@Meta36I think the settings in your picture are legacy controls which are no longer functional in the game. Remember in F1 19 when we had more control over ERS modes (low, medium, high etc). Don’t think it’s designed to be used to switch between hotlap and off.

That is not correct in this specific context. In practice you can switch between None, Medium, and HOTLAP. In quali, you can switch between HOTLAP and None. However, for some reason, only in quali, the mapping to switch ERS modes between HOTLAP and None doesn’t work; you have to painstakingly go through the MFD menu. How it should work is recognizing the ERS increase/decrease mapping you have set up. I know it’s recognizing the rotary twist because the MFD comes up when I turn it-it just doesn’t change the mode. In race mode, you are correct, you cannot switch between low, medium, high, or None (like in 2019). It stays on medium and you just have Overtake.

I am pretty sure I took the screenshot in F1 22.
I do remember what you are talking about in F1 2019 where you could adjust the ERS mode in race but @CadaverGraye has the right idea here. You are able to use these buttons in practice mode to change between OFF, MEDIUM, HOTLAP, and OVERTAKE. In addition to that, I believe you can even use the same ERS increase/decrease buttons in race if there's a safety car.
The problem here is that only in Qualifying do these two buttons not work.

It is hard to tell if the ERS system is poorly designed but working, or if the ERS system is bugged in some modes. Honestly, ESR modes are a complete mess in this game and need a rework. It does not match real life rules and behaviors. And it is unintuitive and just generally not fun. Why block some ERS modes in different t game modes?
