The AI being morons during practice/quali isn't a new thing, that was present in 2021 and has been dragged over to 2022 when they copy/pasted. It's infuriating when you're starting a flying lap in quali and there's a pileup of AI because they all go at 40mph and won't overtake each other. I have complained about this since launch of 2021!! Wondering if it'll ever be fixed...

@Otterfox4209 took to calling that behaviour "Overly polite AI" towards the end of F1 2021 (because they're all too polite to overtake each other). It's now become common language in our F1 gaming and you'll frequently hear sentences like "Watch out for overly polite AI at turn 6" or "I aborted my lap during to overly polite AI".

Just for grins, I bring you two examples of Overly Polite AI in all their glory:
OPA level 1:
After posting this video, I realized this is actually happening on the AI's in laps, not their out laps. They finish their hot laps and come to a dead stop. Even if you don't see it happen, you usually know it did because most of the time it's followed by an onslaught of "Pierre Gasly is out of the session" "Carlos Sainz is out of the session" "George Russell is out of the session" and so forth.
OPA level Carnage:

Having been spun off the track by the AI, yet again, on the last lap of the 50% French GP last night (1.07 patch), I decided to put together a quick video showing some of the antics the AI gets up.
Honestly, it's almost like most of the time they don't even know there's another car near them and just take whatever line they want to:

I honestly can't understand why this is still an issue, it's ridiculous. I submitted so many examples during 2021 on the cm forums and yet absolutely nothing has changed. It's like you say, they just stop dead as soon as they finish their flying lap, which quite often ruins the players lap. I actually wait now until some are on their in lap before I leave the pits. Gives me less quali time but avoids incidents
