About 9-12 months ago, Andrew said he was going to alter the figures so that push levels made more of a difference to passing.
EG 5/5 softs will not sit behind 1/5 softs for 3 laps without passing.
Is there any sort of ETA on this yet? It's still happening like it always was and it is ruining races. If it has already been done I suggest re-addressing the problem because the alterations weren't effective enough imo.
yea i agree with that, its very odd, on 1st laps with everyone on 5/5 people just seem to glide past each over and back again passing galore, then when someones not online and are on 2/5 compared to everyone else's 5/5 most of the time its like trying to go through an immovable wall untill Kers kicks because DRS is usless cus u stuck in a que of 15 cars or something like that while the guys that qualified ahead are going 2-4 secs a lap quicker.
I even had a guy on 1/5 push overtake me half way round the 1st lap while i was still 5/5 in a que of cars before.
it should be hard to overtake when u both on same temp tyres and push level but if u r 5/5 and warmer tyres against a guy on 2/5 and stone cold tyres it should be much easier to overtake.
Yeah thats the other thing too. If you're in traffic and you're being held up by a 1/5 guy while you're on 5/5, you get other 1/5 and 2/5 guys passing you aswell. It's ridiculous.
Even more annoying when you're on 5/5, stuck behind a 1/5 guy, and a bunch of people pass you AND the 1/5 guy while you're still stuck burning up your tyres.
It's just unrealistic and needs to be addressed asap. It's been too long.
