Why is it a competitive disadvantage not being able to see who has the most developed area of their car? You can see which areas you are behind in on mobile as it is and that's is all that really matters is it not? You also get told in your after race email who has the most developed car(this doesn't necessarily mean the fastest car though).

I voted no due to the wording of your poll questions. It isn't a competitive disadvantage so there is simply no need for it and having looked at it again this morning there probably is no space anywhere on that screen to show the leading team(more space needed when 2/3/4 teams have the same points in that area)

If the mobile app could rotate to landscape instead of being stuck on portrait there may well be options open space wise for what you are requesting.

Sorry if I worded my Poll in a way you disagreed with. In my opinion, Not knowing who is strong at what is something you should know, especially when others can.

You don't need to know who is strong, you just need to know the difference between your design and that of the strongest so that you can determine your optimum research strategy. How does not knowing which team is strongest in an attribute put you at a disadvantage? Even if you did know you can't do anything about it.

It is rare for one team to be strongest in all attributes, most often different teams are strongest in different areas. So even if you did know that for example Team X is strongest in acceleration you have no idea how many or how few dp they have in the other 7 attributes.

In a very competitive league most managers leave it until as late as possible before lockdown to assign their dp to keep their competitors from knowing where they're strong and in an effort to thwart the other teams research strategy.

Finally, some managers will always ensure they are NEVER strongest in any one attribute, always choosing to keep their design 1 point lower than the strongest so that they don't show their hand.

I always play on a PC, I can see who is strongest in each attribute but it wouldn't bother me if the developers removed this. I don't think it puts you at a disadvantage, the screen area on many mobile phones is too small to accommodate the detail you ask for so probably a better solution to level the playing field would be to remove it from the browser version of the game.

That is one way of looking at it. I know we disagree but I think your point is valid: that is the (as I choose to interpret it) available for all or none. That is what I am trying to say, but I had not thought if it like that. Thanks for your feedback.

I'd be tempted to bet large that the no votes came from PC players.. ?

I doubt that, more likely players that think it's not important, and also it'd be browser players as I'm on mobile browser right know and that information is one swipe and two buttons away if I'd bother doing it.

While I don't deem that information really important I  don't see why there couldn't be one of those info, or another, icons to the right of those bars (more than enough unused space to the left of the attribute icons and names on this device at least) which opens a tooltip with the team name(s) once tapped on. Would also put those bars a little bit further away from the edge which I think would look better at least.

Like that last point.
