AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights

@nkzsry9q2v3nI haven't start digging into the files yet, but if F1 22 follow the same trend as 2020 & 2021, the engine which the real teams uses are actually different from the MyTeam ones (at least during their vanilla form), they all became identical when maxed out.

Back in the older games, the MyTeam PU (no matter which brand) actually starts with the exact same stat values as the best engine (which in those cases were Mercedes). The only thing that differentiates the MyTeam & Merc engine were the manufacturer upgrades, unless you picked the Merc, or else you'll have less parts pre-installed in your first season.

The other existed team's PU has their own unique stats and are actually weaker than the player's engine when no part is applied, it was their own manufacturer parts that helps them regaining the advantages. If you look at the performance comparison, you'll actually notice how if you pick Honda/Renault/Ferrari, your PU always starts out stronger than the AI (whose supposedly using the same PU as you) even if you didn't pick any engine related answers from the first interview.

Here's the thing, I'm not sure how much exactly the manufacturer parts alter the characteristic of their PU, it could be that they only gently improve the overall power/torque which made them a lot more forgiving because they already started out as less-torquey than the MyTeam's PU.

We still need more investigating.
