I find the objectives somehow rubbish.
I\'m leading in my league manage to get 1-2 most times, since my main opponent left the league.
Now my objectives are winning and 2nd or podium, but not for the team, but for one single driver. I got a new driver from the 8th race on and he won his first race, where is objective was just to finish (what makes no sense in the first place). After that his next objective was winning, while my other driver, who is still leading by far in the league, just needed a podium.
Now if this for once turns around and my leading driver wins, i just get 1 obective, but not the other (to win with my new driver). consecutive in the next race, leading driver has to win and new one should come in 2nd... but as he is the faster one, he wins and i won\'t get all the money again.
I do a 1-2 finish every time and by that get the best possible result a team could wish, but still I am denied the reward. Moreover the game forces me to do teamorder without me wanting it.

Noone expected from Vettel \'just\' to finish in Brazil, after he didn\'t survive the first lap in Abu Dhabi. And noone expected Button to win in Valencia, after winning in Montreal, either. I am a team manager and not a drivers manager. My first priority is to secure the team championship and gain the best possible team result. As i have absolutely no advantage over others, when I win a race, a championship or anything else (except for a little more xp, that have no practical use), I find this kind of unfair.
It\'s absolutely fine, if I am expected to win a race and finish with another driver on the podium or even in 2nd place, but the game shouldn\'t command me, which driver has to do what here, as i can barely mange to influence that. 

At the moment these objective represent more a fan\'s view to a given time, but less a realistic view on the cars and drivers capabilities over the season.

edit: I guess I should have posted that in \'suggestions\'...

I was that main opponent and I left the league to do 100% distance racing. I find myself in a similar situation. The faster of my two drivers is required to achieved 2nd place and the slower is required to win.

Every race so far I have had to pit the faster driver an extra time just to achieve both objectives. If my advantage over the other teams were less this would not be an option. Also, it feels unfair to the driver (yes I know he\'s not real).

At the moment I find myself running the best race I can with one driver and trying to slow the other driver down. This seems wrong. Unless... someone could rename M Parsi to F Massa. ;)

I think the objective \"Just to finish\" goes for every new driver with a team and lasts 3 races.

i think if you allow that faster driver to finish first, after a few races the system will fix itself.

Yeah... should fix itself in one or two races if you let the fastest guy win.
Besides prize money isn\'t THAT great.

It\'s better than nothing... at the moment the full price money doubles my income per race.
And please, allow the faster driver to win? Sure, I could do that, but why would I? What if i wasn\'t that far in front but had a close fight with another opponent, where every point would count?
As said, my older, slower driver leads the championship by far, not the new, fast guy. And if in one race the slower driver wins, what happens from time to time, I won\'t get both rewards for probably two races.
And no, René, I hired my 2nd driver to the 8th race or so, he won this right away and was supposed to win the next race immediately.

I am very sorry, you great, impeccable citizen of the Americas, that english is just my second language and I am doomed to serve my humble lifetime with this flaw. I am sure you will find superior lifeforms that are worthy of your presence.

I think he learnt English and he comes from a country which has English as a secondry language, he also thinks that americans run this site, yet im still not sure if its English or american... since i havnt seen any of them typing in any of the differences in words (colours/colors etc.)
Anyway, although i have only one driver, i joined 2 races into a championship, and from there onwards, ive gotten 2 podiums in 3 races, despite the fact that ive only been playing for that time aswell, unfortunately, the leader of the championship wins every race, due to the fact he has a more advanced car then mine, i will have to fear when this game wants me to win races, so if you could set what you wanted to do, based on your drivers average peformance for money earned, you should be able to set what you want to do (example: finish in the points would have a set money amount, but if it finishes in the top 3, another possible option, finish in the top 10\'s prize money would go down, and of course, if you failed at the objective, that objective would go higher, the objective would be set by the manager with the race setup aswell.) This defiantly should of gone on suggestions...

I too think that race objectives should be looked and re-evaluated. Im getting penalised for actually doing good.

I don\'t think they should be re-evaluated.
The better you perform the more pressure you have to perform well.
Anybody who is in your situation will feel the same pressure.
So if you want/need some prize money, fail one race and you will have achievable objectives for the next race. But maybe doing so will cause you to loose the championship, or whatever might occur.
In the end these objectives bring some fun to the game, you really have to think and execute well.

Just my 2 cents

It does seem a bit random at times. Had two completely new drivers this race. 1st driver started 7th, yet goal was to finish. 2nd driver started 14th..goal was to get 6th. The race ended up being a mess, where weather caused 4 stops instead of 2. Nice way to lose out on 1.4m, for sure.
