That sounds good too. But with the current contract system, I think my method would be easier to integrate.
Not really, they'd stay in the market but be greyed out and you could code a basic random 1 to 3 season timer, so when a season ticks over that would trigger the driver to become available again. Could allow other teams to sign them too, but there would be a good amount of time after they appear to allow you to sign them first. If you don't happen to be following them (I haven't played MyTeam for ages so I can't remember if there's a Shortlist feature, if not there should be) then it's a surprise when after 1 to 3 seasons, they suddenly come back with another team.
Or there could be a chance they could still never come back at all. They need to go deeper with this stuff, code in ages - the older the driver is, the more likely they're not going to come back if they retire. But sadly, I can't see that happening. The game is unfortunately pretty basic, just enough to scratch an itch and nothing more. It leaves you wanting more but can't provide it.
