@zombie182 In my case this isn't much of a CPU issue, in my case it is using less than 20% CPU while in menu and around 25-30% while racing. (This detail is probably just hardware setup specific and dependent on CPU model)
But the underlying issue itself must be related to the way they are presenting the menus and layering/rendering 3D objects/environments in the background when not called for, as there's reason to believe that i.e the lounge/lobby from the F1 World sub menu is being rendered underneath when in other parts of the menu.
Similar to the behaviour of F1 22, where the main menu was layered and the 3D scene with the sofas and cars where rendered at all times, and opaque menus just placed on top of it.

This is still an issue as of patch 1.6.1006145/Steam build 11550771.
Not sure if it is related but I see a strange frame rate drop in the menus. When I first start the game the menu is a smooth 60FPS. Once I enter a race or dig into a feature the menu drops to like 30FPS and is noticeably sluggish and remains that the way the rest of game session.
- @Hansenhaus I do not believe that this is related. This bug report is regarding the high GPU utilization in the menus.
If you have an Nvidia GPU you might want to check if you have Nvidia Reflex set to "On+Boost", if that's the case, set it to either "Off" or "On" as the option "On+Boost" seems to be bugged at the moment.- @dotazured Thanks for the tip. I disabled reflex and it worked! Menus have a consistent frame rate throughout the session now.
