F1 Manager 2022 presents the sport's behind-the-scenes and the races engagingly and innovatively for fans. Finally, I could see how much effort and organizational skills are worth the results and how hard it is to stay on top. The Manager has its flaws, yet for a debut, it's a very entertaining title that fans of the F1 series and strategy games, in general, shouldn't miss. For it brings a fresh style of entertainment.

To that end, I love Motorsport Manager, but really I played it because it was the closest modern sim that had something akin to Formula One cars. F1 Manager 2022 drives a perfect line by clearly taking some inspiration both from that game as well as from the series' own (distant) past, but it feels like something fresh. Every element of it feels refined in a way that is clearly specific to the real-life sport, and it is both defined by and pays homage to reality. It's a game that has shockingly few true flaws, and while it is also very much geared toward a specific crowd, I had a great time elevating Haas to (just a little bit more) glory.

Always wanted to be the new Max Verstappen, but you can't? Maybe managing a Formula 1 team is something for you. In F1 Manager 2022 you can work as a manager of an F1 team. The choices are endless and the influence you can exert as a manager feels realistic. However, you will sometimes drown in the choices you can and must make and it plays a little less pleasantly on the consoles than on the PC.

F1 Manager 2022 has the potential to lead a successful franchise. You are getting an understanding of the toughness of being a Formula 1 manager, and at the same time, you are getting a great experience. Not a shabby start for an inaugural game. However, the game is severely lacking in content, so unless you’re a hardcore fan of Formula 1, the game doesn’t offer much replayability. Perhaps, we will get more in the next game.

F1 Manger 2022 is a strong management game that eases you into the role of managing your entire F1 team. On the get-go, you get introduced to the basics, but the more complex options are for you to find out. Some implementations leave room for improvement, especially the handling of DRS and tyre-choices. The races are visualized excellently. ideal for those new or interested in the sport, but those that find themselves experts might find it lacking in tweaking options.

So there we have it. F1 Manager 2022 review done and dusted. So what do I think about the game? Personally, it’s great. There is plenty to keep you interested. Yes there are going to be some people that don’t quite get on with the amount of stats and everything else involved, and that is fine. Any F1 fan though should really give this a play. Being able to manage your own team is the thing of dreams. Just don’t stand for it if anyone “fok smash your door” F1 Manager 2022 receives the Thumb Culture Gold Award

A game that takes management to the F1 with great elements that make it shine. Certainly, there are aspects to polish but this could jump start an IP in the right way.

F1 Manager 2022 is a strong first entry in Frontier's new series, filling a niche that's been sorely lacking on PlayStation for years. Capturing the spirit of Formula 1 with its strong attention to detail, there's some thrilling races to be had and we're impressed by how well it handles race days with its 3D engine. As a management sim, it's a slow burner and we do wish you could create your own teams, but it still holds a distinct charm of its own. If you've got the patience for the long haul, F1 fans won't want to miss this.

Tense and involving, if just slightly lacking smarts and spectacle. A firm foundation to build a series on.

There’s a lot to get your head around, but for those who put in the time and effort to learn every aspect, this will be wondrously rewarding.

F1 Manager 2022 seems to not have left Early Access entirely. There’s still much to improve, but you have to remember that this is the very first edition of the game – and as such, it lays solid foundations for the future.

F1 Manager 2022 is certainly a decent effort; a well-worked management experience that does a lot right - Frontier must be applauded for that. But move away from the stats and you find a numbers-powered management game that just falls short of those higher podium steps.
