MyTeam Career Mode gives you some tough choices but guarantees your success in F1 22. Before you get to the setup, it’s important to understand the choices this mode gives you to build an individual character or team.
The Career Mode in F1 22 is a full-fledged toolbox that lets you customize your gameplay. Let’s get straight to some helpful tips that can improve your experience.
1. Pick the Right Answers During the Interview
The Will Buxton interview may seem like a gimmick to you, designed to make the career mode feel more realistic, but this interview seriously impacts your F1 22 career.
The department you praise during the interview will have its morale boosted, and it will make its parts cheaper for you. Ensure to answer the questions during this interview carefully to get a nice headstart.
2. Sign with the Right Sponsor
While choosing a sponsor, go for the one offering you the most on the starting fee. The goals these sponsors give you may look difficult at first, but by the end of the season, these are easily achievable.
Having the biggest starting budget from your sponsors means you can purchase the best engine and get a top-tier driver.
3. Getting a Driver
You can go for your favorite driver if they are up on the list, but we recommend going for a cheaper one to free up the budget for better engine or facility upgrades from the start. We recommend going for Oscar Piastri, the best rookie driver in the field.
4. Durability
The durability department is responsible for maintaining your car’s engine. This means you incur fewer penalties for switching out and taking extra parts. Near the second half of the season, take extra engine parts and keep them for later use.
If you stack your penalties in one race, they will only affect you for that event. This takes the pressure off of the Durability Department, as you will have plenty of spare engines, allowing you to save those resource points to make your car lighter in the corners. Note that low durability will affect your teammate, so use caution.
5. Activities Area
Activities update within race weekend and can vary from a few weeks to two days of team activities. Ensure you partake in these activities to earn lots of team acclaim, money, and resource points.
6. Boost Focus Whenever You Can
In F1 22, a mechanic associated with your crew is called “Focus”. This mechanic governs how good or how bad your crew performs on the track.
While playing through MyTeam, you’ll make many decisions that will directly impact your crew’s focus. Make sure to prioritize their Focus above everything else and plan your decisions accordingly.
If your #2 driver has low Focus, it’ll be a serious problem for you when you reach the game’s later stages.
To see how your crew is doing, open up the Personnel HQ and see what you can upgrade to keep them focused and content.
7. Farming R&D Points
The R&D points are used to upgrade your car’s components and the facilities your crew uses. Luckily, farming R&D is not that difficult in F1 22. All you need to do is play the Quick Practice mini-game. This mini-game is an excellent way to farm R&D in F1 22 MyTeam.
8. Upgrade Facilities
Facilities are important in F1 22. Therefore, when you jump into the Career Mode and see what facilities are already upgraded and which are lacking behind, upgrade them all equally.
9. Career Mode Events
Before every race weekend, you will be asked to participate in the Pirelli Hot Lap. These events let you jump into any supercar and complete the given objectives. Though you can ignore these events and get straight to your practice sessions, we recommend you go through with the events. After completing the hot laps, you will earn acclaim and money based on how well you performed.
10. Practice Programs
Practice programs are the most important part of F1 Weekend as they help you gain almost all your resource points. These resource points help you buy upgrades that make your car go faster.
You can also use Quick Practice to tick off the bonus challenges.
