I quote part of a conversation between myself and the developers that explicitly tells the gameplay of F1 Online.

[*]Content Question on the game's Management Mode:
Hi there, I have signed up to the beta, and not recieved an invite yet, so since I can't find out for myself, I would like to ask if;
The Management Features be Team Boss only, and not driver and would this be online? If not, I would not be interested in this game and continue to play other Online f1-style management games.
Looking forward to your feedback!

[*]In F1 Online you are both the team boss and driver of the car. At this time you have to perform both roles though we are considering ways in which players may be able to perform one role or the other in the future.
