The cars in career are slower than time trial, also because of worse track conditions in many situations, varying tire temperatures and tire wear. It's intended to be slower, and should be. up until the cars in career mode are developed enough to be faster
You can change the difficulty between those sessions, and you also could in F1 21 and 22. In the Weekend monitor, press the settings button (displayed bottom right corner) and change the difficulty along any other setting. What you can't do since F1 21, is changing the difficulty in loading screen. And that's what I'm missing, too
@allemands311 Yes, Qualification program is far off. With a correctly set difficulty it's not possible to beat the program on a lot of tracks. This year it seems even worse
