Suggestion: Full Red Flag Procedure in Career Mode
First of all, thank you for the amazing work on F1 24/25. The game keeps getting better every year, and I really enjoy playing the Career and My Team modes.
I would like to suggest one feature that could improve realism and immersion, especially in single-player Career/My Team: the full red flag procedure.
Currently, when a red flag appears, the game simply simulates the situation and places the cars automatically on the grid for the restart. While this is understandable in multiplayer (to avoid chaos and long delays), in Career Mode it feels like a missed opportunity for realism.
Here’s what could make Career Mode even better:
1. Allow players to manually drive into the pit lane when a red flag is shown.
2. Cars line up in pit lane in the order they were before the red flag.
3. Let players change tyres and repair damage during the stoppage.
4. Restart the race with the correct FIA procedure: either from a standing start on the grid or from the pit lane/Safety Car, depending on the rules.
This would add much more immersion and bring the single-player experience closer to real Formula 1.
Thank you for considering this idea, and I hope to see more realistic red flag handling in future updates or in F1 25/24
