Axis by axis

Execution9 vs 8

F1 22 leans harder on execution: Perfect braking points and throttle control dominate every lap

Reads3 vs 2

F1 22 leans harder on reads: Wheel-to-wheel duels reward predicting human rivals' moves

Variance2 vs 2

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization6 vs 6

Even - both lean on optimization about the same.

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
