F2 career bugs

There are multiple bugs in F2 career still being ignored since the launch. 

Most notable:

  • Changing anything in the setup during practice will make you start the qualifying session with full fuel load
  • Tire allocation for the sprint race is wrong. Allocated tire is usually a harder compound, but in the race default one is a softer one, the same that is later used in the race. That forces you to put used tires in the feature race. AI drivers use the softer tire for the sprint as well, but don't seem to suffer the consequences.
  • Not being able to change weekend structure: disable sprint races. There's just no moment in which this option is allowed to be changed

Please, take care of the F2 career. It's fun and immersive to start in F2, but the bugs and overall lack of any ability to customise driver or change many settings make it not worth the time.

    Finally my prayers have been answered :D

    Here are screenshots (and a photo) proving the tire problem.

    Hi is there any chance that the feature races can have mixed up strategies like real life so some cars doing the opposite tyre compounds to each other please

    Hey, 

    Another F2 related bug:
    If you start career in F2, Academy Choice bonus in F1 is at 0%. I selected alpine academy, raced for ART in F2, and now I'm in F1 in Alpine. There's no academy bonus. 

    I'm not sure if that's always the case, but it's my second career where this happened.

    Update: other settings, like Driver Icons, needs to be re-set again when starting from F2 as well

    In an F2 career, it would be useful to have access to the team headquarters (like in F1) before each race (and before the season starts as well). You could view the points table, calendar, and trophies.

    An F2 career (and F1 career, too) should begin with official tests, where you could earn points towards your driver rating.

    And if F2 were like that (without the mistakes we see now), we could consider F3 too!

    Hmm, I didn't go through to the point of selecting the team I was Academy in (Alpine as well, coincidentally!) but I didn't see any visible difference in choosing Alpine over any other team. Seemed a bit odd, since I figured choosing an Academy would lock you to any F1 team(s) of the relevant Academy, at least for the first F1 season ran in career.
