You overestimate the difference it makes with fresh tyres, the Softs are only about 6 tenths faster than the Medium in Miami..
Its just a rumour with 1s gap between compounds, IRL its actually more 0.4-0.5s between each tyre but C1 1s slower than C2 but these gaps depend on the track!! in the game each compound is 2% grip apart of the next which makes an average gap of 0.5-0.7s
Regarding the race director idk why they changed it, stupid change really.
@Meza994But surely Alonso shouldn't be having problems passing Russell the first time he gets DRS uses his ERS has fresher, softer tyres and a slipstream. It's meant to be easier to overtake this year, but in game with everything going in your favour it's still a struggle for the AI, never mind the player.
Might have to dig the PlayStation 2 out and see if this still works, lol.

I had more chances to overtake the AI at Bahrain, but I couldn't do it either, see here https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/3-race-AI-test-75-amp-65-picture-data/m-p/11644756/highlight/true#M8021 for 4 and a half laps I had everything to my advantage over Alonso. But lap after lap, I wasn't getting close to overtaking on level 75. But I'd done all the overtaking Saniz had to do at Saudi on the weekly challenge on level 90. So it's not as if I don't know how to do it.
