I hope this isn't a completely useless post, but if you're planning on racing for a highup team you'd be better off with a shorter season count, if you're racing 7 seasons for the best it's going to get repetitive fast and in honesty, progressing up through teams is rewarding part and makes me want to continue playing.
Placing first every race isn't fun, I would try racing for a team like Lotus with the correct difficulty and you'll enjoy yourself way more!
(set the AI so you're actually placing around 18th in races instead of on the podium)
