Several question about gameplay.

hi there
             i am new the game and i was have a few questions,

1.during a race if the tyre is hot does that mean its slower than when its grey? if so is it faster to be on take it easy? or back off? just to maintan the
tyre temp?

2. in qual if you set them to PUSH HARD, does that mean its a quicker lap cause they have acess to higher power settings for the engine?

3. the talent atribute in the driver stats is non trainable and is the key to having a Fast driver?

4. cars will never breakdown unless the part % reaches 0?

Thanks in advance

1. It seems grey to light pink is ideal foe speed and wear
2.you cannot set qual push level. It is set to the highest push
3.talent is a part. Many other factors
4. At this time that is correct. It has been stated random breakdown is possible but chances are extremely small

so things like engine wear and relieablity dont really mean anything in the engine contracts part? so idealy you should just pick the one thats most powerful?

I believe we were told that all the attributes shown play a part, but to what extent is unknown. So the most powerful engine may not be the best
