Yes, something to consider for Season 9. But my point is that some of you have not been relying on the engineer. You figured on a certain lap to pit for X Fuel and X Tyres. But, since you had a crash, HP gets knocked to near zero and you end up losing the fuel and tyre orders because the of the engineer.
All I'm trying to say is this...
If your car needs repair, and you have orders for the same lap to pit, then the engineer will repair to 100%, but still follow the fuel and tyre orders as established by the manager.
