Having finished Season 1 in my F1 2011 career mode on single player, I am going to start season 2.
As a reminder I play 50% race distance, long race weekends, Legend AI, Expert difficulty and using Williams F1. I passed every R&D objective, got most of the qualifying and race objectives and scored in the points for the whole season with no podiums or wins and the best place was 6th in the British Grand Prix. For the rivals from Belgium I had in order at the time was Buemi (Toro Rosso), Sutil (Force India) and Kobayashi (Sauber). I picked Kobayashi since I did not feel confident at the time to beat the higher ranked drivers and managed to beat my rival in the end.
For the constructors it ended up in order as McLaren, Red Bull, Ferrari, Renault, Mercedes, Williams (US), Toro Rosso, Sauber, Force India, Lotus, HRT and Virgin. The contract offers I had were HRT, Virgin and Lotus with Williams renewal. I resigned as Williams due to not having good contract offers from the mid teams and have already been promoted to 1st team race driver thanks to my results.
Therefore for season 2, I have a some questions to ask.
1) I realised that the F1 2011 is based on tier system so am I right thinking with the constructors results listed above for season 1 would season 2 at the beginning be the tier system of this below:
Tier 1 - McLaren, Red Bull and Renault, Tier 2 - Ferrari and Toro Rosso, Tier 3 - Mercedes and Williams (US), Tier 4 - Sauber and Lotus and Tier 5 - Force India, HRT and Virgin
2) I already been promoted to first team driver and selected my R&D which set it as "Intermediate." Is there any advantages in become first team driver and does your objectives get slightly harder compared to being 2nd team driver of a team
3) If you resign for the team you started in Season 1, does your car usually get stronger compared to the first one so meaning you can handle higher rival teams
4) I heard your team-mate ends up becoming like a real rival to you so was wondering whether it's true
5) Is there any other tips or advice in Season 2 can anyone give their guidance on or anything would like to share I need to be aware of
