Please, PLEASE! Cancel the auto-pit stop at last lap! You're short of fuel?? It's YOUR problem! Your car slows down and makes it to the end at low speed!
I just lost the Championship because of this STUPID thing! I had enough fuel to do one more lap in Brazil, pit stop started lightening but I CANCELED it! But it send my car to pit anyway! I couldn't avoid it even tho I had enough fuel to do one more lap!
I just lost the Championship because of this! I was gonna win the race and I finished in P16! Tomorrow is last race of the season and I'm now 21 points behind! Could have been 8 points ahead!
This is so UNFAIR!
PLEASE, do something about this!

Agreed...had this happen a few times.. at the worse times...I have posted a similar post relating to this....you have to hit the cancel button about a million times to make sure it doesn't do it...and it sometimes still does..then sometimes your looking at one driver and before you know it the other has pit...

You can change it before the race...
Strategy and then show me more

I agree on the fact that it is hella hard to hit the right spot for the button to cancel the auto-pit. But taking out the auto-pit all together would also cancel the auto-pit when fuel reaches 0.
I stick to 'change the number on when to autopit' from 1.1 to 0.8 0r 0.7. Cuz 0.7 is always in the exact lap u wanna pit, unless u choose to drive the last part of the lap without fuel, which i doubt anyone wants to do.

If that are your numbers then auto-pit behaves quite inconsistent over different races. Earlier this year auto-pit used to trigger with one lap of fuel plus 0.3-0.4 litres in my case, but the last few months it's more 0.1-0.2 litres. I even did manage, with using quite some higher push in that last lap and one of the last pits in the lane, to actually get a run out of fuel message in the pit lane for a car I didn't cancel auto-pit. On the whole I have to cancel it very rarely anymore and reducing it any more would mean that's not sure anymore that cars actually make it through the lap without running out of fuel.
So an option to just disable any auto-pit, both fuel and weather, sounds like the better option, perhaps together with an advanced strategy option to dial in a lap number together with the fuel to set up the race your way even if you're not online, or get disconnected. Disabling auto-pit only for being online bears the risk that untimely connection problems, like the ones with the cancel pits now, may have cars retiring.

Frank
an advanced strategy option to dial in a lap number
Now that is a really good idea.
Simple solution
Great
