Hopefully, Frontier Developments will address some of the current issues with updates. With some fine-tuning of the AI, the game could own the sim racing manager game niche. This is a good start for a game that seems poised to be the start of a new franchise. Despite current shortcomings, F1 Manager 2022 does make you feel like a manager of an F1 team.

Being a racing and management game fan, I was looking forward to this F1 Manager 2022. On the whole, I was not disappointed. The title developed by Frontier Developpements has once again proven its know-how. We find a very complete management experience with a successful integration of the discipline and even a little more with the young drivers. The internal camera during the sessions on the track is simply amazing and the game offers a good visual identity. Nevertheless, I would have hoped to be able to start my career in a lesser discipline to climb the ladder, a better management of the AI in races and maybe a greater level of realism in the accidents on the track. However, I can't hide the fact that I am very excited that such a prestigious license is in the hands of such a talented team. The base is there, it only remains to refine.

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.

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.

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

This brilliant simulator is capable of offering a great balance between accessibility and complexity. Any Formula 1 lover in general will enjoy the team management that this title has. Some details can be improved, but it is still a game as entertaining as it is addictive.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
