The finest opportunity to change ranks during a race is on the opening lap; in this guide we'll you how to start out strong in F1 22.

In contrast, a poor start might cause you to be swiftly overtaken by cars for which you out-qualified. Consequently, making a strong start is among F1 22's most crucial skills.

What you should know though, There isn't much you can do to significantly improve matters if assisted starts, automated gears, and complete traction control are standard.

Your settings will determine how well you start, let's help you get the best settings to have that good start.

With a strong start, those who have manual gears and either minimal or no traction control may truly optimize their race. However, there are several optimal start strategies for medium and no TC, so let's discuss each of these separately.

When using the medium throttle, starting requires quick reflexes and a minimal amount of throttle control. The TC makes it simpler to get full power and allows for an earlier ERS deployment.

This is especially helpful at tracks like Spain and Mexico which have a long run to turn 1. Put the clutch in and increase your rpm with only a quarter of the throttle to roughly 12,500.

Drop the clutch and go up to second as soon as the lights go out. As you do so, start at half throttle and shift into third gear as soon as you feel the grip tighten. From there, you may increase the throttle to full and press the ERS button.

If you activate the ERS too soon, you'll merely crash into the barrier and lose the race. However, if you put it on immediately away, you'll have the opportunity to advance in your career.

After that, everything revolves around getting ready for turn 1. If you get stopped on the racing line, the AI will frequently queue up there, so be prepared for a protracted concertina effect.

The hardest part of F1 racing is probably starting a car effectively without traction control. It will take MUCH more practice to do it perfectly because it is much more difficult to get maximum power without the car taking off in one direction or the other.

If you find yourself simply holding station with a no TC start, you've got it pretty well down. Once more, with a quarter throttle, you want the beginning rpm to be approximately 12,500. Short shifting and precise throttle control are therefore key.

You should shift into second fast and hold off shifting into the 5th or 6th until the rev light becomes purple. But if you switch too soon, you won't receive the best acceleration and you'll fall back in the pack.

You may engage ERS as the rear starts to grip and wheel spin is no longer a concern, but it's better to save it for those lengthy runs to turn 1. At Silverstone, Monaco, or Baku, you are unlikely to have a launch that is steady enough to trigger ERS.
