Bumping to agree, and desperately hoping that they patch the car performance. It's like the driver ratings are overriding the car performance or something.
In my first two races in my 2026 career save I experienced the following...
Starting grid in Australia had Williams P7 and P8, Stroll P13, Audi P16 and P17, Racing Bulls at P18* and P21* (Linblad got a penalty so he started P22, Lawson started P20.)
Starting Grid in Bahrain had Williams P8 and P10 yet again. Why??? They should barely be making it out of Q3, if at all. Same with Aston, Alonso qualified P12, and Racing Bulls yet again P16, and P22* (Penalty for the driver in P22). Even Haas was uncharacteristically low in P21 with Bearman, yet Ocon was P11???
This is with whatever patch was applied as well for the mid-season ratings updates, but it seems like Racing Bulls/Audi got what Aston Martin/Williams should've gotten. The graphs are correct, showing that, yes, Williams, Aston Martin, and Cadillac are the bottom three teams. So why are the whole field within 2.5 seconds of the lead time??? Clearly there's something off here.
