in f1 manager, a team who worth 2 will never finish 10, a team who worth 20 who never finish 10.

worse, when verstappen finish 1, perez will never finish 8 or 12, when alonso will finish 3, stroll will never finish 15.

same apply for qualy, in real life even hamilton, perez or sainz might struggle to reach q3, but will never be the case in the game, cause of ddriver stats "89" or "90" mean they can't have a track where they're not confortable on.

finally, the weakness point of AI is strategy, everyone behaves the same, especially on rain, and the AI always humiliate the human driver when it comes to rain anticipation.

just watch real f1 to figure how boring and scripted theses AI behaves. does everyone has perfect strategies in real life? i don't think so, even alonso couldn't predict that the rain would suddenly fall in monaco. some teams like haas will try "creative" strategies because it's their only way to score points. ferrari waiting for safety car in abu dhabi, ruining their own chances.

real f1 is unpredictable. f1 manager is scripted by styats with almost zero room for surprizes. i understand how tricky if could be to provide "fair" result with different hierarchy on each race, but aston martin wen from first to last, mclaren from last to first, and williams from last to midfield at regular occasions in real life.

since you worked hard to provide lot of stuff to do during race event itselves, it should be much better if races were more entertaining, with a commentator who actually comment the race. that kind of small detail that any player would appreciate. thanks

Yeah, still my main issue and the one thing preventing me from coming back to the game. Whilst there might be variation race by race (usually due to engine wear differences and AI not changing their car parts until they're dead), ultimately the championship reverts to car order. And most races without a major incident will do so too. It's predictable and, frankly, a bit boring. It's down to the fact the car's capabilities is what drives the result, and the driver has neglible effect unless they're utterly woeful compared to their teammate (Piastri at the start v Lando for instance).
