Would like that feature, maybe it could be added to the' 'change front wing'  MFD setting, so you can choose yes, no, or front wing only for your next pitstop.

They've never done such a thing in real life as it generally takes longer to change the wing compared to the tyres
It's not to save the time, but in case the tyres you had on were fresh, it sometimes forces you on used or slower tyres so it can mess up the strategy later in the race, so sometimes it's best to stay on the same set.

So when they go for a pitsstop and they put fresh tyres on it. 1 lap later he has contact with another car and his ront wing has to be changed.

You think they will put another set of tyres on the car while they only were on the car for 1 lap when they change the frontwing? lol.

as Worntoathread said it can at times mess with your strategy late on and also because of the mandatory tyre rule it confuses the situation while in mid race it was the main reason i asked the question and thanks for all your replys much appreciated guys

AFAIK even in real life if you broke front wing or have any problems you have to change the tyres, even though they were new for example. I don't see a reason why it should be different in the game.

In game and real life if you pit early with a broken wing they will always change the strategy and put on harder tyres, this is so the next pit stop will be after everyone else has their first stop to hopefully gain places back and help clear lower team back markers. Hope that makes sense

yes. Just like in real life you wouldn't put on the same kind of tires but instead, you need to choose to put on harder tires because  your pit plan has now changed by you coming in. Then later in the race, you use the fresh tires you just took off. Doesnt anyone watch the real races?
