Lapped cars will not be allowed to overtake under safety car

so, you're 15th, 1m30 behind the 14th, mainwhile 14 drivers in front are grouped behind sefty car.

your chance to get any benefit of sefty car is ruined. and it's happening everytime a sefty car came out, so, pretty much often. is it an actual game you can influence results being a manager or just a movie ?? cause you don't control A THING as a manager. it's kinda problematic. it's more F1 Spectator 22 rather than F1 manager 22 to me.

on rain condition 100% cpu have the perfect strategy. on first lap never an incident. most of races are boring because positions are defined by database and there is no much events on track. feedbacks are limited to very basic and repetitive notification, as commentary, that not even pronounce the driver name when you don't pick one of the 20 original drivers.. theses game devs never watched a single race or the game was released without any proper testings.

massive effort on graphic and audio. and great spectator simulator. but not a management game. at least as a speactator simulation we should deserve more camera and replays, and more action during races. there is a reason if motorsport manager don't provide 3 practice sessions. it's super boring and you don't want spend 90% of your game time playing practices, while fast forwarding boring races.

They will fix unlapping behind saftey car at some point, but if you've been lapped by 14 cars, I would just retire at that point anyway :P

As for rain, the AI never has perfect strategy, they always pit at least one lap too late, and they don't look at radar before the race starts, starting drivers on softs when rain is expected lap 30 is pretty dumb, wet races are always my biggest margins of victory, i've lapped verstappen in a Williams.

I fell victim to this at Sao Paulo. I went from a cheap pit stop to being unable to overtake the car ahead of me because the game treated the car ahead of me as being a lap ahead instead of the car in P1.

I experienced the exact opposite. I wasn't able to anticipate rain to come/stop while all the computers were accurate at guessing what would happens in 20 future laps. maybe AI don't behave the same in different contexts, some choices like team choices may acts as a difficulty choice without knowing it.

any cars that are in front of the race leader will be let go but if they are behind the race leader as they get to the safety car they are stuck

If it looked like the AI made the correct decisions, it was just luck of the situation.
Too many times they pit for dry tires just before rain starts. Too many times they pit for inters just before it goes to full wets
Too many times they pit for full wets when it's only going to be past 4.00mm for less than 2 laps.
They react for the best thing to do 'now' they have no forward planning what so ever.

Weird thing is the game actually does allow un-lapping under the safety car, as its worked properly for me in a few races. When it bugs out though its extremely obvious, and causes chaos.
