Following the commercial success of Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo, Frontier Developments signed an exclusive licensing deal to release four Formula One management video games.[1] It marked the first motorsport title for Frontier Developments.[2] The series was released at an annual pace.[3]
The first video game of the series, F1 Manager 2022, was released in 2022.[4] It marked the first Formula One licensed management game since F1 Manager of EA Sports in 2000.[5] In the second entry, F1 Manager 2023, the game engine was updated from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5.[6] The latest entry, F1 Manager 2024, was released in July 2024.[7] This entry introduced "Create A Team" mode, which is similar to the "My Team" feature of the F1 series by Codemasters and EA sports, that allows players to create their own team.[8] The game was released on Nintendo Switch for the first time.[9]

The first two games in the series both received "generally favorable" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic, but they underperformed commercially.[16] F1 Manager 2022 sold around 600,000 copies as of January 2023, and F1 Manager 2023 also underperformed. This did not meet Frontier's expection,[17] and the company's share price dropped by forty percent.[18][19] This also contributed to layoffs at Frontier Foundry, Frontier's publishing operations, in an organisational review.[20] In response to the series' underperformance, the next entry, F1 Manager 2024, was priced lower in comparison to Codemasters' F1 24.[21]
