Screen freezes freeze car in place during the freeze
Product: F1 23
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
Summarize your bug Screen freezes occur which cause the car to momentarily freeze in place before resuming, such that it seems as if the car's properties are retained from before the screen freeze to be carried over after, though the state in between makes it seem as if the car is completely stationary.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? This has only occured in large lobbies (20 players in this situation) both in qualifying and the race. In my situation, the screen freezes in qualifying were fairly random, in the race I had three large ones: the first when the lights went out, the second when an incident happened directly in front of me, and the third when I crossed the start/finish line at the end of the race. Some of the freezes seem to coincide with someone leaving the lobby, though this is not the case for others so could be pure coincidence, though I mention this anyway in case it may be part of the cause.
What happens when the bug occurs? The screen will freeze, though unlike a typical screen freeze, the car's movement will stop but retain its previous state once the freeze finishes, causing time loss from when the freeze happens and finishes. The game will not pause as if you tab out, it will just freeze and once finished you have immediate control as if nothing happened.
What do you expect to see? The screen to freeze and the audio to remain constant at the point when the freeze happens.
Attached is a video of the instances of the screen freezes, 0 to 1:38 and 2:13 onwards are the relevant occurances. A whole lap is shown to show how the screen freezes effect the delta, although no screen freezes happen in the first sector, two large ones occur in the second which cause a large drop in the delta once the sector 2/3 line is passed.
