Bring back ability to adjust difficulty once session has been loaded

2 years without that handy little loading screen menu has been a massive pain. Having to exit the game, switch off cloud saves, swap save files and reload. It's been agony, completely screws up what is otherwise a really enjoyable game.

And so again with F1 23, I've started a career mode and again, seemingly equal with my teammate Albon in practice, I then somehow outqualify him by 2 whole seconds, he's 14th, I'm 9th (full qualifying btw). And then, I'm distracted by something called "real life", come back to the game later and forget to change the difficulty, so I'm stuck. Have to start the race and pray, but I'm then in 5th keeping up with the frontrunners without breaking a sweat.

So I've got to bin the career because if I carry on like that, the team will assume I can do that every race, and when I don't once I've adjusted the difficulty, they're upset as to how I'm suddenly not performing so well (it's happened before).

So I'm begging Codemasters, PLEASE bring back the ability to adjust difficulty once you've already entered a session.

@veyron_fan1 Can I ask if you use a wheel or controller? Because I find Jeddah really hard, but I also think I really suck at Jeddah, I find it almost harder to drive than Monaco. Specially in this years game where you need to be so precise with your input around that track.

But I have no problem with Bahrain AI where everyone say they are so hard, but it seems so perfectly suited for the controller for some reason even though I suck on the exit of the first hairpin. I also play at 100 AI, so I still think certain tracks just suits certain people more too.

I just struggle to keep up with the fast direction changes in Jeddah and the fact you have almost no room for error or your front wing is in the wall.
At least at Monaco you generally go at a much slower pace except in that fast chicane in the beginning of the 3rd sector where I always also struggle and the fast left right in sector 1.
