F1 2011 How come!

F1 2011 The Game (Codemasters)
track grip levels are way down during practice. I tried doing high fuel runs in practice and that was getting me nowhere. My lap times would be as much as 8 seconds different from high to low fuel. But in the actual race if I start on options and high fuel I'm only about 2-3 seconds off of my qualifying pace until fuel burns off.

Were you doing a short weekend or long weekend? because in every practice session of a long weekend the track rubbers in a little more and gets a bit grippier, but in short weekend there's only one practice
 
I tend to find P1 and P2 fairly useless. They'll get you some basics setup stuff like gear ratios and approximate aero settings and it'll get you back into driving the track, but the lack of mechanical grip means a large chunk of the setup you can do is pointless.

How much % race distance do you drive? If this is 50%, you get fuel only for 50% of laps, not 100%. So you're faster thatn with 100% fuel. My pace with fuel (100% race) is 6-7 secs slower than Q (same setup).
