F1 2019: Rivals on the track - good for your negotiations

On the rivalry system, the following info:

• You can "maintain" up to two rivalries at the same time. The first rival is always fixed, in the form of your teammate.
• You can freely choose the second rival.
• Both rivalries run separately. It is always about who first collects 30 points. These there are, for example, for the better placement in qualifying, podium finishes and finished races.
• Have you collected the 30 points faster than your rival, you win the duel and receive a fixed reputation score. This depends on the status of the rival; top drivers like Lewis Hamilton bring more points, but are more difficult to defeat.
• The points increase your overall reputation. This gives you a better basis in contract negotiations.

Quite clearly, it pays to win rivalries regularly in F1 2019, even if you want to stay with the same team, because the better reputation gets you a better contract. This shortens your time in pit stops, gives you more resource points and allows for faster upgrades.
