F1 2019

Best solution for this Achievement would be to focus on it after you have unlocked: Seeing it Through to the End - Applied all vehicle upgrades from one department. (If you have managed to unlock it during your first season when doing the vehicle upgrades then well done).

This is because it's best to skip Practice sessions to speed things up when going for the Sportsman Rating Achievement.

The best way I found was when doing Qualification and you're leading the lap, if you notice one of your old F2 Rivals (Ghost Car) just behind you then try and let them get on Pole by slowing just before the finish line. If it's someone else then grab the pole yourself. This will trigger the Interview but if your F2 Rival is on Pole then a guaranteed Sportsmanship question will pop if not two questions. (I had difficulty set to 55 so maybe lower if you need to so you can slow if required or speed up if it's not a Rival looking set for Pole).

When the 5 lap race starts try and get one of your F2 Rivals in first place and slow the pack down a bit. Then catch up and trade places but eventually letting the F2 Rival win the race. If they win the race then 2/4 interview questions will pop with a chance of majority Sportsmanship answers available. If they didn't get on Pole or are too far down the pack then win the race yourself trading places and mixing with the action.

I was getting a good amount of interview questions after each qualification and race if an F2 Rival won or at the very least finished on the Podium with you winning.

I managed 6 successfully Sportsmanship answers in 1 race weekend.

Another trick is to make sure a Rival is always set from your Laptop between races. Don't beat a Rival over a specific amount of races and then leave the Rival option blank. I did this over 3 race weekends and didn't even get one single interview so always have a Rival set as this helps prompt the interviews to happen.

Also watch the above video from TheWelshHunt which is very helpful. I took screenshots on my mobile phone of the answers and used them for some of the questions. Not all Sportsmanship questions are covered though as there are many more.

Hope this helps a bit.

Just curious but which team did you do this all with and what ones were your rivals in? I'm doing my 2nd season mode playthrough just to get this achievement now and I went with Mercedes, thinking my F2 rivals would do just as well with the other two top teams.

I did this with McLaren, butler was in a haas and weber was in a racing point.. Like I said, I got lucky because racing point must have had one hell of an upgrade because he qualified on the front row with me 5 races in a row.. So obviously my team mate is one rival.. You can add another rival to go up against (back at base on screen, before you enter a session) and your old f2 rivals.. Are they not doing as well?

I'm not totally sure, but it could be as I was upgrading the my car (all powertrain upgrades as I was going for that achievement too).. I think that's where your rivals car gets upgraded too (don't count me too much on it but that's how it seemed).

Are you retiring from every session and then getting an interview or are you racing properly every weekend btw? /

Another broken achievement.

What do you mean mate? Whats happened?

Not working for me either - got max Sportsmanship but no achievement

Edit: I think Xbox Live was being a bit flaky. I dropped Sportsmanship down a bit in the next race, then maxed it out again and achievement popped. Phew!!!

Does the bar have to go all the way to the end for the achievement to pop? Even when I do sportsmanship answers the bar looks like it hardly moves.

Yeah all the way to the end..
It does that as you get towards the end.. it's frustrating to be fair but it was the same for me..
The closer you get to the end, the less the bar moves.
Just keep going and you will get it mate I promise that lol

Ok cheers dude. I’ve had some luck this evening with Weber qualifying & finishing behind me in 2nd in the last 3 races. I’m on the 4th arrow from the left so it shouldn’t take me much longer I wouldn’t imagine.

Good stuff mate!
Yeah, keep that up and hopefully wont be too long :)

Got it done after the Mexican GP in my 2nd season. Got to do the Showmanship one now :(

Nicely done mate!
Its a pain in the ass aint it i found having to do both lol
But you got this man!
Playing music, or films in the background helped me a ton when i got bored.. little tip for you lol

Yeah onehand im with you.. The same for showmanship which personally i found worse.
I wouldn't mind if it was one or the other, but to have to go through like 2, 3, 4 maybe even 5 seasons, just ended up hating it in all honesty.

Max and don't pop, i loved this cheevos

Having popped this today, I'd just add the following comment:

The tracker bar is longer than it appears / you may think, so keep going if you are close

I reached what I thought was the end of the tracker bar on the post qually / race results tracker, but nothing had popped

I then noticed the tracker bar on the Driver Profile screen was not showing as full, so kept completing events until this looked filled

Once I had the driver profile tracker looking "full" and it hadn't unlocked, I was thinking it had glitched on me

Having got this close, I decided I may as well keep going and did 2 further qualifying sessions and it did register, crept up a bit further and finally unlocked

As stated elsewhere, it will pop after the answer has been given

Hope that helps anyone worried about this one

I can't change the timer to answer the questions. Everytime I try, all options are grayed out.

To change the options you need to be between race weekends. So wait until your race weekend has finished, and be ready to go to options during the next loading screen!

Thank you @Reb3l. It seemed bugged for me as I hit the full bar and did several more interviews, but I read your comment and tried it out. Answered one question as a showman, then one as a sportsman and it unlocked immediately.

Thank you @REB3L. The same happens to me. Your procedure works to solve the problem.
