<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoVaSpartan</b></div><div>Zhou came up from F2 to take the seat. The grid as a whole got quite jumbled by some big moves (me signing Ocon in season 2, signing Bottas in season 3, Merc signing Alonso, Alonso retiring, Vettel Retiring, Raikkonen retiring are the one i remember) so now we have such oddities as Aitken at Alpine consistently outperforming his teammate Gasly, Russell and Tsunoda fighting for wins with AlphaTauri, Williams and Aston Martin finessing podiums (Ocon and Ghiotto for Williams, Ilott for Aston Martin), and Alfa Romeo struggling to finish above P20 with Gio and Latifi.</div></div>

That's a stark contrast from my 2020 save.

Bobcat Autosport: (NAME REDACTED) and Jack Aitken
Mercedes: Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas
Red Bull: Max Verstappen and George Russell
McLaren: Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz
Renault: Daniel Ricciardo and Esteban Ocon
Ferrari: Charles Leclerc and Anthoine Hubert
Racing Point: Sergio Perez and Lance Stroll
Alpha Tauri: Daniil Kvyat and Pierre Gasly
Haas: Romain Grosjean and Alexander Albon
Alfa Romeo: Antonio Giovinazzi and Kevin Magnussen
Williams: Nicholas Latifi and Nyck De Vries

Most of this is very similar. Kimi and Seb retired, and that's it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoVaSpartan</b></div><div>OK so I thought I would give this a little update if anyone cares simply because of the... well... puzzling move Mercedes made in my offseason. The season prior, I had stolen Bottas from the team and Merc had brought in Alonso to give Hamilton PTSD of 2007. However, going into my new season, Alonso decided to retire from Formula One, leaving a seat at Merc open.

Mercedes decided to go straight to Haas for their next driver instead of going to a midfield team despite having the 2nd best car on the grid. Now you may find yourself thinking "Schumacher would do great in that Merc seat, what's the problem?" The problem is, Merc didn't sign Schumacher. <strong>They signed Mazepin.</strong> :tearsofjoy

Can't wait until my expectations for Mazepin are shattered and he beats me for a win in the season opener.</div></div>

That's hilarious but also cursed. Who took that other Haas seat?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoVaSpartan</b></div><div>I cannot understate how insane Kvyat’s AI was in that game. I signed him for my season 2 and 3 cars (which were both about 3rd best on the grid) with only Spec 2 Driver improvement and he was almost unstoppable. To date, he’s the only AI to beat me in a Drivers championship, embarrassing me in a winner take all at Abu Dhabi. (I keep the AI around a level where it’s difficult, but not impossible to win)

Ditto for Nyck De Vries, who I coincidentally dropped Kvyat for (and for some reason Kyvat decided Williams was better than a Merc seat). I consistently had to turn my AI difficulty down as when I had it on my normal setting, De Vries would finish every race in 1st, over a pit stop ahead.

TL;DR. Kvyat and De Vries’ ais are insane.</div></div>

You changed your drivers around, i've stuck with Jack Aitken in my second seat for the last three seasons (well, two and a half, i duffed it with money at the halfway re-sign mark for drivers in Season 2 and had to run with De Vries for the second half. I like Jack Aitken too much).

De Vries was great, and tbh i just decided to go full wingman for him in most races because i was bored. I do the same thing with Aitken, and he's currently in the lead of the Driver's championship. De Vries went to Williams to partner Latifi.

Kvyat has gotten more podiums in season 3 than Valtteri Bottas (and he's still at Mercedes because George Russell went to Red Bull), 2 to Bottas's 1.

Aitken is currently running at a rating of 87 with Spec 3 everything in Personnel (Simulator, Fitness Center and Analysis Suite), with the second best car on the grid (it goes Mercedes, Bobcat, and then Red Bull).

we finally gave america a f1 team they can actually be proud of lol

I've seen "Prove-It" contracts before, but this has to be one of the first "Get Your Sh*t Together" contracts i've ever seen.
