The trickiest thing about operating a midfield team is that you need to develop like crazy in order to catch up with the top three teams, but you don’t have as much budget as them to actually design and manufacture parts. Maybe if you win absolutely every round in 2022 people will forget this team once employed him. Can you bring a long-awaited third world championship to the veteran Fernando Alonso, at the very team where he won the first two nearly 20 years ago? Are you the managerial visionary who can return McLaren to its winning ways after nearly a decade away from the front? Can you embarrass parent outfit Red Bull by beating them with your Alpha Tauri? As for Haas-well, it’s going to take an awful lot to recover from Nikita Mazepin. This pack is also where some of the most romantic potential storylines lie, though. There’s not much to separate these five teams for performance at the start of the season, but Alfa Romeo and Alpine tend to start with a raw pace advantage over the others. The midfield: Alpine, Alfa Romeo, McLaren, Haas, Alpha TauriĬonsider this your medium difficulty setting-an office in the headquarters of one of F1’s midfield teams.
