bug changing car parts

[B3lgaraath]

It happened twice already to me. During a race weekend, after one of the cars is retired due to a crash or mechanic failure I cannot change the car parts when being back on the menus (although there's the piece on the warehouse)
It just allows me to change the car part after starting a new gp, with obvious penalizations. Is that a bug? Thank's in advance

I think this is the F1 normal rule, if the accident happens during the race.

But I'm saying that I cannot change the car part when going back to the regular menus, where you can change the part and do all the other stuff.

Question.. F1 2024 when the have a car malfunction they should have smoke coming out. I had a car have a malfunction the whole race with no smoke of no power loss. Any one know if this will be fixed? It would be great to have the malfunction car smoke more.

How many parts does it say you have in the warehouse?

If it says two, you have no spares. For some reason the game seems to count the one mounted on the car as being in the warehouse.

Just in case your head is as unsorted as mine: Whoever made that UI was drunk. You have to click on part missing, then go to another menu to replace it, and in that menu you have to click on the left on a part to then select on the right in which car you want to place it.

Just in case thats whats the problem, went crazy on that one the first time.

If you have to replace engine, power unit or gearbox, you can do so as long its from the stock you have, if you buy a new engine for example, that gives you a start-penalty, as do the other two devices if you need to buy more.
