A.I can't overtake each other easily enough.

Recommended Posts

So in my first race most of the front runners did 2 stops, and then some others did 1 stops on harder tyres which is fair enough. The only issue is when the frontrunners pitted for the 1st stop and ended up behind some of the one stoppers they just couldn't get past for quite alot of laps.

I just found it very unrealistic that both mercedes cars on fresh softer tyres couldn't overtake a Renault on used hard tyres. The exact same situation with both red bulls stuck behind a Sauber for many many laps after they pitted for fresh softs.

This was on a 50% race by the way.

For me that was also quite an issue in F1 2016. ONLY on 50% races. 1 stop strategies on some tracks were just too powerful. Especially teams like Toro Rosso & Force India were the benefactors of this strategy. Did not happen on 100% races to me, they had enough time on each individual stints to outperform the 1 stoppers easily. On 50% races there wasnt enough life in the softer compounds in my opinion to make a great difference. While all tyres obv. lasted not that long on 50% races the pace difference was not really adjusted. On 100% races this has never been an issue for me.

But well, 100% races take a very long time ..
