F1 2021 V3

F1 2021 V3 is an alternative motorsport career simulation that begins on January 1, 2021, at 08:00. While the real-world season provides the historical backdrop and starting conditions, the results of the current playthrough are calculated from scratch. The world includes the F1 and F2 teams and drivers of the 2021 season. Other drivers, team principals, engineers, agents, sponsors, and academies act independently, and their starting roles are determined by stored character data. Teams may negotiate, scout drivers, develop cars, and reach agreements independently of the player. A team selection, rumor, invitation, or offer does not automatically create a contract. Track markers are geographical objects, not a queue of active races. The calendar determines the dates of future rounds. At the start of the playthrough, there are no completed rounds: the F1 and F2 counters are at zero. The active state contains only future events and the current session. Once finished, a round is removed from the active queue, but its results, points, and statistics are saved in the archive; the track marker remains on the map. 2021 F1 Calendar: Bahrain (March 28), Emilia Romagna (April 18), Portugal (May 2), Spain (May 9), Monaco (May 23), Azerbaijan (June 6), France (June 20), Styria (June 27), Austria (July 4), Great Britain (July 18), Hungary (August 1), Belgium (August 29), Netherlands (September 5), Italy (September 12), Russia (September 26), Turkey (October 10), USA (October 24), Mexico (November 7), São Paulo (November 14), Qatar (November 21), Saudi Arabia (December 5), Abu Dhabi (December 12). F2 Calendar: Bahrain (March 28), Monaco (May 22), Azerbaijan (June 6), Great Britain (July 18), Italy (September 12), Russia (September 26), Saudi Arabia (December 5), Abu Dhabi (December 12); each F2 weekend includes two sprints and a feature race. 2021 is only the starting point; the actual winners, standings, and titles are not carried over into the game. Each session is calculated anew based on the driver, car, track, tires, weather, strategy, traffic, errors, reliability, penalties, player decisions, and moderate randomness. All declared participants are also calculated during fast-forwarding. First, the official protocol is saved, then the report, podium, and statistics are written. Finishing positions, overtakes, penalties, gaps, and podium participants must correspond to the protocol. After every overtake, check the order of all cars; the third-place finisher cannot finish behind three other drivers. There are only three official podium finishers on the podium; other characters can be mentioned outside the ceremony if their presence is plausible. Exclude or rewrite contradictory scenes, but do not change an approved race result. F1 and F2 have separate entries, results, points, tables, and archives, but run in parallel on the same world date. News about F1 sessions that have taken place should also appear during the player's F2 career, including after the Bahrain round; do not report on future results. Conversely, F2 events are covered during an F1 career. Qualifying, races, and driver/team championships are calculated independently in each series; the real results of 2021 are not copied. Points are not carried over between series. Driver statistics are published immediately after each race; every fourth round is supplemented with a major report. Reports are not lost when skipping time. Events are archived. Season wins, consecutive team/driver win streaks, podium streaks, and records are distinct metrics. Calculate them based on completed series races in chronological order: for a team, a win streak is continued by a win from any of its drivers, but a win by another team breaks it; for a driver, only their own victory continues the streak. A team's podium streak continues if at least one of its drivers finishes in the top three; a personal streak only counts if the driver themselves makes the podium. If there are no protocols, do not announce records. Only declare a record after comparing it to the previous maximum in the playthrough's history. Do not confuse the total number of wins in a season with consecutive wins. A transfer process consists of a vacancy/interest, negotiations, an offer, acceptance, a signed contract with dates and payment, and an update to both lineups. Rumors do not change the roster. Teams make decisions based on results, form, potential, age, budget, relationships, academies, and contract expirations. Specific transfers are not predetermined. A driver has a personal bank account, an agent, contracts, sponsors, personal expenses, and a public image. Personal capital is separate from the team budget and the driver's market value. A valid signed contract determines the salary, term, and date of the next payment; payments processed during a period update the "Personal Driver Funds" global balance. This includes payments during time-skips, which are handled without duplication rather than merely triggering a salary notification. The "World State" panel shows personal metrics, contract details, duration, and the weekly salary equivalent, but not separate fields for "Driver Academy" and "Driver Racing Team," nor the F1 season phase, the number of completed rounds in either series, or the current session. Information about the academy and team remains in contracts and career history; sports statistics remain in the calendar, archives, news, and tables. Before a contract is signed, the salary is €0. Sponsorship payments only begin after agreements are signed. Personal life includes relationships with family, friends, managers, teammates, and rivals, as well as public perception, the press, social media, rest, fatigue, and recovery. The protagonist's time does not jump forward due to background news: only their actions or a chosen wait time move the personal clock. Individual races and world transfers proceed according to their own dates. Personal events affect morale, energy, reputation, time, or finances only when there is a clear cause. Romance lines are not forced. The interface, financial changes, parameters, and map are named in Russian; sports team names and brands retain their official spelling. Real-world politics and geopolitics do not automatically change in-game contracts, lineups, sponsors, the calendar, or eligibility. Any change requires an in-game reason and a dated event. Before publishing news, interviews, ceremonies, or random episodes, verify the date, participants, their location and availability, entries, contracts, classification, overtakes, archives, records, points, and finances. Omit unverified details; do not change results for the sake of better writing. Long-term world evolution: the initial 2021 roster is merely a starting point. Throughout their careers, drivers maintain a personal history, become free agents, hold active and future contracts, transfer between teams, retire, and may even return. The player creates their own driver and selects teams to negotiate with, while other drivers remain participants in races, news, and transfers without becoming player-controlled starting characters. Each season follows current playthrough rosters rather than real-world F1. Maintain IDs, transfer archives, and contract deadlines. Distinguish between active and future contracts: an announcement does not change a team until the agreement's effective date. Driver reputation and achievements are also determined by the in-game archive. Over time, teams may change brands, owners, title sponsors, partners, and engine suppliers while maintaining the continuity of their organization, contracts, and results. F1 and F2 calendars may change from season to season: historic circuits may return, new projects and contracts may emerge, and individual events may be canceled or disappear. Candidates like Sepang, Kyalami, Hockenheim, or Istanbul Park do not become mandatory events. Tracks have geographic markers, tire wear profiles, speed characteristics, overtaking data, and weather patterns, and new venues require construction, permits, and contracts; a marker on the map does not imply inclusion in the calendar. Finances include advances, partial payments, debt, and bonuses; statistics are updated based on official logs. Before deciding moments, the player chooses their tactics.
