Hey folks,
Thank you for your detailed feedback on this topic. We've shared an update on this which you can find here: Tyre Allocations - Answer HQ.
Not having the right tire choices is a big red flag for me. It makes me think the developers are unfamiliar with Formula 1. This is like having a video football game where you can't go for it on 4th down or go for a two point conversion. You've just whiffed on one of the most basic rules. If the developers were familiar with Formula 1 they would know that teams never go into Sunday with only one set of mediums and one set of hards.
I can understand that building the logic for the AI to decide which tires to return and which tires to take into qualifying and the race could be a bit of a challenge, especially on short order. But the temporary patch for this is to take one of the soft sets of tires from Q1 and swap them for the medium set of tires for P2. Both the AI and the player have the same options, a two-stop race is an option, and this at least reasonably approximates an actual F1 race.
