@EA_Vendcera Here is a Report Code from a quali/race session at Bahrain today: TAAG-TJJS-XTAK-VSEC
The dev team should be able to see the lap times: Both quali and race top lap times are sitting in the 1:33.6 range in BOTH quali and the race. During the race however, the fuel loads should be MUCH higher than quali, and the AI should be seeing their pace slow down, same as the player. So, while the player is slowing down from the fuel load in the race, the AI isn't. Furthering my suspicion regarding fuel loads, the issue doesn't seem to be as noticeable in F2, where fuel load is fixed.
EDIT: Here's another Report Code from a session at Jeddah with a totally different outcome as before: STCE-KHAA-JEER-EXCD
This one had top quali times around 1:34.2 and the race was in the 1:36.5 range. So, this one appeared to see pace drop as expected. Is this a track-by-track issue?
EDIT 2: Here's a 3rd Report Code from Australia: RXBP-XMRT-GAET-ABAD
Top quali time was a 1:21.1 on softs, top race time was a 1:22.3ish on mediums. So, pace appears maaaaaaybe similar here as well between quali and race when factoring in the tire compound difference and use of DRS/ERS.
The main problem is that overtake mode should not be available in quali, instead hot lap mode should deploy the whole battery evenly over the lap. This issue has been noted since Beta #1 and it's frankly ridiculous that nothing has been done to fix it!
To read now that AI does not use overtake mode whatsoever, it makes perfect sense as to why the AI is so relatively weak in Q yet strong in the race. The only solution at present is to stick to hot lap mode only during qualifying against AI, which should at least make the whole thing a bit more realistic.

I'm finding in grand prix mode it is the opposite. Qualifying is harder than the race. It is easy to come through to front in the race. Partly due to the silly ers drs trains but also the ai pace is nothing special. Bizarre reading people having complete opposite experience. Haven't tried career though
- IanM2822 years agoSeasoned Ace@bigsimmah Agreed, the overtake deployment should not have been added to this year's game in qualifying.
Such a bizarre thing to do that is now causing a lot of problems.
