Instruct your drivers how hard to pushEvery aspect of your team is under your control. If anything, the effect is that F1 Manager 22 feels more like an officially F1 product than even Codemasters’ racing title can at times. Thankfully, every part of the game drips authenticity, with the slick menu system looking as if it was designed by FOM’s graphics team themselves. Be prepared to spend countless hours shifting through menus. This is truly shaping up to be the closest thing to a ‘Football Manager for F1’ motorsport fans have seen. But while some will be disappointed with those limitations, the gameplay has more than enough depth to it to help make your save an immersive one whichever team you opt for.Īdvert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free To pre-empt the inevitable questions: No, you cannot create your own team in the game and once you choose which team you’ll be taking over, you’re locked in and cannot switch between teams within a save if you fancy a different challenge or get fired. Available on PC, Xbox One and Series S|X and PlayStation 4 and 5, Frontier’s developers promise the game will offer the same core experience between PC and console with all systems and menus designed to work just as well with a controller as with a keyboard and mouse. When it is released on August 25th, F1 Manager 22 will allow players to take over the role of team principal of any of the ten existing F1 teams and try to bring them up to compete for both the drivers and constructors’ championships over multiple seasons. You make the car development decisionsSo when Frontier Developments invited RaceFans to their Cambridge studios to get a hands-on preview of their brand new F1 Manager 22, the one question that came to mind was ‘is this the F1 management simulation game players have been waiting for?’. Sega dipped their toes into the genre with 2017’s solid Motorsport Manager by PlaySport Games, but anyone who has wanted to take control of one of the same ten teams they see compete every grand prix weekend in a game has had to wait a long time for that opportunity. ![]() ![]() Yes, there have been plenty of unofficial browser-based games and forgettable mobile manager games like F1 Clash, but if you’ve wanted a ‘full fat’ manager game based around the world’s most popular motorsport, you’ve only had the old classics like Grand Prix Manager 2 and Grand Prix World to go with. But while what happens back at the factory often matters more to a Formula 1 team’s success than what they do on the track, it’s been over 20 years since the last officially licensed F1 management game allowed players to virtually assume the role of team principal for themselves.
