Hello guys, I've found something which I'm not sure is a problem for everybody but certainly is for me.

With the new R&D system, we were told it would spice up career mode and allow teams who aren't usually at the top to push their way through.

Now I'm not sure if it's because I'm not far enough in or not, but entering Baku in Season 2, the car performance rankings are still exactly the same as they were at the start of season 1. Due to this, it's the same results every single race, with either the Mercedes or Ferrari winning, with the Red Bull picking up a shock win every now and then.

Like I say, I'm not sure if it's because I'm only about a Season and a half through, but I must admit it's getting a tad boring already. I will wait it out though.

It is nit possible to work your way up. For example Mclaren will be always way doen on engine power because you can't make bigger improvements than the higher placed teams. Career mode is as bad as last year. 10 seasons careermode useless. Because of this stupidity already stopped playing F1 2017.

I'm still playing as I enjoy the game it's just annoying how the order has stayed the same, quick update I'm now into Spa in Season 2 and still no changes

Also curious if running more than one season would help.  IRL, one team doesn't suddenly jump to the top ranks from the bottom.

I'm halfway  through S3 and Ferrari and Merc still winning and every other team is the same as S1. It is getting a bit boring tbh.

I can cope with the idea that the AI teams stay more or less in the same order. What I'd like to think is that I can at least improve a low ranked team (say a Sauber or McLaren) by enough to at least make them a regular points scorer.

Just how possible is this? Can you make the R&D improvements fast enough to achieve this and overtake the likes of Renault, Williams, Force India etc. to even be a "best of the rest" as you progress?

I'd even settle for that. If nothing else, it promotes the idea that you still have to impress and move to a top team in order to win the Championship. Which is probably true to life anyway.
