How much preaching do I have to do about aggression before my team mates start listening? He'll be awful. Seriously, dreadful.

In season 5 I dropped a driver to go for one that was lighter, higher stamina, higher concentration and lower aggressiveness... and he was way slower.

And, tbf, I don't expect to do well for ages anyway, I was after charisma for a good sponsor, and a cheap alright driver.

He scored 90% of them in season 3 and below where Torrezgomez was one of the most dominant managers (had money, the best car, TD and facilities.) If you look - the same driver has not performed very well, even when placed in the hands of good managers in later seasons (Heidi Koski for example?)

The issue with that aargument is that he might ahve had the same or similar stamina levels all along whilst other elites have been training theirs.

I really dread to think what stamina the likes of laugalis, Iorga et al's drivers have - I seem to remember Totev's being on the market with 160 or so. So we're probably talking about 170-180 for the top elites by now.

....which is why we're not going to be challenging them anytime soon no matter what.

GL with that. Please drop him before season's end.

Fwiw, I'm still on pole after 13 qualifiers.

Looking like I'll be at least a midfield runner

I have also started nurturing another group into the game and will (if enough stick at it) get one of them to start up a team but I will remain in the mighty Ohhh Teee F1 team.

Dont worry, they are not getting any super secret info, just some advice and support from an old hand.

Fair enough.

It looks like I'm going to mentor this guy for now and may add a couple more.

If one of your mentees is setting up a team let me know as I might have a couple to fill the space.

True - but these are all ifs and buts we don't have the answers to. What I was getting at is that you seemed to be pointing at his point scoring records, which although are bloody amazing were scored by a single manager during a 3-dominant-season spell. Very similar situation to what Koski and her Driver Jackie Love experienced...

From chatting to other people in the game it's supposedly not a rarity for elite managers to have stamina of 200+
