We have experienced this bug too, and it seems like there are similar conditions: 2 player career Sprint weekend (COTA), where one player gets a penalty in the sprint qualifying.
It doesn't just affect the player positions either. In our Sprint qualy, it started dry for 1 lap and so Albon and Stroll were 1st and 2nd, but they started 10th and 19th. We qualified 4th and 5th, but started 1st and 6th.
The problem carries over into the main race grid too. We qualified 2nd and 4th, and started 14th and 15th.
Can this please be investigated? It sounds like a major bug that is occurring on sprint weekends and will impact the integrity of a two player career championship.
