While waiting for F1 Manager 2022 , the video game that every motorsport and Formula 1 lover is waiting for, and which will go on sale on August 30 (25 for those who have previously reserved it), new details are already known.
The company that has developed the game, Frontier, presented the ratings of the initial pilots and also of the team leaders in the new management simulation game, which is officially licensed and will be playable on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and can also be purchased on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Each driver’s overall ranking is influenced by a combination of nine performance ratings, all determined by actual racing data.
“Each performance rating is calculated using multiple data points, creating a data-driven rating spanning past performances and up to the current 2022 season.”

As you can see, the two drivers who played for the title in 2021, Hamilton and Verstappen , are the highest rated drivers in the game (with an average of 90), two points above the next, a Leclerc who is also being the protagonist this year in the Red Bull-Ferrari fight.
The ‘second’ swords of these two teams, Sainz and Checo Pérez , tie with 87 points, and it is striking that it is the same valuation that Bottas has. The two most promising young Britons, Norris and Russell , have an average of 86, more than the two-time world champion Alonso , who is showing a very high level this season despite his almost 41 years. In fact, the Spaniard has the same average as his teammate in Alpine, Esteban Ocon .
It is striking how far away Sebastian Vettel is from four-time world champion, with only a PIR of 82, also behind Ricciardo and Gasly , both with 84. Albon and Magnussen , with an average of 80, are the last to exceed 79, a PIR they have Stroll and Zhou . The worst F1 driver in the game, a whopping 17 points behind Hamilton and Verstappen, is Nicholas Latifi , on 73.
However, those ratings will be updated as the game progresses, to reflect the level that the players and their pilots are showing.
It is striking, however, that the highest rated reserve driver, the former Alfa Romeo Giovinazzi , has a better score than two regular drivers, while Latifi is outperformed by three other substitute drivers.
What do the ‘Pace’, ‘Consistency’ and ‘Racecraft’ values mean in F1 Manager 2022?
The average ratings have three other sections that measure the quality of the drivers in F1 Manager 2022: ‘Pace’, ‘Consistency’ and ‘Racecraft’.
The ‘Pace’ is the pace of the pilots, the pure speed of the pilot, and is measured with the following values: his ability in Corners , Braking and Reaction capacity at the wheel.
‘Consistency’ sums up the regularity of a driver, his ability to always maintain the same level. It is measured with the following values: Accuracy , Control and Smoothness , and the higher the value, the less probability of piloting error there will be.
The so-called ‘ Racecraft ‘ is the art of piloting, which allows pilots to adapt to changing conditions. It is summarized with the values Adaptability , Overtaking and Defense .
In addition, each driver has an ‘Aggressiveness’ value, which determines how likely he is to attempt an overtake, even at the risk of causing an accident in the race.
