AI names in F1 World (NOT people from my friends list anymore - why?)

Product: F1 23
Platform:Steam-PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
Summarize your bug The AI names in F1 World used to be people on my friends list (Steam), but now they show generic crazy random names - why? (it was more fun showing my friends names, of course)
What is your 16 digit Report Code? VVHE-SSGG-DPJP-XEXE
Can you please provide the name of your current internet service provider? Claro NET
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Single Player
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just play any F1 World event against the AIs
What happens when the bug occurs? AI names are different than they used to be..
What do you expect to see? Crazy, random, silly AI names instead of my friends list names..

‌

Not that big of a deal, but I just wanted to know if the same happened to everyone and if so why they changed it..

The AI names on the F1 World event used to be people from my Steam's Friends List - even if some of them didn't even had the game - and I thought that was fun, because in a silly way, it felt a bit like playing against my friend.

Now - I believe after the latest patch (v 1.16) - the AI names changed to crazy, silly, random driver names - and I didn't like that - it was more fun with my own friends names, of course..

    Yep, it was more fun before and it's a shame they changed it for whatever reason and didn't even bother to let us know or tell us why (not exactly a surprise, but still a shame)..

    And now that F1 24 was just released, we can completely forget ANY chances of getting ANYthing in F1 23 improved or fixed..

    (not to mention F1 24's handling is pure crap at the moment, for what I've heard - it seems the handling was made to please people playing it on a pad and it's terrible for people playing it on a wheel - my case - so.. that's probably a game I will have to skip for the first time since F1 2019..)

    I  agree with everything you say... the could do better every year but the result is almost the same. I have already preordered F1 24, never skipped one since F1 2015, I heard too about the crappy handling with the wheel but someone says that traction is better with wheels instead of joypad. By the way, I could tell what I feel when the game comes out and I hope for a day one patch. Let's see! We have to keep in mind the the F1 series games are NO sim, maybe "simcade" but I'm not that sure...
