From Steam:
TLDR
In the current state of the game, I cannot recommend it. If you want to play an F1 Game, get F1 2020. If you really want the new generation of F1, get the game on a deep sale. The bugs and poor performance as well as the lack of innovation mean that the game does not warrant the £50 price tag.
Bugs and Performance
When it comes to bugs, there are a number of game breaking and annoying bugs to the point where the game is sometimes near unplayable as it will crash before you can finish a race, even with the Nvidia patches applied. Proper rumble feedback on controllers is currently missing and many wheel / pedal set ups are causing big performance issues with some, that worked on F1 2021, flat out refusing to work. There is also probably the worst gameplay related bug that I have seen in an F1 Game for a while which causes the AI to have unbelievable amounts of speed going down straights, even without DRS and ERS. This makes it virtually impossible to do a DRS overtake in this game. They are aware of it and are working on an issue. All of this is before even looking into the gameplay.
Not sure if the latest 1.06 has fixed some of the issues mentioned in the steam post. Do you know the date of the post?
https://www.ea.com/games/f1/f1-22/news/f1-22-patch-106-notesFair point, it was 19 July and the game was updated on the 25th. with the following patch notes. At a cursory glance it looks like fixes fairly limited in scope:

See you out on track
might wait for a bigger sale considering the bugs and issues….
I am so shocked at the complete loss of momentum this series had.
F1 2018-2021 was so incrementally improving until we got this. F1 2009 on the Wii was better and more memorable than 2022 imho.
Despite my thoughts though, A deal is a deal.
Reviews don't seemed too promising considering the issues f1 22 is having.
