Description:
Platform: PC
Game Mode: Driver Career
Driver: Andrea Kimi Antonelli
Track: Melbourne (Australia GP)
Lap: 38 / 58
Version: F1 25 (latest)
Assist Settings: All assists off – manual DRS, manual ERS
Issue Type: Race Logic / Positioning Bug after Red Flag
During my Driver Career race in Melbourne with Antonelli, I was in P2 when a red flag was issued on lap 38 of 58. I entered the pits during the red flag phase and switched to new Medium tyres.
After the red flag period ended and the restart sequence began, the game suddenly placed me in P7 on the grid – despite not receiving any penalty and being clearly second before the red flag (see screenshots attached).
This completely broke the race logic and progression, as I unfairly lost five positions through no fault of my own. The restart grid order seems to have ignored my on-track position and tyre change completely.
Expected Result:
After a red flag and tyre change during the red flag phase, the game should correctly restore the running order and place the driver back on the grid in the position they held before the red flag.
Actual Result:
I was dropped from P2 to P7 after the restart without justification, losing my track position and chance to fight for the win.
