Game mechanics

For me to carry on playing I need to understand something I’m clearly missing. 

In a wet Monaco race, where the whole race was completed with maximum push levels by everyone and the tyres were still cold. 

How can anyone be soo much faster than everyone else, a league with multiple maxed drivers. My driver is 20 for everything, and yet I qualified slower (I was lighter first stint), and I was nowhere near their pace for the whole race. I was on maximum push! 

Look forward to someone explaining how there is such a discrepancy in pace, I understand when the push levels need changing throughout the race that there can be differences in performance based on track knowledge etc. But when the whole race is max push level, what else can you do? 

What were the strategies used? Did you do a different strat to the frontrunners?

I done a 20,20,20,18

The guy in 1st done like 23,23,23,11 or something, basically longer on every stint apart from the last. 

They out qualified everyone then disappeared into the distance. Pulling away from even the 4 stoppers on 12 laps of fuel. The key with this race is everyone was max push, so it’s not down to clever changes to push levels which I’d understand as a reason. But if they’re that far ahead of everyone with everyone in the same push level then what hope do I have ?

How’s his car development compared to yours?

I don't know the details of the race because in your championship there is the password so correct me if I'm wrong .... whoever won will start from pole so even if it was heavier it was impossible to overcome especially in monaco in the rain (in three years  I only saw one manager lose in the rain in Munich by starting first but this is the exception that makes the rule).  your only hope was to use all the boost to pass in front and hope that the other was not defending.

The silence speaks volumes from any of the devs

Their development is almost identical, I have 200 acc, handling, braking, downforce and basically level FE and TE. There were other managers with equally as good development and who were lighter and weren’t able to keep up either. 

The same 3 guys qualify 1st, 2nd & 3rd almost every race and seem to have a substantial gap between them and 4th most races. Just wasn’t sure if there is an obvious piece of knowledge I’m missing (I’ve seen discussions about the ‘perfect drivers height’etc), but wasn’t sure if there was something else that allows people to consistently out qualify everyone else. 

I know there are certain things that people will keep to themselves as it’s taken them a long time to work out and discover. But there must be some significant things I’m missing that may be more commonly known ??‍♂️
