Tyre strategy in the Game
In every gamemode the tyres are locked for sessions. In the practice session you got 1 hard, 2 mediums 3 softs. After every practice you have to hand back 2 tyres (the tyres with the most wear)....

The tyre strategy could actually be soo good in the game.. all that needs to be done is simply
- Lift the lock on tires for practice (except for the single Q3 tyre, thats the rules)
- Make the C1 tyre slower, 0.5-1% less grip to simulate how bad it is IRL
- Dont lock the strategy to ~75% tyre maximum but to 90% maximum as these tyres just dont get punctures from wear or only shortly before hitting the canvas
- add more time to the expected race time in the strategy for each stop, short tracks with short pitlane 4-6s, long tracks with long pitlane 7-9s, Singapore and Monaco 10s minimum
This would mostly lead to less stupid AI strategies doing 2 stops when the player can easily do a 1 stop, make for realistic behaviour on the tracks with C1-C3 tires, allow some car specific race pace with different tyre wear as the AI wont make unnecessary stops but for example Merc can keep good pace while Ferrari will reach higher tyre wear and slowly fall of the pace..
It could be soo good if these things were implemented and they dont even take much effort i think ☹️
