I have played the game for around 10 hours now and I find the AI to overpowered on the straight and on the exit of the corner because of how good the AI is with the ERS. The AI is just so much faster on the straight because they seem to have unlimited ERS every lap it’s just to overpowered. I’ve seen more people complain about it. Please fix this problem.
I ended a race in Spain after five laps just to watch the onboard replay of the lead two cars ahead of me (Verstappen and Norris). In both instances their ERS never dropped below 85% and were both pulling out a second and a half a lap on me despite me having the best car on the grid overall in every category but durability in MyTeam. This included Verstappen maxing out the rev limiter in the lead car without ERS/DRS deployment. As of this moment, without a patch, they do literally have unlimited ERS.

Agreed 100%. I've been saying Spain is a perfect example of this ridiculous unrealistic AI straight line speed.
It's so unrealistic and saps the life and enjoyment out of racing.
Doesn't happen in F123 whatsoever. But to me this is just like F122 again. F122 AI straight line speed was beyond ridiculous at times. F123 was absolutely brilliant and never an issue.
I can pull away from the AI at Spain by the first few laps only for them to reel me back in again on the start finish straight.
Way overpowered and I'm maxed out with ERS. They don't even have DRS and reel me back in by almost one second by the time I'm at turn one.
Desperately needs adjusting!
I’m hoping Monday’s v1.5 patch addresses this since it mentions adjusting ERS, but it references building gaps and encouraging overtaking, so, I’m not holding my breath.

@NielsStar1810Can we add to this that DRS is far more powerful than ERS. Which is completely back Ars*wards. There is no way a 25mm flap opening up gives more go power than adding 250hp from the hybrid system.
While there are things off with this game DRS is not one of them.. Its supposed to gain teams around 20kph topspeed depending on the wings and tracks and the game is close to that. Also iirc the size is 85mm for the flap which reduces the drag considerably with how wide and loaded it is..
Next thing is ERS is only allowed to give 160bhp maximum, so thats only what will be deployed with overtake mode and only gaining you that much near topspeed while using overtake mode, especially medium (normal race mode IRL) drop out around 300kph depending on how they set it up suiting the track.
So all in all, yes DRS is and should be more powerful above 300kph in regards of gaining top speed as thats far more about drag than pure power
Same!
