F1 Manager 2022 has been a long time coming for avid fans of motorsport – you have to go all the way back to 2000 when EA released the last official F1 management game. But with the genre having come such a long way in that time, does F1 Manager 2022 do enough to secure its seat for years to come, or does it spin off the track a few more times than is ideal for a rookie in their debut season?

There’s a lot of setup before getting into your first race as there’s a ton of emails and car development screens to sift through and analyse, but when you do eventually send your drivers out onto the track, you’ll be blown away. Sports management games aren’t exactly well known for their graphical fidelity, but whether you’re hurtling round a rainy Monaco with the spray from the cars blasting the camera pod, or you’re watching the cinematic camera view as cars glide past the neon lights at night in Singapore, almost every moment is built for the highlight reel.
