Wrongful 19th place and DSQ at the end of 50% My Team race after late pit stop (Lap 20/29).
Platform: PS4
Game Mode: My Team Career
Description of the issue: I completed a 50% distance race (29 laps total) in My Team mode. I started the race on Hard tires and pitted on Lap 20 to switch to Soft tires. This is a completely legal strategy using two different tire compounds. However, right after crossing the finish line at the end of the race, the game wrongfully disqualified me. In the final standings, I was placed 19th with a DSQ tag next to my name, meaning the game also glitched my position and lap count completely. Immediately after the checkered flag, the camera automatically switched to Max Verstappen's onboard camera. It seems the game's race director logic failed to register my pit stop correctly because it was done late in the race (Lap 20), even though the tire swap physically happened.
Steps to reproduce: Start a 50% distance Career / My Team race (29 laps). Start on Hard tires and extend the stint. Pit late on Lap 20 and switch to Soft tires. Finish the race. The game triggers an automatic 19th place and DSQ at the finish line.
Evidence: I have attached a screenshot of my pit strategy screen showing the Hard to Soft strategy on Lap 20
