Impossible to get a contract from Ferrari or Mercedes

Recommended Posts

I'm in season 8 and won 2 straight championships for Red Bull. But even after that my reputation with Ferrari and Mercedes doesn't grow, it's less than 25%. Now I'm wondering: what do I have to do to get an offer from those teams without setting the difficulty so low??

I suppose the only thing would be to win the title in a smaller team...hoping that might impress them.

In my experience it seems the Red Bull is the most likely of the 3 big teams to offer you a contract, and it is particularly difficult to get any kind of interest from the top 2, especially the Mercedes.

This reputation thing is random. I am currently in season 2 with Toro Rosso, I finished 7th in season 1, and am currently 7th in season 2, but my reputation with Ferrari and Mercedes is basically non-existent. Every time I get it somewhat up, and get a rare DNF, my reputation totally disappears with these teams, which I believe is incorrect. I have had 4 DNFs in 31 races in my career. At the same time, their drivers keep DNFing about once every 4 races.

Meanwhile, watching Aarava's career, in season 1 and 2 with Toro Rosso, he was getting worse results than me, yet he got contract offers from these teams eventually, as he got good reputations with them. So it's definitely not based on logic.
