My Team contract negotiation before the last race

@ImpartialCross06It’s as intended all drivers move or negotiate extending their contracts before the end of season.in real F1 it Generally starts around the summer break. And is called silly season

That said if they are actually changing team for Abu Dhabi GP it’s probably a bug. But iirc previous years they don’t change until after the race but before season ends

Why is the contract negotiation in my team and career mode set before the last race, it's highly unrealistic to have a bunch of drivers changing teams

right before the last race. Is this as intended or is it a bug because the calendar is longer this year and you forgot that Abu Dhabi was after

the negotiation. Really hope it's not intended!

@ImpartialCross06 do you mean they swap their teams for the last race of the season following contract negotiations i.e. if Hamilton is at Merc all season and joins Ferrari, for the last race of the season he races for Ferrari?

@ScarDuck14 thats how I read it. I haven’t got to an end of season contracts yet, but if that’s the case then it’s not right for sure.

@Monzstar83Yes, that's what I was trying to say. But it was in career mode and not My Team, I wanted to go to Williams and then I was swapped before the last race. I'm presuming it also happens in My Team though. So the topic name was maybe wrong. But I noticed the contract
negotiation happened at the same point in My Team, last season it was right after the last race.

Checked the save now and I'm in Abu Dhabi in Williams having been in Aston Martin the whole season.

@ImpartialCross06 yep that’s definitely not right

But this is a major bug? You basically can’t do a full season of career because this will always happen if Abu Dhabi is the final race… drivers retiring and moving teams before the last race seems like a pretty major bug to me and considering career mode is the same as last year this is just incredibly poor from EA
