If you have vsync turned on and your fps rate goes below 144 fps, then your fps will drop to 72 accordingly. That's what vsync is supposed to do. Me personally, I have a 240 Hz monitor and vsync turned off, but I've also enabled a custom framerate limit of 120 fps. You might want to turn off vsync as well and use a custom framerate limit of 144 fps for example and see if the game runs more to your liking then.
@EyTschej This isn't necessarily true, what you describe is adaptive V-sync or half-rate V-sync.
This is not the default behaviour for V-sync.
V-sync is only doing frame synchronization to reduce or remove frame tearing (displaying frames of different age while during the time it takes to display a frame), when falling below the threshold, it will disengage and you would get stutter and tearing as it is no longer possible to sync the frames to the monitor, but it will not actively drop the framerate.
See image below for the V-sync behaviour in the settings in F1 23:
