EA SPORTS F1 Manager Problem

[inferno300]

whenever i try to renew my engine, electronics, or brakes contracts, instead
of going to an 'offer contract' screen, i just get an email to send that
says i am terminating next years contract(which doesn't exist yet).. and
when i click send, the game crashes. This doesn't happen with any other
contracts...personnel or merchandising... just with the machanical
contracts... Has anyone else encountered this?? is there a patch for it??
as i cannot sign new contracts, i am unable to go beyond the first year.
Does anyone know how to fix this??

Thanks

Mine works fine; I use the right arrow to "next year" & then "extend contract" at bottom left of screen.
