    Thanks @ScarDuck14 @SteveJackson  for trying to help, much appreciated.

    It was a corrupt save - when I deleted the save, the game worked absolutely fine (even with rest mode re-activated). So I'm back playing which is good news!

    The save corrupted when I was in F1 World, went back to the PS5 control centre and accidentally pressed 'Resume Activity' on F123 homepage. The 'resumed activity' was Career Mode, and when it loaded my career it crashed and (I think) corrupted the save. 

    Should I re-report?

    Unsure. Once there is a corrupt save, it’s a corrupt save.

    Sometimes the devs will ask for you to upload the save so they can see how the corruption has manifested.

    If you can quickly replicate with the action you thought caused it, repost here, tag someone and you may be asked for the save and the session codes.

@rob88hendersonGo through PS5 settings menus and disable anything to do with rest mode and device link. Then when you shut down PS5 never put it in rest mode. When PS5 launched. Rest mode had serious issues. Sony have since fixed the very worst problems. But people are still encountering game crashes on some game when they have had console in rest mode: Games it seems to crash most are ones that you can use 120fps. So F1 games being one of them.

Once disabled rest mode settings. Turn off PS5 and unplug. Leave it for abit then Start PS5 in safe mode and play rebuild database.

I’ve played over 250 hours on this years game on PS5 without a single freeze or crash

Sorry just see you’ve already disabled rest mode.  Just be sure all the settings for rest mode are disabled.  Power setting.., never put in rest mode and features that are enabled if in rest mode
