A little frustration in My Team
Winning a race, or reaching the podium in My Team will not have my country's flag, basically because I am the manager and did not create my driver in a driving game. Just that. Someone else's flag.

Unfortunately for me personally, no. Piastri and Doohan are aussies too, but they are guys, I'm not. So no thanks.
Well yes... but then your problem isn't the flag fluttering behind them on the podium. It's the chromosomes that they possess.
it's not, as you say, "My flag not someone else's!". It's "my gender identity, not someone else's".
Which is completely fine as there is a lack of female representation, but that has very little to do with nationality.
No the wrong flag is just another nail in the coffin for My Team this year. As I originally said at the top. I mean if I play as the only woman (who is fictional) in the game, then I have to be British, which is wrong flag. If I play as Doohan or Piastri then I'm the wrong gender, 2 nails both different but same length, that coffin lid is definitely shut this year as far as I'm concerned.
I get the general premise and completely agree about the Callie issue, and the lack of female representation problem. I just don't particularly understand the weighting of the flag issue.
For example, you've been a big exponent of F1 Academy coming in, but I don't recall an Australian woman being in it last year. If they had included it, would it still be an issue or would the wrong flag mean it was pointless for them to have done so?
I believe there are one or two Aussie girls doing it this year so it is a moot point for next year if it was to be included and hopefully both factors you aren't satisfied with would be remedied. Or, ideally the ability to create your own avatar with decent customisation would return.
