[PC]- Career mode - Game doesn't know how to count points in Constructors Championship ^^

[PhenixHeaven 2]

Hi,

I had a funny "bug" during Season 3 in career : after the last Abu Dhabi GP, my team Renault and Ferrari ended up having the very same amount of points (570 each I believe).

In real life, such a tie is decided by the number of victories (and if tie again, then 2nd places, and so on). Renault had 10 wins, Ferrari 9... Therefore Renault should have been declared Champion, and I should have received a Constructors Trophy at the end of the season.

Instead, the game failed to understand that the season was over, and that Renault won by their number of wins. It just... "skipped" the Constructors championship's result altogether.

Not a real "bug", but I found funny that the game couldn't deal with such a tie - not a very likely one, I agree. Nevertheless, something needs to be fixed regarding points calculation, wouldn't you say ?

Agree, but the patch cycle is over for F1 2019. Hopefully the developers will check for this in F1 2020. It is definitely a bug.

@BarryBL I didn't use it because, well, it didn't seem very relevant to me... But sure, with pleasure ^^
