No fuel at the start of a race???

[Adit]

My biggest issue is severe underfueling.

I paid 100 dollars for a game that has me at NEGATIVE fuel level at the start of a race? I had this problem in 2018 too, is this a bug? I can't increase my fuel load at the start of the race because it's already at max and gives a fuel warning???

Codemasters please fix

never ever seen this before

I think someone doesnt understand fuel mixtures

I think what you are meaning is your fuel delts , when it shows you -1lap fuel etc. it means that you need to save fuel for one more lap or youll run out of fuel on the last lap , if that is what you mean

[AVIONICS]

are you talking about career or multiplayer? I am playing career and Multiplayer Both. No issue

[FATE]

you probably seeing fuel usage estimation, decrease fuel mix to make sure you have enough fuel to complete the race

I think this is to do with the practice programs possibly just the race simulation one.
I seem to remember people having problems if they skip it.
Another possibility is if you run the test with altered fuel consumption (my guess is high)
I've run into this problem only once and that was when I was struggling to reach the race simulation times so I cranked up the fuel mix.
I started the race a few laps negative but luckily by running in lean for most of the race finished.
Its probably worth testing.
This has been flagged up a lot last year. If you search for F1 2018 fuel bug you might find a solution that works.
If nothing works probably best to log a support request over on the codemasters forums. Freya is quite active especially close to launch.

Lol noob. Get your facts straight before blaming Codemasters. You should blame yourself. You are looking at a DELTA not total laps of fuel.

Probably for realism.
In some races in real life where drivers are at full throttle for a large percentage of the lap, fuel saving to reach the end is a necessity.

Max fuel of 110kg at one track might easily be enough, but at another more demanding track you will need to use low fuel mixture at some points of the race to make the end - just like real life.

If the monitor shows you would not have enough fuel to complete the race on normal fuel mixture, that just means you will need to use low fuel mixture (or lift and coast) at some points in the race which is realistic.

It's you using too much fuel in practice programmes, try to be more efficent and you'll see it will be better.

Dollars? You're not in the UK thank God!
Wait...does your surname start with a 'T'?:

I found a way to fix it you have to go in the game and at the grid where the strategies are sometimes your fuel is underloaded and cant put more. What you have to do is prees the toogle personalized/projected.
