CarloLewis 418 Posted July 9 (edited) Apologies if this is the wrong section, as I'm not overly familiar with F2, I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. In the F2 sprint race, is it common for teams to pit for a tyre change? I've started a career doing a full F2 season. Feature race was a nightmare and finished 19th pitting 3 times, meaning I had to use my medium tyre that was being saved for the sprint race. Started the sprint race 19th on my couple of laps old medium tyres and managed a couple of overtakes. Halfway through the race I noticed that people had started pitting and slowly found myself 1st without overtaking anyone else. Managed to hold on to the lead with my worn tyres for the race win. Turned out the entire field pitted except me. Edited July 9 by CarloLewis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobble2020 24 Posted July 9 (edited) Why stop if you don't have to , would be my thoughts , If you can make the tyres last so much the better , if you were supposed to make a stop it would have told you and disqualified you Edited July 9 by Bobble2020 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I were you I'd file a bug report Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarloLewis 418 Posted July 10 Thanks both, but I'm still no clearer. Do teams normally pit during the sprint race in F2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnboy83 88 Posted July 11 (edited) Actually occasionally they do. But vary rarely and most of the time it doesn’t work out well for them, but my main memory is Charles Leclerc in 2017 in Bahrain. Pitted for new tires in the sprint race and races from last to first in 12 laps passing 1st and 2nd on the last lap. An overtaking masterclass on his new tyres. First time I’d noticed him and thought this guy is gonna be special. Edited July 11 by johnboy83 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The entire grid pitted except me, so I guess that the AI "thought" that they needed to pit as per F1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
