PS4 / PS5
A strong start in F1 Manager 2022 covers much of the race work while leaving resources for development targets. Pick a team that can win and immediately check the strongest driver and pit crew stats. Focusing those investments avoids catching up dozens of points across several attributes late in the season.
27 base trophies per native version. This roadmap is for Frontier’s 2022 management game, not F1 22.
- Online: The list is completed in offline Career.
- Platforms: Native PS4 and PS5 lists, both with 27 trophies.
- Long-term goals: Maxed Design Centre, 18 active engineers and two attributes at 100.
Set the race strategy and sponsor guarantee
Before the first Grand Prix, check the board’s priorities and set a tyre plan from the race menu. Pick a sponsor guarantee suited to the team: it helps fund development, but selecting it is not enough without the result. Work towards pole and points with a fast car. Finish with both cars where possible and check the summary before simulating other sessions.
- Start scouting and wait for the report to finish for Eye For Talent.
Keep podiums and wins in the same Career
Build the Drivers’ title around your strongest driver, but use the second car to score Constructors’ points. Track ten podiums and ten victories in the same save. During races, check tyre wear and traffic before confirming a stop: an undercut only helps if you emerge in clean air. Even after mathematically clinching a title, finish the final Grand Prix.
- At year end, check the board’s season and long-term objectives.
Max out the Design Centre
Fund Design Centre upgrades when the budget can cover the work already in progress. At maximum level, expand the engineering department in the Staff menu. For 18 engineers, set up three overlapping six-person projects and check that none finishes before the others are assigned. Use at least one project to manufacture a new part and fit it to the car.
- Verify the facility level and total engineers working, not merely hired.
Raise one driver and one pit crew stat to 100
Find the driver attribute closest to 100 and concentrate development points on it. For the pit crew, also choose a high stat and set training to focus on that category. Do not spread the work across all attributes if you are targeting the trophy. After reaching 100, run another race if the pit crew trophy has not unlocked.
- These are separate targets; check both Driving Master and Well-Oiled Machine.
Finish research, the vote and a contract
Vote when the regulation proposal arrives and use research to prepare a part for next year. Wait for the project to finish; starting it is not enough for Forward Thinker. For Done Deal, finish signing a driver or staff member separately from scouting. Before leaving the save, review all board panels because the long-term target can extend beyond the first season.
- If only an upgrade or attribute is missing, keep the save and continue until it registers.
