- @thiago_ssj I only play full distance too so it's really annoying that the strategies are so flat, did anyone actually report this issue yet?
- Lot of reports of this. EA ignoring
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Wrong-tires-mandatory-free-choice-of-tires-not-possible/m-p/11631550#M2705 +1. This wasn't a huge issue for me before the 1.06 patch, but now softs heat up so much that sometimes it'd more viable to go on an alternate strategy involving multiple medium sets.
I don't mind the realism there, IRL F1 teams have to deal with tires getting too hot or not hot enough so I'm fine with making those kinds of decisions. But when you combine the game's dumbed-down tire allocation with the fact that the AI aren't affected by tire temperature at all, it just becomes unfair and frustrating to manage.

What Codemasters could do regarding this, is that you solely use Soft tires in Qualifying, and that the race allocation has two Medium compound sets and one Hard compound set. Combined with the Qualifying sets you would have 4 Soft sets, 2 Medium sets, and one Hard set, which is pretty standard from the previous years.
- TheOldLivyatan3 years agoRising Traveler@LuckyNico92 You'd think that CM would've put their collective brainpower together and would've figured out exactly that solution and implemented it.
But no... we get F1 life instead lol I do strongly suggest voice your concerns and bumping the previously linked thread up, just so Codies/EA maybe hear our concerns...
And while I'm hoping this does get resolved by Codies/EA.. At least for PC players, for now I do recommend checking out RaceDepartment mod section, as I may have taken a lil attempt of fixing this myself.
*Be warned tho, you may have to backup your saves and be willing to take the risk of a corrupt/unloadable race weekend...
Has worked for me fine so far tho, but have gotten some unfavored responses as well sadly.
But the point is, if me, some plebian with a cheat engine can sort this out... surely Codies/EA wouldn't have a issue, right ?- ajobling19833 years agoRising Ace@thiago_ssj The fact is, its not a bug, but by design. We have been asking for more choice over use of the tyre allocation for years and nothing has changed. I wouldnt hold my breath for this getting resolved.
- @ajobling1983 However this kind of design greatly hampers players that run with 100% race length, the ones that actually want to simulate the sport as much as possible. One of the key aspects of the sport, i.e. pit strategy, is compromised greatly by this choice for those that want to have the full experience of a grand prix.
- @ajobling1983 In fact, it was fine as it was in 2021 when you had more choice than just 1medium and 1hard. Also a lot more different strategys by ai even with 50% race distance. In 22 EA/CM decided to give us an tyre allocation that not reflex how it works in real life F1.
- ajobling19833 years agoRising Ace@Bas_Sie89 @Amioram totally agree & hope that i’m wrong. But dont see it being changed anytime soon.
