Career Mode RPM dropping in 8th Gear

Product: F1 24
Platform:PlayStation 5
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
Summarize your bug Whenever the car is on a long straight, only in the race portion, around about 11300 rpms, the rpms start to fluctuate and sometimes are going down. The led indicator never gets out of the red and the car seems to lag. This has happened on every track that has a really long straight (China, Miami, Spain, etc.). It doesn't happen in practice or qualifiying.
What is your 16 digit Report Code?
What peripherals are you using? Please list the exact make and model. Fanatec DD+
Can you please provide the name of your current internet service provider? Cox
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Single Player
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Only in career mode races that I have noticed.
What happens when the bug occurs? RPMs slow or drop even with the accelerator fully depressed. I did check the settings on the pedal to ensure it was working but it works fine in practice or quali.
What do you expect to see? RPMS should continue to climb until the accelerator is lifted.

    @2c1d87b2ccb12978 Might be ERS reducing the power output you get above 300kph in addition with running too low ride height which would reduce your speed due to scraping on the track surface too hard.

    To test that run race fuel in practice for example, if its the same problem then you know its due to more weight pushing the car down.

    Try in the race hotlap mode and overtake mode for the ERS, if the same problem accurs then you know its not ERS related.

    Try running higher ride height, if it still happens they need to look into it.

    @Meza994 @2c1d87b2ccb12978 I have been having this problem across a variety of tracks in career and in time trial. It looks like it started under version 1.6. I have included a png file of part of a spreadsheet generated from Iko Rein's telemetry software. This is data from the last long straight at Miami. It shows the car at 100% throttle in 7th gear and suddenly the brakes come on slightly - while I am still at 100% throttle. The brake percentage increases to 5% as I shift up to 8th, and the brake percentage falls back under 5%. My speed is at 287kph where it stays despite still being at 100% throttle. I cross the DRS line and engage it - and now the speed slowly begins increase again. As I approach 292 kph the brake percentage jumps to 5% and the DRS disengages. The brake percentage now continues to increase reaching into the teens. Note the far right column says I am still in the DRS zone. The revs start to fall eventually get under 7800 while in 8th (not on the part of the spreadsheet in the png). The other track where I match up with you in having the same experience is China - in the last long straight - but I have also experienced this in the last straight that crosses the finish line. 

    Is what I described above similar to what you have been experiencing? 

    One other note - currently have been having difficulty with Spa - and have a couple of lap spreadsheets showing the same thing.
