McLaren are OP

Product: F1 22
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug McLaren. McLaren. McLaren. They are RIDICULOUSLY overpowered. I’ve had the game since launch and until a while ago it was fine. But after one of the patches they’ve become ridiculously OP. They recovered to where they are in real life by themselves WITHOUT the patch that changed them. Since that patch, it has made especially Norris unbeatable. Now, I like Lando and he’s a good driver. But he shouldn’t be beating Verstappen, Leclerc, Russell or Hamilton with an equal car over a season (according to the performance chart) and definitely not when he’s got a slower car. I simulated 2 and 1/4 seasons of a new My Team playthrough. By mid season 2 Norris (and Alonso who replaced a retired Riccardo) had shot up to 1st and won the WCC. That is entirely unrealistic. And Alonso nearly won the WDC despite having a weaker car against Max. When Max should’ve won decisively. I don’t mind the game making teams rise and fall in the order. But the rate at which McLaren blitzed to the top and dominates every race is demoralising and boring me as a player. By early Season 3. Norris (and now Ocon) have a 80 point lead in the Constructors by Spain and Norris has a 46 point lead over Ocon in 2nd. By Spain!? 6 rounds in and Lando has pretty much already won. I tried again in driver career from Italy after the real season to see if it’s work there. What did I find? Norris and Riccardo getting a 1,3 finish in both Monza and Singapore. That is ridiculous. Even more so than it in My Team. As it’s supposed to be more tied to the real season (in season 1). As there was no way Lando would of ever won in Monza last week and even more no way Daniel would’ve finished 3rd with all cars finishing the race.
What is your 16 digit Report Code? KEEH-STHH-SSPG-DTKA
Which area is the bug/glitch in? My Team
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Did you have cross-play enabled? No
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just playing the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? McLaren drivers are completely overpowered and unbeatable to such a ridiculous degree to where they should be according to where they should be.
What do you expect to see? Serious “nerfing” or “de powering” of the McLaren car. And maybe even stat reductions of Lando and Daniel. Or just reversing/undoing of whatever was done in that subsequent patch that affected them.

I said it all in my summary. McLaren are unnaturally overpowered. I don’t mind the grid changing between seasons. But McLaren are way too powerful. 

they were perfectly fine before the patch.
