Seeing as I have ten minutes to spare before a few socially distant beers with good friends...

The squealers are intentional.
It is unfortunate that you choose to insult the overwhelming majority of players who do not agree with you. How would you like it if those that don't want breakdowns and crashes tarnished those that do want them as "losers"? I'm sure it's not the case, there are many people who want something different from this game but IMO the one thing that the vocal pro-crash brigade have in common is that they can't be bothered to win on merit by learning how the game works, they would prefer better managers to suffer from incidents beyond their control.

I see nothing changes as in no one has a right to voice an opinion except the excalted few.
Everyone has the right to voice their opinion, isn't that what people are doing on this thread? Just as the pro-incident managers have a right to promote their opinion those against it also have the right to explain why they are against it. Neither side are having their posts deleted or censored so I don't understand on what basis you make your comment.

I said that I don't want random retirements. I think this should only happen if you give a driver orders of driving super aggressive or your car reliability is too low
Linking the probability of breakdowns to reliability has been suggested on many occasions. Whilst I don't totally disagree with an element of risk being introduced into the game it can't be linked to the Reliability attribute. Each season car design is reset, linking the probability of failure to reliability would result in a war of attrition in the early races of the season when design is low and would also disproportionally affect Rookie and Pro managers.
Ultimately any "risk" measure will still rely on a randomness, just the probability of the random event happening would be adjusted depending on the risk factor.
We already have a number of random events in the game. Off the top of my head I can think of weather, Flags/VSC, pit stop bug, qualifying, wrong tyre bug and a bug that can cause a car to lose 15 places in the first lap. These random events are causing many experienced managers to quit playing because it's becoming a game of chance rather than one of strategy and skill.
Personally I would like the devs to focus on fixing the bugs that already cause randomness instead of introducing yet more. But that's my opinion, I'm entitiled to air it, those that disagree with me are also entiled to air their opinion but they should do so without resorting to personal insults.
