Which area is the bug/glitch in? Multiplayer
Did you have cross-play enabled? No
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start a multiplayer race in Monaco Trigger a safety car Enter the pit lane Check the delta whilst entering the pit lane
What happens when the bug occurs? When entering the pit lane under a safety car at Monaco, the delta will go down by approximately 1.1 seconds and if you were less than 1.1 seconds above the delta this will likely result in a drive through penalty being awarded for speeding under the safety car
What do you expect to see? The delta to stay stable and not drop by a random amount, resulting in a drive through being awarded

‌

So long story short, we had a league race at Monaco last night and multiple people found that when entering the pits under a safety car, they were awarded a drive through penalty for speeding under the safety car, despite being above the delta. When watching clips back in slow motion, it seems that the delta dropped by approximately 1.1 seconds on entering the pit lane, and if the driver was less than 1.1 seconds above the delta then it deems them to have entered the pit lane with a negative delta and gives them a drive through for speeding.  The relevant settings we used for the lobby are below - if you need more then let me know.

Crossplay - off

Cars - F1 World

Safety Cars - reduced

Track - Monaco

Distance - 50%

Rules/corner cutting - strict

Pit stop experience - immersive

Most if not all drivers will also have the pit assists switched on, but this isn't enforced in the lobby settings afaik. 

All drivers were either on PS4 or PS5 - not sure on exact versions e.g. digital only PS5 vs disk drive, digital version of the game vs physical disc.

Clips showing what happened

First off, me entering the pits from the lead where, for some reason the delta dropped but I didn't get a drive through, delta was +0.806 when entering the pits, then drops to -0.403 when crossing the line: https://clips.twitch.tv/PatientRenownedCiderRuleFive-dhtjeTFgA-jzJuQK

The driver in 2nd place entered the pits with a positive delta of +0.645, and this dropped to -0.552 as he crossed the line and resulted in a drive through penalty for speeding under the safety car being awarded: https://clips.twitch.tv/ConcernedWittyAlfalfaHeyGuys-lrDv4s2nPQ51LE8k

The driver in 3rd place entered the pits with a positive delta of +1.030, and this dropped to -0.210 as he crossed the line and awarded a drive through for speeding under the safety car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZHh7MEHp_s

The driver in 5th place entered the pits with a positive delta of +1.104, and this then dropped to -0.010 as he crossed the line and awarded a drive through for speeding under the safety car: https://youtu.be/phPr6KKU8-o

The drive in 7th entered the pits with a more positive delta of +1.680, which then dropped to +0.840 as he crossed the line, with no drive through being awarded: https://clips.twitch.tv/ElegantSaltyHorsePastaThat-uy7BuNQQQejcl5eM

The driver in 10th place entered the pits with a very large positive delta of around +5 seconds, and it didn't seem to drop at all for them: https://youtu.be/0b4nPmqAKhg?t=758 (around the 12:40 mark, in case the link doesn't work)

One driver heard all the issues with the delta so decided to pit once the delta had gone away - when they entered the pits there was no delta visible, but when they crossed the line a delta of -1.174 immediately appeared, then disappeared and a drive through for speeding under the safety car was awarded: https://clips.twitch.tv/EvilObedientElephantKappaPride-3RFQ3Pbv6k6T4qcY

The same issue repeated later on in the race under a virtual safety car, as shown here - delta was +0.820 when entering the pits, then jumps to -0.199 as he crossed the line, awarding a drive through penalty: https://clips.twitch.tv/DarkAbstruseHamsterKAPOW--9clrfOrY54kOAyQ

There may have been others but hopefully that gives you the idea!  If it was consistently dropping by X then at least you can work around it by ensuring that you have a positive delta of at least +X when entering the pits, but given that it worked OK for me AND it gave someone a drive through for speeding when there was no delta visible, it's almost impossible to reliably work around this particular issue.

This issue has also been present at Canada on F1 22 - it may have been present in F1 22 at Monaco too but we never saw a safety car at Monaco on F1 22 in any of our league races.

If you need any further information or clips then please let me know.
