Problems in F1 2016 that MUST be fixed in F1 2017

As someone who loves the F1 games, there are some old and new problems in F1 2016 that really could have been patched in. However me and my friends have vowed not to purchase F1 2017 unless these issues are fixed:

1. AI's stupidity when it comes to changeable conditions: In a race I was in just a few minutes ago, 3 out of the 4 cars I was racing (like within 10 seconds of) went into the pits for dry tyres the same lap I switched from drys to intermediates. I passed them all the next lap and of course they pit that lap for inters, putting them like 30-40 seconds behind me. I like using strategy to gain time but this just ruins racing and looks stupid? This issue has also existed for as long as I've been playing F1 games (since F1 2011) and still exists.
2. AI's engine failures: Would it not take like 5 minutes for the Codemasters team to implement an option to turn this off? This feature has ruined battles in every race and every championship I've ever had on F1 2016. Always 3+ cars retiring and/or slowing down due to engine issues in each race. When in a top team in F1 2016 you have two options; battle for wins in the races and boringly win the championship easily by 60+ points (because every competitor breaks down AT LEAST 3 times per season), or turn the AI difficulty up and never battle to win races but still battle for the championship because all the AI will have multiple engine issues during the season. Seriously this is the biggest issue for me because I don't play F1 to win races by 30+ seconds or to win the championship without battling. Oh, and using flashbacks or turning damage completely off still doesn't stop the engine issues or full failures. 
3. Safety cars: Mostly because of the second issue, there is AT LEAST one safety car and one virtual safety car per race. This is wildly unrealistic, in real life there's maybe one of each every 4 or 5 races. This would be okay if the AI understood how safety cars work, but of course they don't. It ruins the battling when your rivals pit the lap the safety car pulls in and lose 25 seconds to the drivers in last place. Also, they never take advantage and pit the lap the safety car/virtual safety car comes out (unless they had already planned to pit that lap). Also that safety car glitch still exists that can get rid of the max speed you can travel under safety car conditions (not 100% sure how it's triggered but I think that it's when a car not on the lead lap passes the finish line or pits under a safety car). So in the end I always have the safety car off, as with the other issues, it just ruins the racing and emersion. 

There are other issues and such but these are definitely the main ones for me and my friends. Also, all of these are a lot easier to implement than some classic cars and would make us much happier than classic cars ever will. Like I said before, me and my friends (4 of us total, which isn't much, but still) promise we will not buy this game if these quite simple issues are not fixed. 

If anyone else has anything else to add or relates to these issues please feel free to share.

Edit:
I mid-session saved a race to write this above post because I was fed up at the time, but here's an update to what happened in the rest of the race:

• I forgot to mention before that the 4 cars I was battling was originally 5, but Raikkonen retired early in the race due to engine issues making it just 4.
• The 1 other driver I was racing, Rosberg, had an engine issue and was slow for about 10 laps.
  

So basically I was handed the race win.... again. More of a 'winning game' rather than a 'racing game'

Another issue I forgot to mention is that since the release of the game, I can never see Massa on the mini map (I have it set to show the whole track). This is a glitch that occurs in practice, qualifying and the race (and I think in every mode but I don't play modes other than career mode often so maybe not). It's always Massa and never any other driver.
