AI are way too fast on the straights
So we’re back to the old problem of the AI not being affected by drag or aero or having unlimited ERS, or a combination of all three.

I have played the game for around 10 hours now and I find the AI to overpowered on the straight and on the exit of the corner because of how good the AI is with the ERS. The AI is just so much faster on the straight because they seem to have unlimited ERS every lap it’s just to overpowered. I’ve seen more people complain about it. Please fix this problem.
I ended a race in Spain after five laps just to watch the onboard replay of the lead two cars ahead of me (Verstappen and Norris). In both instances their ERS never dropped below 85% and were both pulling out a second and a half a lap on me despite me having the best car on the grid overall in every category but durability in MyTeam. This included Verstappen maxing out the rev limiter in the lead car without ERS/DRS deployment. As of this moment, without a patch, they do literally have unlimited ERS.

Agreed 100%. I've been saying Spain is a perfect example of this ridiculous unrealistic AI straight line speed.
It's so unrealistic and saps the life and enjoyment out of racing.
Doesn't happen in F123 whatsoever. But to me this is just like F122 again. F122 AI straight line speed was beyond ridiculous at times. F123 was absolutely brilliant and never an issue.
I can pull away from the AI at Spain by the first few laps only for them to reel me back in again on the start finish straight.
Way overpowered and I'm maxed out with ERS. They don't even have DRS and reel me back in by almost one second by the time I'm at turn one.
Desperately needs adjusting!
I’m hoping Monday’s v1.5 patch addresses this since it mentions adjusting ERS, but it references building gaps and encouraging overtaking, so, I’m not holding my breath.
