I understand that when you set up your car(s) it’s a good idea to wait until as close to the start of the race as you can. To ensure that your setup will match the weather during the race.
Today we are in Singapore. And looking at the weather I know tomorrow and the next day it’s supposed to rain. But today it is going to be partly sunny.
I setup my cars around 13:35. 14:00 is the race start time. And I know it locks out at 13:50. So I kept my eye on my cars and the weather. Then right around 13:50 my setup suddenly is out of wack. But the weather hasn’t changed at all. Same temp, same partly sunny. My settings that were perfect 3 minutes before were suddenly way too high AND my suspension was all wrong.
How is that possible? I’ve had it suddenly start raining after I set up and couldn’t do anything about since I was locked out but today was weird.

Are you saying the feedback from the driver changed or the actual values for the car setup changed?

The feedback from the drivers changed. The actual values for the car setup didn’t change. Sorry I should have been more clear.

With my older account I had something like this once, but as I left the setup page open for a while after the race locked. I figured the driver might now commenting based on the next track after the race currently in progress. The reason I thought that is that he wanted a different suspension as well which is something I don't now any circumstance which would cause the driver to change his mind about that and his wish did match the setting for the track following the race.

Fortunately, the feedback from the drivers changing after qualifying begins is a bug. This happens after every qualifying. It's been very low on the list of things to fix because it does not affect anything vital. The car is still in its ideal/perfect set up for the race.
