So I'm in my second season in Career having started with Force India and now in the Lotus. 4 races through I'm doing quite well having finished 3rd, 4th, 6th and 2nd. The one issue holding me back is tyre wear - I'm racing 50% distance and from the top 10 on the grid running a fairly predictable 1 stop strategy. But the option tyres are shredded by the time I'm due in and , more importantly, I'm struggling to hold off the cars behind me at the end of races - to the extent where Alonso and Hamilton etc will be lapping close to 1 sec a lap faster as my tyres are completely hammered (orange).
I realise staying off the curbs and not locking up is important but even in a smooth race I'm struggling to look after them.
Could really use some help here, any setup or other general advice to counteract this?
