Short press Overtake for 3 seconds of boost and hold to extend, like Mclaren do IRL.

Like many others have said, having Overtake as a toggle and having to turn it off manually is a bit annoying, but instead of switching it to a hold, I suggest changing it to the system Mclaren use IRL: a short press results in 3 seconds of boost, after which Overtake disengages automatically, with the possibility to hold the button during those 3 seconds to extend the boost until the button is released. Clicking the button again within those 3 seconds should not extend the boost. For reference, you can check the videos from the official F1 YouTube channel that show the radio messages from the last laps of the 2 races.

I think this is a good suggestion, particularly as it's apparently closer to real life.

There are a bunch of posts on this topic.  I agree.  It should be an option.  Push-to-hold or toggle.

And any moment now a Mod will merge all these posts together into the Overtake Button Mega Thread.  🤣
