Host Advantage - Multiplayer races

Product: F1 24
Platform:Xbox Series X
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox Series X
Summarize your bug Host advantage on race starts/lights out is ridiculous and wasn't an issue on F1 23
What is your 16 digit Report Code?
What peripherals are you using? Please list the exact make and model.
Can you please provide the name of your current internet service provider? BT
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Multiplayer
Did you have cross-play enabled? Yes
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start any multiplayer lobby with any quali length + 50% race.
What happens when the bug occurs? Host gets an almighty advantage on race start
What do you expect to see? Similar to F1 23 where it wasn't noticeable that host had an advantage

‌

Clip showing the advantage I get on lights out. Note - I purposely wait to see when everyone starts to go but its a good 1-2 second advantage which in league racing isn't acceptable, there shouldn't be any advantage or very minimal (0.01-0.05)

This wasn't an issue on F1 23

The team is struggling to reproduce this issue internally. Any further examples or info you think might be related would be helpful. Thanks!

The league I'm in start our season at the end of the month.
We were doing practice lobbies just for our league members. 5 out of the 12 races we did this happened. The host would launch off the start and everyone else would be completely bogged down. On his end he said he was confused as everyone was still stopped as the lights went out.
This really needs to be fixed asap.

@EA_VendceraHere are two more examples from our league race yesterday. First clip is in our Tier 2 division. Lobby host gets the jump.
Second clip is in our Tier 1 division, same thing lobby takes off while everyone else is still waiting for the lights to go. On his POV he had all 3 red lights go out already.

@tjmartin-92 I can bump it again with the team, but from their previous investigations, they weren't able to reproduce it. If you could provide any further examples or details, I can pass that along again.

But we also haven't received many other reports about it either, so these might be more isolated issues.
