In F1 Manager 2022, the categories of aerodynamics and powertrain are divided into separate subcategories. The chassis, front and rear wings, sidepods, the underfloor, and the suspension are all included in aerodynamics.

If your team doesn’t already create its own powertrain, you may also buy and swap out powertrain components including the engine, ERS, and gearbox, as well as select an engine provider.

Since Alpine, Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes build their own powertrains, changing the engine supplier for these teams is not an option.

Considerations for each powertrain include factors like power and fuel economy, as well as heat resistance and yearly expenditures.

With a 90% power rating, a 55% heat resistance rating, and a 45% ERS durability, the Mercedes engine excels in all areas.

However, it is one of the most costly engine suppliers and also has a very short gearbox lifetime, with an annual cost of $20,000,000.
