F1 Manager 2022 developer will help students design F1 cars of the future

F1 Manager 2022 will immerse you into the world of F1 with you stepping into the role of Team Principal managing one of the official F1 teams. In the run-up to release in August, Frontier Developments has partnered with F1 in Schools to help students design the F1 car of the future.
