I would like to see a new feature where, in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, there is an animation of my lead driver waving at me as I play the game. 10 minutes before the race begins, your driver turns around, puts his helmet on and walks off, fading away slowly. Shortly after the race, your driver returns to the bottom right of the screen with any trophy he may have won in the race. This will significantly increase the enjoyment of playing this game and should be introduced immediately*.
*after James' idea of podium national anthems.
