I've been enjoying F1 Manager 2023 so far, though some things are holding it back. One of them are contracts. I've been playing Alpha Tauri, and figured I needed a better driver than Nyck De Vries. I did scouting on a few drivers, and figured Albon would be an improvement. However, he refused all of my contracts offers, even though my last offer was a 9Million salary, 3 times his current contract! Same with Bottas, refused a 11 Million contract, also about three times his contract. My whole staff declined offers which were 2 times their actual contract... This needs to be addressed, I'm quite sure this isn't normal. Also, some more precise feedback on what contract they want would be very nice.
#Contracts: Improvements and fixes

This is causing me lots of frustration in the game as well. All of my staff are asking for double their salary and even scouted individuals with no contract are asking for the same salary as existing staff who have double the skills.

Its honestly ridiculous how bad it is!

I mean, I'm pretty sure team attractiveness plays a role, but still, very much broken. Also, why is the contract system so simple? I mean, it would greatly benefit if 1: scouting provided much more information and was more useful (right now its only purpose is to get info on drivers/staff and their salary) and 2: if contracts negociations had more depth: for instance, they tell you actual info on what salary they want (not "that salary is too low" like bruh do you want 4 or 15M), and if they made counteroffers. There is definitely some rework needed.

Football manager is the benchmark, anything in that direction would be a huge improvement.
