I have noticed over the past few seasons that many drivers make mistakes after they come out from a pitstop, managers suggest this is down to cold tyres, heavy fuel, which is probably true.
So how about an option for the pit out lap and first full lap following each pitstop to trim the CT for those laps?
This will give managers an additional strategy option to run high to try to gain places but risk making a DM or lower to reduce this.
The CT options could be 0-100 as we have for CT or like in Quali a choice of 4 options?
Thoughts?

And why do you think the mistake after pit stop is coming from CT risk ?

Even if that was how it worked I would say no to that as it would be tantamount to being able to just have higher CT in general and lowering it to attempt not getting a DM after pits. Not saying that IS why it happens.

From what I have read in the forums and seen in chat, it has to do with much more than CT, and if you're coming back in traffic, heavy traffic...
Not sure if that's sharing too much, but anyway...

Exactly my point!! If I choose to run a high risk strategy and want to try to minimise my overall race time, then reducing risk for a few laps is an option, of course this leaves me open to others who want to push for those laps, result = opportunities arise, surely this is a good thing, no?

No. You missed my point it seems so no it was not exactly your point, it was my point I made in my post. What I was saying is that people would set higher CT than they do now and offset it a bit with the reduced CT for a few laps. So it would not be a "I want to push in this race and now I can do so better by lowering some lap risks" And, again, not saying CT is the culprit you are looking for anyway so the whole discussion is really moot.

thanks for your views chaps, I guess we will continue to have boring processional races and lots of DMs after pitstops

Surely the possibility of DMs after pitstops makes races less processional? =]

With fms you get more time loss on ranfom occasion. That will create fights that otherwise would be just trains without action. If lowering would pass those fights would be history. You can see a very good example in a team called mercedes. No driver mistakes and thus minimal fights which means mostly boredom. Ill just end this conversation with a big no.

If there were a way to minimize/nullify the risk of driver mistake just after a pit, and only for that one lap, I guess everybody (or most managers who were so extremely desperate to risk losing many seconds) would use it.
So in the end, it could make no, or very little, difference... and the effort to implement such a punctual change might end being not deserving at all.

Lucas nailed it. If you put it in there so you can avoid a DM, everyone is going to use it.
