Problem with R&D on my career mode.

Recommended Posts

First of all i will apologize for any written error i will make on this post ; English isnt my main language.

Ok heres the thing ; im playing my career using the Renault team ive been making good progress on the game  and the car has been developped well anuff so its now a middle pack car above the likes of force india and McLaren ; So tecnicly my teammate magnussen should have i think show improvement in his qualifying and race results, the problem though is that it isnt the case, he still has the same pathetic resultson the back grid among sauber and manor . So i come here asking for someone of codemasters and people in general that use this forum if they have experienced a similar experience ; if its the case then its a huge bug cause if your teamate doesnt evolve just like you even with a far better car then before then it makes the whole R&D feature pointless ; sure the player still gets the improvement effects of a better car , but thats still what happened on other past F1 games that didnt had this new feature ; you could still do good on a shitty back grid car but your teammate would suck forever more.

SO thats mostly my question ; are the R&D upgrades applying to teamates as it should making position changes on the grid depending on it or is it bugged?

personally i do think its bugged ; cause my teammate isnt getting any better; and its not like i picked up noob jolyon palmer ; magnussen is a good driver ...

I thought this might happen but im only at China so far but im definitely faster than KMag now with 2 upgrades. Hope your teammate gets the upgrades too

im flabbergasted.... after shitty performances over shitty performances magnussen suddenly woke up and got himself a 10th place on the grid lol. i guess for some reason it takes more time for the teammate to get acess to the parts , wich makes no sense since he his first driver (first drivers have priority on the parts )and its strange that it got such a massive leep on one go cause parts where bought one by one...

in any case the feature works nevertheless so its a good thing ; i think though it doesnt work that well ; as i believe first drivers should have priority IA or human doesnt matter and the new parts should make a instant impact on the IA teammate, not several races after....time will tell...

next race at baku he his back at 18th place on the grid  while the car is in 5th in terms of development . it is really not making any sense ... this teammate R&D really isnt working as it should ; it isnt affecting the teammate AI pace at all.

Yeah, don't always expect AI drivers to qualify or finish where they should every race based on car performance, in my career Hamilton didn't make it into Q3 a couple of times and has only finished on the podium once after 4 races, while Rosberg and Kimi are the championship leaders.
