Dupont - 4th stint - Why did he pit early? He had more than enough fuel to do another lap. I was afk at the time but when I returned to my computer it had PIT highlighted for Dupont, so it came on by itself. I can't understand why.

Please ignore Diaz. I manually pit him on the same lap because when I returned to my computer and saw Dupont pitting I thought Diaz had a bug and wasn't going to pit when he was supposed to, so I forced him to pit at the same time.

Dupont on the other hand, i have no idea, hopefully someone can explain it to me. He would have had 4.2L crossing the line which is more than enough for a lap at Malaysia, so I don't see why it automatically pit him a lap early.

Unfortunately Enos I cannot see the fuel loads that will appear on your screen.

My only suggestion for now is that he was on perhaps a higher ''push'' for more time than previous stints, increasing average fuel consumption. I say that, as a wild guess, because I beleive you'd already set the stints to have same fuel loads pre-race.

The fuel levels were the same every stint. 7.9L with two laps til pit, 4.2L with 1 lap until pit. 5/5 lap uses 3.9, 1/5 lap uses 3.7. I had enough fuel definitely. Both drivers were running the same push any way. It makes no sense as to why one would automatically come on and the other wouldn't.

Driver was on 1/5 softs, no increases in push.

Hmm yes very consistant data, I have no idea then as to why he chose to come in. 4.2L is most definately enough on 1/5

Sometimes I've noticed the 'PITTING' green light to be buggy. It can light up and I'm thinking ''What? No way not yet'', and the driver just stays out, or I just click it off.

Yeah that's the annoying part, even if I did have him on 5/5 (which I didn't, i'm sure the devs can tell that by looking in their data, he was on 1/5) he still had enough fuel to do 2 laps from the 7.9L mark.
