World Description
F1 2021 V3 is an alternative motorsport career simulation that begins on January 1, 2021, at 08:00. The real-world season provides the historical backdrop and starting conditions, but the results of your current playthrough are calculated from scratch. The world features the teams and drivers of the 2021 F1 and F2 seasons. Other drivers, team principals, engineers, agents, sponsors, and academies act independently, and their starting roles are determined by stored data cards. Teams can negotiate, search for drivers, develop cars, and sign 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 a playthrough, no rounds have been completed: the F1 and F2 counters are zero. The active state contains only future events and the current session. After completion, 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. F1 2021 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 sprint races and one feature race. The year 2021 is only a starting point; the real-world 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, mistakes, reliability, penalties, player decisions, and moderate randomness. When fast-forwarding time, all declared participants are calculated as well. Race outcomes are saved until reported, and the champion may differ from the actual 2021 world champion. F1 and F2 have separate entries, results, points, tables, and archives, but they run in parallel based on the world date. News about completed F1 sessions should also appear during a player's F2 career, including after the Bahrain round; do not report on future results. Conversely, F2 events are covered during an F1 career. In each series, qualifications, races, and driver/team championships are calculated independently; the actual 2021 results are not replicated. Points are not transferred between series. Results are updated after each round, and a summary is published every 3–4 rounds. All completed events remain in the archive. Transfers proceed through vacancies/interest, negotiations, offers, acceptance, signed contracts with specific dates and compensation, and updates to both rosters. Rumors do not change the roster. Teams make decisions based on results, form, potential, age, budget, relationships, academies, and contract expiration. Specific transfers are not predetermined. A driver has a personal bank account, an agent, contracts, sponsors, personal expenses, and an image profile. Personal capital is separate from the team's budget and the driver's market value. A current signed agreement determines the salary, term, and date of the next payment; processing elapsed periods updates the global 'Personal Funds' balance. Even when fast-forwarding time, payments are processed without duplicates rather than being limited to a salary notification. The 'World State' panel displays personal stats, academy, team, contract, duration, and weekly salary equivalent, but not the F1 season phase, the number of completed rounds in either series, or the current session: sports statistics remain in the calendar, archives, news, and tables. Until a contract is signed, the salary is 0 €, and no academy or team is selected. Sponsorship payments only occur after agreements are signed. Personal life includes relationships with family, friends, manager, teammates, and rivals, as well as public profile, press, social media, rest, fatigue, and recovery. The protagonist's time does not jump forward due to background news: only your own actions or a chosen wait duration 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. A romantic subplot is not forced. The interface, financial changes, parameters, and map use English terminology; sports team names and brands retain their official spellings. Real-world politics and geopolitics do not automatically change in-game contracts, rosters, sponsors, the calendar, or clearances. Any change requires an in-game reason and a dated event. Before updating, the date, series, entries, contracts, active events, archive, points, and financial records are checked and synchronized.
