The F1 Manager 2022 ratings span all three of the major FIA tiers, because while you can’t manage a team in Formula 2 or 3, drivers in those disciplines will develop over time and progress into the upper echelon in this sports management game. There are also reserve drivers for the current F1 teams, who may be racing in other series like Formula E or Le Mans, but these aren’t simulated in-game.
So who is the highest rated driver in F1 Manager 2022, the debut title for this racing game series? Which of the promising youngsters in the feeder series should you try to sign for your team based on their ratings? Ranging from the low 30s in F3 to the highest rating of 90 in F1, these are all of the F1 Manager 2022 driver ratings and the team they represent.
F1 driver ratings
Including the reserves, there are 30 drivers in the F1 category, though only 20 are actively racing at the start of the game, as each team also has a reserve driver.
Driver | Team | Rating |
Lewis Hamilton | Mercedes | 90 |
Max Verstappen | Red Bull Racing | 90 |
Charles Leclerc | Ferrari | 88 |
Valtteri Bottas | Alfa Romeo | 87 |

Robert Kubica | Alfa Romeo (Reserve) | 69 |
Liam Lawson | AlphaTauri (Reserve) | 68 |
Jack Aitken | Williams (Reserve) | 66 |
Pietro Fittipaldi | Haas (Reserve) | 66 |
F2 driver ratings
The F2 championship has 22 drivers, including some promising names that have already been linked to F1 seats such as Theo Pourchaire and Felipe Drugovich. One thing to note is that Liam Lawson also drives in F2 in real life, but due to each team in F1 needing a reserve driver in-game, he’s classed by his secondary role as the AlphaTauri reserve. Roy Nissany and Logan Sargent are both Williams reserve drivers in real life too, but since Jack Aitken is the only one assigned in-game, they return to their primary roles as drivers in F2.
