Disappointed to see you holding on to the 'no participation' approach...
You have now effectively given Bottas, Ricciardo and Verstappen a $300.000 bonus, which is completely unfair towards all the other drivers that did go out in FP2.
I hope you will reconsider this approach for an eventual next time and certainly for next season.
This is a fundamental flaw that exists in the dynamics of the game in comparison to the actual race weekend. And it needs to be thought about and addressed.
For the actual race, the free practices do not count for anything. In this game you have chosen to make them more important by attaching points and money to each position.
As such, you should treat these rare occasions differently than the FIA does. For them it doesn't matter if the drivers that don't go out get listed or not, but to the game it does!
I think we should approach it like this:
Each driver that participates in a session is basically starting as being #20.
They need to go out and do their best to get a higher position.
If they do go out, the official system will list them, and we can use those positions and attach the game's amount of points and money.
If they do NOT go out, the system will not list them, but in the game we should treat them as not having moved from #20.
This way it will always be fair.
