I think the aspect of micro-management is not part of a managers work.
A team principal doesn't figure out the setups for the drivers for example.
But it's still a part of the game that I really enjoy.
I just don't want to be something in between. I would like a gamemode, where you really are just an "employee" of a team, where you are the race engineer of ONE driver. Tell them when to push and work on the strategy, together with the strategy department in the factory. You have to keep an eye on tire wear, pit windows, fuel and the condition of the car, but just for one single driver.
I think for that it would also make sense to have a more in depth communication with the driver. Ask a driver about the tires or the balance of the car. Work together with the driver on improving the setup in the practice sessions and so on.
Edit: Maybe these improved communications could also play a role in the communications apart from the engineer-driver communication. Being able to talk to the other drivers team or the strategy department could also be an interesting implementation
