Drivers getting penalties for being hit from behind

Sort it out devs. That's too stupid

Irritatingly, it turns out that drivers locking up and crashing into cars ahead of them is very common in this game (I just had it in a practice session which is far too stupid.. wth are they doing treating practice like it's a race - faster people should not be defended, or slower people attacked like it's a race during practice) - as is locking up and having a pathetic looking crash into a wall (that could be far from the lock up) that looks practically intended by the driver. Incidents need improving - and increasing diversity. Makes me wonder if the designers even watch F1.. or even motorsports whatsoever.

Ya cracked me up watching Leclerc and Hamilton in practice and on the exact same turn, have the exact same crash animation where they locked up changed their angle ever soooooo slightly and look like they are going to stop, but then kind of coast into the tire wall for two car lengths.

Like they said part way in the lock up, "On second thought I want a drink, guess I will crash so i can stop by the pit."

I have had a practice session can't remember which race track where half the grid crashed and had penalty but I don't know whatever happened to the penalty because it seemed they were never applied and just vanished.

I once had a funny crash where my driver was involved in a crash of two cars in front of him. He managed to brake and then got hit jus a second later by cars behind him.

Not only was it quite confusing to have those crash-scenes without a pre-warning and no chance to cancel them, to see several of them in a row is even more confusing, and getting a penalty for being hit by others is just strange.

The whole behavior there, as well as the number of incidents in some races by one driver, needs some tweaking. It may be funny sometimes, but if you have good drivers out there who spins 4 to 5 times on a single race even when in slow pace just dont feels right.

I can understand that you end up with a guaranteed spin if you go max-wear on your tires all the time, even if I dont think that should be a "mus", what the heck are you hiring the best drivers for?

Yeah, it is happening sometimes. No big deal. Are you guys new on manager games?

Ehh. I play tons of manager games and its not normal. I haven't seen my player getting a red card for being fouled in Football manager to make a comparison.
