I disagree, if it was easy to find a ready trained high talent driver then where would be the challenge and sense of satisfaction?
While it may be frustrating to see all those race winning drivers 'locked out' every one of them at some point has been found and trained by another manager. There is no reason why someone else cannot do the same.
Yes it takes time and can be a pain when they aren't competetive but eventually they will get there and you have the satisfaction of knowing that it was down to you and not due to someone elses time and effort.
Well said. If anybody wants a developed driver so much that they want to hire drivers who are on inactive teams, you should make a B-team and train your own drivers. It's unethical, but nobody will be able to stop you from doing it.
