Wholly
If you out qualify others then it must be your race strategy that is causing the loss in pace. What does the winner do and maybe next time your there at the track copy and see what happens.
If the strategy is the same and your still slow then it could be race management, knowing when to push and not push, how you take advantage of DRS and boost etc. Without looking at your history all I can suggest is to watch what others do, when I first joined elite I found a league with high rep players and then learnt a lot from them.
I see you staff could be better, you need to find 4.5-5 star staff as this will help you every race, also try and get higher talent drivers from the transfer market.
Every league is different, a winner in one league could join another and be last all the time.
Get rid of your no1 driver. Although you are only lvl 10 and still learning he is a talent 1 driver so is useless even in a Rookie league. Buy a replacement in the transfer market and train them otherwise you are always going to struggle.
Focus training initially on physical until stamina is 30 and BMI is green, then focus on Driver Attributes and then Mental. Try to buy as high a talent driver as you can and your staff will need to be replaced every time you tier up. Also, go and watch an elite race at the track you are next to race at and look at the tactics.
Looking at your last 2 races your strategy was wrong for each track -Hungary at current temps need SS at PL5 with one stint on S, Bahrain will favour M or H with opening stint on S or SS. When you are in NRF season you want to limit your pit stops and look to have longer stints so M and H tyres will come more into play with SS &S as the choice for first stint. When your League is in a refuelling season it’s the opposite and need short and more frequent stints to keep your cat fast and light .
Finally, read the following 2 guides in help & Support - ‘Chassis Development’ by Kevin Bissell (top managers get their biggest edge by knowing how to maximise your car development throughout the season) and ‘iGP Manager Complete Guide’ by Rhys James. Both essential reads when you are first starting out. Once you get more experience start taking notes for each race and track so you can learn what strategy and tyres work best at different temps for each track. This game is often 70/80% prep and 30/20% actual racing
