We're being treated to not one but two Formula One games this summer, and each one takes a different approach to the popular motorsport. F1 22 is Codemasters' traditional yearly racing title that puts players behind the wheel. On the other hand, we have F1 Manager 2022, a brand new management sim that puts you in the shoes of the team principal. Frontier Developments has just debuted gameplay in the new trailer, embedded above.
While the game will of course feature (simulated) racing action, you won't be driving any of the vehicles. Instead, you're behind the scenes, plotting strategies and aiming to secure a win by calling the shots — when to pit, what tyres to use, which drivers and teammates to hire, etc. The gameplay looks pretty intense, presenting you with a huge amount of data while races play out.
So, if you're more into charts and tactics than racing the cars yourself, it might be worth giving this a look. F1 Manager 2022 comes to PS5 and PS4 on 30th August, but if you pre-order, you'll be able to start playing from the 25th August. Are you keen for this management sim? Give us your analysis in the comments section below.

I personally feel they could have sold this as an add-on to the already F1 game coming out to save money for people, if FIFA can do a career mode I'm sure they could do the same with this.
This looks amazing, first day purchase for sure.
@hoffa007 Different developer and totally different type of game.
As an F1 fan and football manager stalwart I'm pretty up for this.
Is there any word on pricing? My general impression so far is £70 would be really cheeky.
This looks so much better than I thought it would, day one buy for sure despite the slightly disappointing late summer release date. Very, very excited for this.
@pumpkin_head £43 if ur a ps plus subscriber till 30th August otherwise £47.99
Is there a Michael Masi Mode?
It looks absolutely incredible. Had high expectations and, based on this, it is matching them. Super hyped
@get2sammyb fair enough
Initial thoughts - commentary could be limited, leading to repetition. However the in car voices sound brilliant, and my god races actually look good (presuming thats not just an intro video only). It would be a shame for them not to include driving, however I guess licenses prevent that. Still, defo one to wait for the actual reviews post launch, as it could either be brilliant or limited.

Not too bad I suppose. Still feels like they are banking on people playing a slight premium for the brand.
I'll probably get it the first week if it reviews well.
@pumpkin_head yeh definitely even if it's crap it will sell cause it's F1 but I'm hoping it's good tbh
I see a rare day 1 purchase incoming
