With all the cars ready, we can now sign some drivers. For those of you who are still with this game from 2014, the system will not be unfamiliar to you. Basically you pick drivers and the gods of RNG decide in case of a real-life driver and the users decide for their fictional drivers.

Remember that drivers do not provide individual sponsorship anymore. Any F1 driver is now entitled to a minimum wage of €1,000,000 per year. Furthermore, drivers who have not taken part in a F1 race so far may not earn more than €12,000,000 a year.

In exchange for these additional limitations, you may now choose how long your driver contracts are (you can offer either years or a fixed number of races (please note that a season has 38 races)). To give you an idea how drivers think: most prefer the following order: long well-paid contracts > short well-paid contracts > short badly-paid contracts > long badly-paid contracts. Please write the offered wage for a full year though, even if the contract itself is shorter.

In addition, you may now add clauses of all types to the contract. Obviously, drivers won't like clauses that could potentially hurt them. Also, clauses that make the wage of a driver fully or partially conditional are banned. The minimum wage applies to Friday testers as well.

From 2014 on, you may exchange one chassis upgrade for a Friday tester. Since this caused some confusion last year, I will emphasise this point from the start.
The Friday tester must have taken part in a F1 race before.
Signing a Friday tester will give your chassis a random grip increase of 50-150 points and allows you to replace your driver mid-weekend in case of injuries or bans.

Your team's budget must be >=0 after signing drivers, after sponsorship money has been added. FOM has unofficially informed the teams that they will pay out €2,000,000 to any team signing a F1RWRS driver that took part in races of the 2014 F1RWRS season for at least 20 races.

Alright, please fill out this until Monday, September 1 (7 p.m. CEST) and post it in this thread for real-life drivers - please only offer wages that are rounded up to a million:

Very well, but you must have stated that before the deal is signed. As a matter of fact Brabham is not a baby-sitter team, but a strong title challenger, so you should ask Stefan or some other team to do so if they wish. If we are to try Muller, we insist on 10 million cash (or as engine price reduction) and "fire if not performing well" clause (same conditions as to de Vries and Frijns).

This. Just think of it like Esteban Gutierrez; Telmex themselves directly pay into the team, and Gutierrez recieves a salary from the team. The driver never actually gives money to the team.

Alexandre Voeckler - if you score big after a year off, you earn the INFINITE IMPROBABILITY DRIVE OF THE RACE.

Robin Frijns - overcame practice and qualifying issues to score points in his first F1 race.

-- Negatives --
McLaren-Hyundai - were not able to make their testing times mean much today.

Evgeny Restov - the "hero of Ferrari" sure was outperformed by his new team mate, and a silly mistake did not help matters.

Villeneuve-Ferrari - not their greatest showing, they must hope for better things down the road.

Mercedes - their works team fared horrible and their customer teams suffered from exploding engines, that's a REJECT OF THE RACE award.

Dave Cassidy - couldn't win the race in the first laps, but sure was able to lose it.
