What did you try to do?
play a game that's not full of bugs.

What happened instead?
1) from pit lane entry to pit end, you need to use zero fuel, people are pitting right behind each other in the pits, and due to the random pitboxes, they are losing over 2s and 3 places ruining races.
2) I did a practice without adding my 20 points, I then added 20 points to Acceleration and the slower car was quicker by 0.13s.
3) practices without altering the ride height/wing level have been quicker than the correct ride/wing level.
4) Non attending cars KERS is ruining races.

Did the problem happen while using wi-fi, mobile data, or both?

every race in every pit

All these bugs have been happening constantly for a month now, you have a lot of unhappy people wanting to leave the game including me if things don't improve, Its a pit box lottery

Agree with the pit boxes, but as odd as practice can be (full wets at 4mms are quicker than inters at 2.3mm by 1.2 seconds round GB19) I think there is not much they can do about that.

A bit harsher than you mentioned in-race Al! But yes, in Australia I lost 4 places in the pit lane, taking me from 7th to 11th in one fell swoop. I have found the same thing as Samuel mentioned (in different cirumstances) as well. The rest I suppose is driver error (*Oh wait, that's not a thing. Hmm*)

Thanks for posting this. Everything you said is the absolute truth. And many historical players already left all the leagues they were in.

The pit issue is under investigation, but the devs and Jose need videos, or at least race IDs and information which cars were involved and at which pit stop it happened, as they need to have a clear understanding what goes on there. Also it needs to be clear if people talking about newer issues or the old, so called, prape (a car being blocked by another one that enters the lane after finishing its stop), that's in the game since the beginning (of this major version at least).

For 2) and 3) you are aware that practice laps are very random due to driver errors (only switched off for Qualification) and setup is affecting lap times way less, especially if it's only a few clicks off. Same for a few points, those 20 Acceleration are still worth a mere 10 from a few weeks ago. That's not much in lap time at all especially if the balance in the car is moved to the worse. Yes, I personally really wish setup was a bit more complex, would not be the same every time and would leave a bit more guesswork and rather offer a range of good setups instead one single value and you'd have to find the one fitting to your car and strategy and getting it wrong would have a bit more impact. Some of that I'll likely never see as it's too demanding for the casual player and to complex to neatly fit on the App. But I can hope (for a hardcore mode perhaps one day).

4) Yes, if I, like today, seem to have rotten luck catching DRS from them and then the opponent gets double DRS just to be overtaken by the AI with lots of boost usage to get it next lap from the same car again is frustrating, but that's life. A lot of players want even more stuff happening randomly in races, I sure hope that's not going to happen. I can only hope AI driver gets a buff from absolute idiocy to almost intelligent, but I'm not sure if cutting down its racing ability even more is good solution, even though it would be better for my mood sometimes.

Edit: Double post as this part contains too much personal opinion I think.

"Prapes" Are still around and in force. Trust me, now tyre economy is effectively halved for the first few races, everyone pits together, and your pit box no. is as crucial as car speed for the first stint.

Yes, but that one is no bug but the result of a design choice in the game (cars can't just pass each other in the lane and the car entering lane from its pits has the right of way), although even the other way round you might still be blocked, but perhaps less so as the passing car blocking is likely already/still at speed instead just starting to accelerate and unless you have one of the first pits and most of the time are the one leading a long train or vice versa it might happen more equally, but also there might be more likely a chance of a row of several cars blocking.

There's a bug, or unintended effect, in single car leagues though with the massive pit sharing, which increases the already present problem of already twice as many cars pitting at the same time.

The bugs I'm referring to that needs user input are some cars loosing seconds, sometimes twice or three times the regular stop, standing in their pit as if their pit is blocked (or the crew forgot where they put the tyres, or fuel) for no apparent reason and some cars, after getting blocked for example, getting passed in the lane as if they are not there.

I don’t know the race ID, but in the race in Bahrain, 2 days ago. I lost 6 seconds to the race winner in the 2nd stop (Laps 28/29). I pitted just behind him and came out several places behind him, 6 seconds behind him. Not sure if you are able to see. Not sure how we are meant to send in recordings when we don’t know this is going to happen

include a pit team bit in the headquarters and let us train them, then we will know how long stop will take.

It cost me in Today’s race only me and 1 other car pitted at the same time for 3 pit stops, we both pitted at the same time, icons on the screen was touching all 3 stops my pit box was beginning of pit lane my opponents the other end 
I lost time to my opponent on all 3 pit stops I was ahead Going into 1 stop and came out behind, the other two I lost time causing me to not even be in drs range by the end of the lap

Similar thing has happened to me as well in multiple races, come into the pit first and get overtaken by cars pitting after me. As it was a mate who was playing, we compared our pit times and even though I pitted quicker than him, he still managed to overtake me, pretty demotivating.
