Team Radio Issues (PS5)

I am running into loads of bugs with the team radio on PS5. I don’t know if these are mode specific, as I’ve only really played Driver Career, but I suspect they are present throughout the game.

Some of the issues include:

  • The names of drivers being given incorrect. The engineer constantly refers to Norris as Piastri, ie “Piastri the car ahead” when it’s Norris. And referring to Piastri as “the McLaren driver”. 
  • Ocon and Bearman are referred to as “The Aston Martin driver” which is neither their name or the correct team.
  • Telling me my team mate is in the pits when they aren’t.
  • Incorrect reports on vehicle damage. Such as my DRS stopped working but it told me there was a problem with the engine.
  • Incorrect timings. For example telling me the car ahead is 3 seconds away when it’s closer to 1 second.
  • The lap after a pit stop I get a message that my lap times are too erratic and to try have more consistent laps. Obviously there’s going to be a big difference after a pit stop.
  • Radio silence. This has only happened a few times but there are times where I have no Race Engineer at all and only saving and reloading mid race fixes this.

There are several other bugs as well but these have been the most common that I’ve come across.

    Guys, something should be done with the whole Piastri thing. It seems like Marc is obsessed with Piastri, because basically whoever sets the fastest lap, he says it is Piastri. So annoying!

    It’s ridiculous that 2 months later these issues have still not been fixed.

    I also still can’t understand how this wasn’t picked up in testing.
    Surely every other driver being called Piastri, or being told to pit every lap and some drivers having no name at all, being merely called “the driver” or “Aston Martin driver” etc, should have been flagged up on the first play through. Not to mention the timings being total gibberish.

    Whilst team radio isn’t game breaking as such, it’s the only way to ascertain what’s happening around you and decide plan a strategy on the fly. Without correct information it’s all just a guessing game and a massive immersion breaker.

    I have similar issues, it says Leclerc is Piastri for me everytime he has the fastest lap, also anytime I use Team Radio the game crashes for me moments later after audio distortion.
