No driver progression in myTeam
My team has Tim Tramnitz and Callie Mayer as Drivers. And while Tim slowly crawlöed from a 62 to 68 in 1,5 years (collecting places 19-22 since the beginning) my selected driver Callie Mayer doesn't ...

No, if the driver growth system follows exactly what it used to be, then each driver already had a fixed growth/decline curve that progress through the 10 seasons of career, and no outside factor would change any of that.
If this assumption is correct as it follows what CM had done in the past, then what happened with Icon Drivers is that - all of the legendary Icons + APX GP Icons simply have fixed stats across the 10 seasons, which means they will not have any growth or decline.
Just think of this as the dev wants to always present these legends in their peak form, as they don't follow proper timeline anyways.
Meanwhile, the F3 Icons & Esport Icons have very low default stats, so I believe because of gameplay and balancing needs, they gave these specific Icons the same type of natural growth/decline as all other real life drivers, so they won't remained the worst option all the time and gave them actual purposes to be used in careers.
Maybe... but that's not the same experience i've had. I've had AI controlled Senna increasing to 98 at Red Bull, Callie got to 90 at McLaren. I've hired neither of them for my own team so can't say what would have happened if they were on my team.
Also, the OP said that if they were Tim then he didn't grow, so that doesn't fit your narrative neither?
I just feel like it is a scenario where the player controlled character doesn't get any XP from the races you drive as them as that makes more sense to me with what the OP said. I'd happily do some testing of the idea when I get time, but i'm sceptical that it's because F1 Icons don't grow (because they have) and that the youth grow (because they didn't for the OP when they controlled them).
Interesting about Senna, I wonder if the facility buffs on attributes are actually shown on AI team's drivers this year? Because in past titles those buffs were hidden from player.
So for example, if an AI team's driver had like 95 rating on your screen, they're actually 100 because AI team had facility buffs.
Do you mind to take a screenshot of Senna's attributes?The facility buffs were always visible the last years, as a "+X" beside the stats.
I think, i'll try a full Konnersport Team next time to see if your "Icons don't get stats changes" fit. But as fas as i experienced it, Callie Mayer gets stats increase, when she is the AI controlled driver. But as stated earlier: "I tried another myTeam and this time i always used Tim Tramnitz and let Callie Mayer make her own AI thing. And same picture: Tim doesn't maker any progress but Callie does. So it's cleary the case that the user controlled driver in myTeam doesn't change it stats. And that is...unsatisfying." Maybe it was a bug on the console version? Maybe a bug in the german version?
