Aggressive AI and their lack of awareness
The AI aggression can really spoil your race and is very frustrating. Perhaps it is more that their awareness of the player car is absent. They force themselves into positions that will often result ...

@Bauersome AI seems like a big improvement to me, is more aggresive, you can't overtake them so easily this year, they do make mistakes when you put pressure on them. Regarding some AI crash into you (which many are completely understandable if you look at the replay), they crash into each other in real life too, so what's the problem with some random crash? Do you want to be the only one on track able to crash the AI? For me the AI is a real improvement this year.
@HempyjrExactly, and had to wholeheartedly disagree with OP.
I've mentioned on a lot of threads, where if you try to race the AI like how you race humans - keep your awareness up, be cautious and respect the spaces, then you'll have a much better experience than just about ANY racing game on the market in this generation.
I genuinely have never had a bigger blast racing with AI in my 20+ years of gaming, and I'm not being sarcastic.
- @Apophis-STR Same, ai straight line speed issue apart racing closely with them is fantastic
One constant issue i find is when the ai has the inside line into the corner. Every single time they slowly dive through the corner, giving no space and pushing the player outside of track limits.
I learned that ai is tought to match player movement and this explains a lot.
Example in turn 1 at imola: once, while on the outside line, i used my regular braking point, where i would turn for the apex. Ai did the same, as they should as they had the inside line. But as i was on the outside, i accelerated slightly to get around the ai to get to the outside line where i belong. Ai responded by matching my acceleration just as the ai was to turn in. This caused the ai to drive all the way to the outside white line, pushing me completely out of the track. This does not even make any sense, as in addition to braking the rules of leaving space for the car aside, the ai then completely ruined their turn 2.
This was in addition to weaving on the straight, and doing late blocking moves. Even worse and later than Grosjean in Silverstone 2020, when he was penalized.
I do like an aggressive ai, and sometimes the ai can be raced properly, but more often the ai seems as broken as the fighting between Verstappen and Hamilton at the end of last season.
It’s kinda wild to see people saying the ai is good this year. They constantly divebomb like theyre trying to take you out. if you see it coming you can avoid them and theyll literally total themselves trying to pass you. Ive also had a few cars get blue flagged and stop on the apex of corners trying to let me pass while im right behind them. Not to mention the fact that you can be ahead of them on the apex of a corner and have them force you off the inside. Its honestly pretty egregious and makes coop online careers nearly impossible to do without being wrecked out each race.
