  • Medium: 40-59
  • Hard: 60-79
  • Expert: 80-89
  • Master: 90-94

To change the difficulty level in F1 22, players need to head to the Simulation Settings menu. This will allow them to make changes to Career, My Team, Grand Prix, and other modes with AI races.

Aside from simply confirming the number for the difficulty level, Simulation Settings allows for many other adjustments to can make races incredibly difficult or an absolute breeze. These are as follows:

  • Surface Type
  • Recovery Mode
  • Car Damage
  • Car Damage Rate
  • Low Fuel Mode
  • Race Starts
  • Collisions

The settings can either be made to reflect a relastic racing simulation in F1 22, or they can be dialed back a bit to make things very easy. It all depends on the option and the player's preference.

The difficulty settings in the game cannot be altered while in the middle of a race. Once the race begins, players will be locked and will not be able to toggle the settings. Thus, players need to decide what Simulation Settings and AI Difficulty they want to have prior to approaching the starting line.
