Online Lobby Sprint Full Race Qualifier Starting Position not in the Race

Hello EA/Codemasters Support Team,

I would like to report a bug in F1 25 regarding online lobbies during Sprint weekends.

Platform: [PC / PlayStation / Xbox]
Game mode: Online Lobby / Multiplayer
Weekend format: Sprint Weekend

Bug description:
In online lobbies during a Sprint weekend, the qualifying results are correctly used as the starting grid for the Sprint race. However, after the Sprint race is finished, the Sprint race result is then incorrectly used as the starting grid for the main Grand Prix.

This happens even though a normal qualifying session for the main race has been completed.

We have tested this multiple times in our league racing environment, and the issue occurred repeatedly.

Expected behaviour:
The starting grid for the main Grand Prix should be based on the results of the Grand Prix qualifying session.

Actual behaviour:
The game uses the Sprint race finishing order as the starting grid for the main Grand Prix, ignoring the qualifying results for the main race.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create or join an online lobby.
  2. Select a Sprint weekend format.
  3. Complete the qualifying session for the Sprint race.
  4. Complete the Sprint race.
  5. Complete the qualifying session for the main Grand Prix.
  6. Start the main Grand Prix.
  7. The starting grid is based on the Sprint race results instead of the Grand Prix qualifying results.

This can cause unfair starting positions in online races, especially in league racing, because the qualifying session for the main race does not seem to affect the grid correctly.

Thank you for looking into this issue.

Best regards,
RomitHH
