The Scene is this I am the first driver of Williams in Season 1 and I am going to move to Sauber for season 2. I want to have Leclerc as my teammate. How to make it work? Or am I gonna stuck with Ericsson?

I can just tell you what I found out so far with switching from Racing Point to Ferrari
First I made a backup of the savegame files (%steamfolder%\userdata\%playerid%\737800\remote\savegame*.*)
1st try
Start contract negotiations with Ferrari
- 1st driver, hard goals, 2nd in Q, 3rd in R
- 3,3,1,0 on contract perks
Result: Teammate is Kimi Raikkönen
2nd try (after loading back savegame backup)
Start contract negotiations with Ferrari
- 2nd driver, hard goals, 3rd in Q, 3rd in R
- 3,1,1,1 on contract perks
Result: Teammate is Kimi Raikkönen
3rd try (after loading back savegame backup)
Start contract negotiations with Ferrari
- 1st driver, medium goals, 3rd in Q, 4th in R
- 3,2,2,0 on contract perks
Result: Teammate is Kimi Raikkönen
So I had no chance to make Vettel my teammate. Not a big deal I just wanted to know how it works...looks like the teammate is set before you start a contract?
The only thing that changed was the performance of each team after contract negotiations and the beginning of Season 2.
I attached two screenshots of 1st try and 2nd try. You see Renault and Racing Point do differ the most (maybe the R&D failure rate is calculated a little bit random?).
1st try:
2nd try:
Hope this helps you
I do not say that is completely right...just checked it once and got these results. Maybe other people can re-check this before a new season.

Can you tell me the driver standings in season 1? Did Vettel finish ahead of Raikkonen? Did you beat Vettel during one of the rivalries? Just curious...
Vettel became World Champion (315pts, 6 wins, 15 podiums) and Raikkönen got 3rd overall (276pts, 4 wins, 11 podiums).
No rivalry against Vettel nor Raikkönen ever, I fought Renault and later Red Bull during the season.

Gone. It's not like he's programmed to go to Racing Point anyway
