation > Race Gear > Car > Decal Editor Place any Sponsor decal on the car and exit. Once the decal is applied and you leave the editor, the trophy should unlock. This may be one of the few trophies where spending five minutes making the car look better is actually productive.

Unlock Details

In My Team, choose a Title Sponsor and stick with them until you reach maximum loyalty. Loyalty builds as you complete races while signed with that sponsor, and certain Corporate Activities can give it an extra push. The important part is commitment. Do not switch Title Sponsors before the trophy unlocks, or you will be throwing away the progress you built with them. Apparently even virtual sponsors want to know you are serious about the relationship.

Tip

You can back up your save to PlayStation Plus or a USB before changing sponsors. That can help you also work toward Locked In during the same season without sacrificing your loyalty progress.

Unlock Details

In My Team, progress through all 3 contract meetings with one of your drivers. As the season moves forward, you will enter talks about their contract for the following season. Attend all three meetings and fill the negotiation progress bar. Once the bar is complete and you enter Endgame Talks, the trophy should unlock. You can check your current progress or attend a delayed meeting through: Personnel > Drivers > More Details > Go to Meeting

Tip

Check the Drivers menu occasionally if a meeting seems to have disappeared. It may simply be sitting there waiting for you while your driver wonders why the team principal stopped answering emails.

Unlock Details

In My Team, earn your first Specialisation by spending 7 skill points in Owner Training. You gain skill points by leveling up your Manager. Manager XP can be earned through race results and Activities that specifically boost Manager XP. Once you have enough points, spend 7 of them in Owner Training to unlock your first Specialisation and the trophy.

Tip

Take Manager XP Activities when they appear if you want to speed this up instead of relying only on race wins.

Unlock Details

In Driver Career, complete Tier 1 of any Accolade. Your available Accolades depend on which driver you choose. You can check them at: Driver Details > Accolades If you are using Schumacher, several Accolades start fairly close to completing Tier 1, so you have a few easy options. If you are using Verstappen, Fastest Laps or Championship Wins should be among the quicker ones to target.

Tip

Check your Accolades early in the season and pick one that is already close to Tier 1. No need to turn this into a side quest when the game is already doing half the work for you.

Unlock Details

In My Team, go to: Team Owner > Performance > Accolades Complete Tier 1 of any Accolade to unlock the trophy. The Constructors' Points Accolade should be one of the quickest options if you are consistently finishing races in 1st place, since strong results will build progress toward it naturally.

Tip

Check the Accolades menu early so you know what you are progressing toward instead of discovering five races later that you could have been working on one the whole time.

Unlock Details

In Driver Career, reach Relationship Level 3 with any Specialist. Specialists give you goals to complete, and finishing those goals earns XP toward your relationship with them. Each Specialist offers two goal choices, so pick whichever one looks easier for your current race or situation. Specialists rotate in and out during different weeks of the season, but you can accept goals from multiple Specialists at the same time. That means you can build progress with several of them instead of waiting around for one specific Specialist to return. Keep completing goals for the same Specialist whenever they are available and you can reach Relationship Level 3 during your first season. You can pause during a race to check your current progress toward any active Specialist goals.

Tip

Accept goals from multiple Specialists whenever possible. You only need one to hit Level 3, but stacking goals gives you more chances to make progress and also helps with Perk-tacular.

Unlock Details

In My Team, you need to sign with a different Title Sponsor from the one you started with. If you are using a 10-race season, the contract negotiation for next season begins after completing Week 6. When prompted, choose a new Title Sponsor instead of renewing with your current one and successfully secure the deal. You can also try making a counter-offer if it improves the chance of the sponsor accepting.

Tip

If you are also working on Brand Loyalty, consider backing up your save before switching sponsors so you do not lose progress toward maximum loyalty with your original Title Sponsor.

Unlock Details

In My Team, you need to secure a Sponsor Contract after making a more favourable counter-offer. When you are prompted to negotiate next season's Title Sponsor, choose a different sponsor from the one you currently have. Select View Counter Offers and choose the option labeled More Favourable Contract, then advance the calendar. If the sponsor declines because the acceptance chance is low, you will be given another opportunity to negotiate. At that point, select your current sponsor, choose View Counter Offers again, and pick the contract with the highest chance of acceptance. Advance the calendar and, once the sponsor accepts the new contract, the trophy should unlock.

Tip

Make a save backup immediately before starting the first contract negotiation. This gives you another shot without replaying a large chunk of My Team if the trophy fails to unlock.

Warning

This trophy has been reported as buggy, so the save backup is strongly recommended. Contract negotiations are stressful enough without the trophy system joining the negotiating table too.

Unlock Details

Start a new My Team career and complete the initial team setup. You will be asked to create your Manager, HQ, car, and overall team look. Once you finish the setup process and reach the My Team Hub, the trophy will unlock automatically. This is basically your reward for surviving the branding meeting.

