My experience with the Teammate bug

Recommended Posts

Hey guys heres my experience with the teammate bug. I'm on ferrari and 78% difficulty with full tc (I know i'm a noob) but so far the teammate bug isn't really affecting me as much vettel is still keeping up with me top 3 to top 5 finishes. Some cases he will just randomly fall back in some races but so far nothing wrong with my teammate so I don't know if i'm lucky. I hope the bug does get fixed.  Also he does fall back when I'm in the lead so its sorta affecting me

Still not sure if it effects all teams. Most reports are from McLaren. A few from Sauber. Maybe it's more noticeable with the lower teams.

I'm driving with mclaren. It's unplayable atm, alonso has no engine upgrades and is always at the back. Still waiting for codemasters to fix this.

Same here Vettel is usually putting up top times with me but sometimes in the races he does fall back for some reason
I believe this might be to do with the AI sometimes switching between Rich, Standard and Lean fuel mixtures during the race. I'm still on S1 100% (restarted my career x2) and noticed this through watching the replays of the AI compared to me and the dials on the steering wheel. This is just a theory but I think they switch it around when they're under/over their fuel target. So sometimes you'll get some of the AI using lean fuel at the start as they're under fuel target and will stick there till they're on target and switch to standard. If they're a 1+, they switch to Rich and once they're into the - they change to lean. In China I was on the straight catching my teammate (Wehrlein) and overt took him quite easily. Yes I had DRS but it seemed he was just that bit slower, so I checked the replay and saw he was on lean fuel mix while I was on Rich. About 2 laps later I had to switch to lean as I was -2 under fuel with 7 laps to go and noticed my teammate was catching me over 0.5 to 1 sec a lap. Again I looked on the replay and saw he was on Rich fuel mix
