What it is
F1 Manager 2022 is a racing management game from Frontier Developments, released in 2022 for Windows and Xbox Series X and Series S. You take charge of a chosen Formula 1 constructor, select from 2022 drivers and staff, and work toward season targets and longer-term goals set by the board. Between races, you manage operations from team headquarters: monitor drivers and staff, manage finances, and scout staff from rival teams. You can assign new car parts and choose an engineering approach for upcoming circuits, balancing development or focusing on particular performance areas. During races, decisions include pit strategy, tyre selection and instructions to drivers. The game is single-player and includes Steam achievements, cloud saves and family sharing; Steam lists partial controller support. Its listed genres include simulation and strategy, reflecting its focus on managing a team and making race decisions rather than driving as a competitor.
