It gives me a bad feeling which I hope turns out to be unjustified. I hope it is not a return to the days of the 'out of sight' bug (F1 2012? 2015? Can't remember which ones exactly), where the AI lap times were computed as soon as they were more than 5 seconds ahead or behind, and adjusted accordingly, usually very badly. We kept seeing some ridiculous catchup situations, which completely ruined many races.
I don't mind adaptive AI systems, but please don't let it be this.
Back in the older F1 titles, such as 2011 and 2012 I believe 🙂
Since 2015 we've been able to see replays from the AI's perspective, so the same type of simulating wouldn't work these days I reckon.
I believe F1 2011 also had a proper "catch up" feature for the lowest difficulties
