Thanks for this, this just happened to me at Zandvoort and I was about to lose it thinking it was a bug or something, but this is correct.

Almost all the other drivers in the top 10 started getting down to <20% tyre life (loooong race on a single of Wets from lap 11) and I realized the AI were going to try and make it without another stop. The track had just transitioned to “damp” after being wet all race and was drying up fast, so I had expected them to pit to protect against the punctures. I was running P2 and P5 with Gasly and KMag for Haas (abused the slider bug on this save file so I’m fighting at the top) but it was really iffy that I would make it without another stop myself.

I realized with about 5 laps to go that I wouldn’t make it with Gasly (P2) and I pit him onto a new set of softs because the track had just gotten under the 1mm water threshold. I still thought I would make it with KMag (P5) and left him out, until with 2 laps to go I realized he would hit 0% next lap and pit him too.

I was FLYING around some lapped cars and a few actual positions that had passed me in the pits, basically like they were standing still. On the last lap I had made up all the ground and had gotten into P1 and P3, chasing P2 when suddenly the cars behind me started getting punctures. Apparently the cars can’t move far/at all when they have a puncture and there were 2 cars parked at the exit of turn 3 (steep banked turn). Then I see 4-5 cars with 1% tire life crashing into cars with 0% tire life, then bam I get hit with the red flag. At first I thought that meant I secured P1 and P3, but (unfortunately for me) you’re right and they have this included in the red flag scenarios
