Frontier Developments, the studio of David Braben already author of management titles such as Jurassic World and Planet Coaster, today announced the development of F1 Manager 2022, a new management / simulation coming in the summer that will put us in the shoes of a team manager committed to bringing his brand to victory.

F1 Manager 2022 challenges us to take on a leadership role in the world's most exciting motorsport competition, becoming the team principal of one of the ten teams in the 2022 edition of the FIA Formula One World Championship, and competing on official circuits over the course of multiple seasons, hiring real drivers and engineers, expanding our headquarters and becoming the dominant F1 team.

In the game we will have to supervise the daily management of an F1 team, tracing long-term strategies or making decisions in a matter of seconds to guide our team to victory. Rivalries, sponsors, regulatory changes... these are just some of the challenges to overcome to get the best out of the race weekend, where we can develop and implement the perfect strategy for success.

Here are the main features of the game:

• CAREER: BECOME NUMBER ONE - Write a new page in the modern history of Formula 1®. Become team principal of an F1® team and lead it to glory on the official 2022 calendar and subsequent seasons. Will you choose a noble team to aim immediately at the top step of the podium or will you start from a minor team to climb positions on the grid? Satisfy the board by achieving seasonal and long-term goals. Support and grow your drivers or hunt for new faces among the real talents of F1®, F2â„¢ and F3â„¢. Shape your team within your budget, make delicate decisions, and lay the foundation for a winning cycle.
• HEADQUARTERS: BUILD THE TEAM - The constructors' team is the beating heart of the sports division. Between races, you'll work at headquarters to manage every aspect of the team. Analyze the performance of drivers and technicians, keep the accounts in surplus and snatch their best talents from rival teams. Renew and maintain state-of-the-art facilities, such as wind tunnels or design centers, to increase your team's potential.
• THE FACTORY: CREATE THE PERFECT CAR - Work directly on the new cars of the 2022 season and race closely with your opponents. Prepare new technical solutions in anticipation of the race weekend. Choose the approach to follow in development to improve performance on individual tracks. Do you prefer to aim for a balanced car, focus on the weak points or excel in specific technical aspects? Fine-tune every single component with cutting-edge technologies to unleash your car's full potential and let your opponents eat the dust.
• THE RACE: PLAN AND IMPLEMENT YOUR STRATEGY - From turning off the traffic lights to the checkered flag, you are in charge. Guided by your decisions! It all depends on you: from the strategy of pit stops to the choice of tires, including communications with the driver. Listen to suggestions from engineers and drivers to draw up a race plan, but with the knowledge that the unexpected is the order of the day, from the weather to the safety car. Immerse yourself in a hyper-realistic simulation of an official F1® race, presented in the same visual style as a live event. Use the data at your disposal to make crucial decisions on a razor's edge, the outcome of which can lead you to a disastrous defeat or a landslide victory.

More details about the game will be released in the coming weeks; we leave you to the announcement trailer and a first set of images.
