Red Flag - Grid Order Mixed Up for Restart

Hi,

Playing on PS5, single race Grand Prix mode. Red flag occurred on lap 5 of a 15 lap race. I was P1 with Hamilton, P2 was Norris, P3 Tsunoda. On the Lap 7 restart, I was in position 18/19, with the rest of the grid equally random.

    Hey there,

    The team is unable to reproduce this. Could you give us more information? Which was the track when this happened?

    Could you also share with us the Report Code?

    Thanks!

  • I've had the same problem. I was in 1st and it put me on 17th for the restart. This happened to me in driver career mode in shanghai.

  • Just happened to me too. MyTeam career, Red Flag out of nowhere, was P1 restarted last….

    The team are really struggling to reproduce this issue internally. Are there any videos anyone can share, showing this issue occurring?

    Hey there,

    We are going to need more information on this issue:

    • What game modes were you playing before having this issue? (i.e.: if you moved from Career Mode to Grand Prix...)
    • Other than the red flag, did you do any other actions in-game? (i.e.: changing settings, minimising the title...)
    • Which platforms are you playing on?
    • What flag did you got in that race? Did you get time penalties or something more?

    Bought the game yesterday through Steam on PC. Went straight into myteam career. Full season. Icons disabled. Difficulty 88. Track: Suzuka, Japan. 35% race.

    Verstappen spun at final corner which brought Red flag at lap 11/19. My position went from p11 to p20.

    No other position changed. 

    No other actions done. Uninterrupted race upto the red flag grid reset. Didn't even pause the game before.

    No warnings or penalties of any kind.

    My strategy was to undercut. I pit when I was p2 on lap 6 and came out at the back of the grid. I was first to pit and most cars were yet to pit even upto the red flag. Maybe this can help replicate the bug.

  • Ive just had a somewhat similar issue. Playing My Team Career as ApxGP at Shanghai. Someone at the back spins and causes a red flag while me and my teammate are p13 and p14 respectively. The race restarts, everyone in the same place, however it says my teammate behind is in P1, and makes me concede position. He then finishes there. Why.....
