After all rendering 700+ cars in a pit stop would take some time. 

No it wouldn't, it would take setting variables for the pit crew animations and having the animation play  based on the variables the used car provides. It would literally take one coder a day to take an animation set and adjust the keying to fit any vehicle size/type/wheelbase/height, etc, so maybe/hopefully they add it in, in a future update / free DLC, I doubt they would dare make it a paid DLC as others are joking about.

The real issue here is that they actually bothered to put the pit crew in for the trailer, then slapped an "all in-game footage" tag on the video, but the final game shipped with not only much less dramatic pit stops, but nobody in the pit areas at all.

Seems obvious to me that FM7 has taken a huge hit in the graphics/polish department to accomodate 4k/60 on one of the target platforms, previous games focusing on existing platforms did look notably better and more polished, so the only real explanation is that the push for 4k/60 to use as a selling point for the new hardware was done at cost.

You make it sound so easy, if that was the case than Turn 10 would have done it. And considering that Turn 10 is amazing at listening to the gamers, i am confident they will include it in there next game. Do i care if there's a Pit Crew in FM8? No. Would it add to the presentation? Yes.

Also remember FM7 has Trucks and a bunch of other vehicles so its not as simple as your suggesting. It would have been good if they had animated a pit crew but honestly who really cares? Are you playing a racing game or love watching men working on cars? 

Like i mention before, i would rather have the content like Dymanic weather, Day/Night, Puddles, 700+ vehicles, over 30+ tracks and Career/Campaign mode over a... pit crew you wont even see in many races.

I also find it funny that what FM7 brings to the table in the car racing genre, we sink to these baby jabs at a game by trying to attack what is an unriviled Car Racing game in 2017 on Content and thats what FM7 is essentially focusing on one of the most important aspects when it comes to Car racers.. The Content.
