Gearbox wear causes imminent retirement
Product: F1 24
Platform:PlayStation 5
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug In previous games, when your car had a gearbox with a high rate of wear, it caused missing gears during the race. In F1 24, high gearbox wear causes immidiate retirement. On the MFD, the color of the gearbox is yellow, and Marc says that I should expect missing gears, but no matter what, the game retires my car. This should not happen.

Which area is the bug/glitch in? Single Player
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It can be pretty random, but play a career race with a gearbox that has around 40-50% wear.
What happens when the bug occurs? As I said above, the game retires my car, and I can not continue my race while managing the missing gears issue.
What do you expect to see? A fix. It should work like in the previous games.
So yeah, I know that the gearbox is a component that can "die" during the race, just like any other engine part. And when this happens, the MFD shows that the gearbox is red. But in the case of high wear (when the gearbox is yellow), the game shouldn't retire my car. Whenever this issue occurs, the faulty gearbox appears yellow in the "Vehicle" menu, and it has 80% wear, so it is not completely dead.
By the way, this bug is present since the launch of the game, but it only became suspicious for me now. After more than 300 hours of playing Driver Career and MyTeam, I've never had missing gear issues, because the game retires me, no matter if the gearbox is yellow or red.