Unlock Details

Win the Drivers' Championship by finishing the season with the most individual driver points. Driver points are earned by finishing races inside the Top 10, with higher finishing positions awarding more points. If you are playing against lower-difficulty AI, this should be very manageable as long as you are consistently finishing near the front. Earlier versions of F1 25 reportedly had issues with this trophy not unlocking in Driver Career, but update v1.04 appears to have fixed that behavior. Based on the information provided, MVP should now be obtainable in either Career mode.

Tip

A shorter season and lower AI difficulty can make the championship much easier to control. Build a points lead early so one bad race later does not turn the final stretch into unnecessary drama.

Unlock Details

Win the Constructors' Championship by finishing the season with the most Constructor Points. Constructor Points are the combined total of the points earned by you and your teammate. Finishing higher in races awards more points, while finishing below 10th gives no points. Choosing a team with a strong teammate, such as Red Bull or McLaren, can make this easier because both drivers can contribute consistently. It is still possible with a weaker team like Kick Sauber if you are winning enough races yourself. Earlier versions of F1 25 reportedly had issues with this trophy not unlocking in My Team, but update v1.04 appears to have fixed it. Based on the information provided, One For The Team should now be obtainable in either Career mode.

Tip

A strong teammate helps, but they are not absolutely required. If your partner is having a season to forget, enough wins from you can still drag the team to the title. Very inspirational. Very expensive for the second seat.

Unlock Details

In My Team, you need to reach maximum Sentiment, which is Tier 3. A clean method is to start a Custom Season and choose Minimal or No car Enhancements when prompted. Then focus on winning every race. With a weaker car, strong results create a much bigger positive reaction from the fans, and you should be able to reach Tier 3 Sentiment around the fourth race. You can check your current Sentiment at: Team Owner > Fan Rating The reason this works is that fans are more impressed when you are outperforming the machinery underneath you. If your car is already excellent, poor results from your second driver can hurt the team's overall perception even if you are personally winning races.

Tip

Starting with a weaker car makes this much easier. Winning with an underdog setup gets the crowd excited, because apparently dominating in the fastest car is just expected now.

Unlock Details

In Driver Career, earn a total of 4 Perks from your Specialists. Specialists give you goals to complete, which award XP toward leveling them up. Each Specialist can provide up to 3 Perks, so you will need to level at least 2 different Specialists enough to reach a total of 4 Perks. Specialists rotate in and out throughout the season, so accept goals from whichever ones are currently available and keep building XP as you progress. You do not need 4 Perks from the same Specialist. The trophy only cares about your total across all Specialists.

Tip

Keep taking Specialist goals whenever they appear instead of waiting for one specific person. Think of it as networking, except this time the rewards are actually useful.

Unlock Details

Win any race in any game mode. Simply finish in 1st place and the trophy will unlock.

Tip

If you are struggling, lower the AI difficulty and use easier race settings. There is no bonus trophy for making your first win unnecessarily painful.

Unlock Details

In My Team, research any new car part and advance the calendar until the research is complete. Once it becomes available, begin developing the part and advance the calendar again until development finishes. A successfully developed part should normally equip automatically to your drivers. If one of the parts fails or does not auto-equip, manually equip a successfully developed part to either driver to unlock the trophy.

Tip

There is no need to wait for a specific high-end upgrade. Any successfully researched and developed part will do, so knock this out naturally while improving the car.

Unlock Details

At the end of a Driver Career season, sign a new contract with any team and set the contract length to at least 2 seasons. When you reach the Set Contract Length option, choose 2 Seasons or longer, complete the signing process, and the trophy will unlock.

Tip

You can combine this naturally with finishing your first full Driver Career season, so there is no reason to rush toward a separate career just for this one.

Unlock Details

In My Team, wait until the Contract Window opens in Week 8 and begin negotiating a new Driver Contract. Choose View Counter Offers and select the lowest-percentage option, then advance the calendar. The goal is for the driver to reject that first offer so you get another chance to negotiate. When negotiations reopen, choose View Counter Offers again and this time select the option with the highest acceptance percentage. Once the driver accepts the counter-offer, the trophy should unlock.

Tip

Back up your save before making the first low-ball offer. There is always a chance the driver accepts it anyway, which is great for your budget and terrible for this trophy.

Unlock Details

In My Team, raise your Fan Rating to Level 5. Fan Rating increases by performing well in races, completing Accolades, and using Activities that specifically boost Fan Rating. Keep stacking those gains as you progress through the season and the trophy will unlock once you reach Level 5. You can check your current progress at: Team Owner > Fan Rating

Tip

Take the Fan Rating boost Activities when they appear instead of relying only on race results. A little off-track popularity farming can save you some time later.

Unlock Details

In My Team, create your Manager and choose one of the three available backgrounds: Personnel, Engineering, or Corporate. Whichever background you choose gives your Manager a free skill point tied to that area. After setup, find the matching Owner Training task in the Activity list and complete it to unlock the trophy.

Tip

You only need to complete the training tied to the background you picked, so there is no need to bounce between all three areas like an overachieving team principal on day one.
