Always long pit stops

Hi I just bought F1 24, started a career with Ferrari, on race length 100%, and so far (race 4) all my pit stops have been horrible. Like 5+ seconds. It completely ruins my races! I'm on immersive p...

@Boriska212121 When you enter the pits, there is a countdown and you have to press a button at the perfect time to get a good pit stop.

However, I have noticed that, even when you press at the perfect time, the game will generate an 'issue with a tyre' and it slows you down.

I think it is there to add immersion and realism.

Thanks for the quick answer, that's what I thought at first as well, but looking at my specialists, none of them actually give anything relevant. So am I forced to play seasons with bad pit stops until my facilities get improved?

Or maybe my pit crew isn't really ready when I arrive? I just realized there's a button for "manual pit stop", maybe that's the key? I haven't had time to check it out yet, but maybe I need to press it before entering the pits? And then they'll be ready? Can anyone give me an explanation about what this button is for?

Thanks for the tip! I don't know how I missed that. Will try for sure! (Although having a problem with a wheel EVERY time, even if pressed correctly doesn't sound too encouraging...)
Edit: Ok, finally had the chance to try it. "Manual pit stop" is indeed the button you have to press at the right time, and for me, it worked fine: 2.5 sec pit stop! 😎

  I have it on broadcast mode to not have 2 do anything & I’ve had an issue w/ every single pit stop n the 6 races I’ve done so far.
