Slow AI on Quali and super fast during Race

!00% race in a Red Bull. Level 87, Max as a teammate. At Austria. Auto ERS.

Qualifying Results, Within 2 tenths of Max (which is acceptable) But probably need to knock my level down by 2.

Race results Max only did 1 stop, while I did 2 (I did think of 1 stopping, but my engineer doesn't suggest alternative strategies)

My conclusion is that if you have it on the right level, the AI aren't faster in race than qualifying.

I'm not being patronising here, Just trying to help, but maybe some need to refind their AI level again on this year's game.

Last year I did all 26 tracks using this method And my average over all tracks was 91, this year my average over all 25 tracks is 85. That's like 6 tenths a lap difference. If you do use that method I suggest using Alonso (2nd best driver in the game) as your teammate. You can do all 25 tracks in a few days, but will make the game so much more enjoyable. Make sure you set the weather to clear.

If you don't have the time to do all tracks, here are the tracks that came out as 85 when doing this year's game. But everyone has their different strengths around different tracks.

Australia

China

Miami

Imola

Austria

Hungary

Monza

Abu Dhabi

I've never had the straight line speed problem that is being reported while doing these tests(OK, this is just GP mode) or in my driver career (but started in F2)
