AI performance in comparison with F1 2021?

I know it's been just a few days and we still need adjustments in our driving and get some practice, but for what I've seen so far, AI performance is way better than in F1 2021.

For reference, I played 2021 with AI 90 level and it wasn't difficult to compete against them, even at your first My Team season (when your car basically sucks).

Now, I play with AI 70 level and I would say their performance is similar.

F1 2021 : 85

F1 2022 : 69 ( 🤓 )

I play cockpit view without any assists and with all settings to most difficult.

I think its a good thing they have made it more difficult so the pro's still have a challenge.  

2021 95-100.  Currently 80. However  all I’m doing at the moment is starting a my team career and completing race at Bahrain then restarting  and playing with different my teams modes and engines. 

In F1 2019-2021 I was in the 90-97 range depending on the track and year. So far with F1 22 I’ve been qualifying and racing in the 73-78 range.

Gentlemen could anyone tell me the best way to adjust the AI? Do you change the difficulty from track to 
track or do you test on a certain track and adjust the difficulty keeping it fixed for all others? 
An example, Bharen I'm doing very well...85/87, but Spain I have to go down to  72/73. Of course, we have 
more facilities in some and difficulties in others. The question is what test do you do to leave a fixed 
AI for the whole season and the game remains fun. Hugs. Sorry for my English.

This is a very good tool my friend. But it is very good at calculating AI from lane to lane. To follow a fine-tuned AI for all lanes, with just a few slight corrections up or down, what method do you use? I remember a video in f1 2020 where we had to enter GP mode with a car from Racing Point, track in Spain, and test until we were very close to our teammate in qualifying. This is still valid, is it?

From my side I still have to learn which could be my 'right' AI this year. In F1 2021 I ran a full season with AI 107 being Perez (GP mode), in general I was slightly slower than Max, 3 wins and further 6 podiums in 17 races, not enough to fight for the championship.

In F1 22 I only played at Monza so far, which is probably not too much indicative and which is also one of the tracks where I'm stronger. Theoretically I should be able to fight for the pole at AI 110, but I'm sure it's not my level, besides I still have to train race pace and I heard (H) tyres are really hard to bring to temperature. While in F1 2021 (H) could be avoided, according to the simulated pit stop AI is doing in F1 22 (100% race distance), I think they are a must this year.

Cannot make a full comparison with F1 2021 in Monza, because CM changed a lot the track in a patch making it around 0.4 s. slower at a certain point. My data would suggest I may even increase AI a little bit, but once again Monza is a strange track where F1 22 cars are a bit faster than F1 2021, while I think every other track is slower.

Next step Bahrain, final tests, AI-decision and start of the Championship, to be continued 🙂

Thank you for sharing, this is absolutely nice tool, very useful to have an idea 😎 even if I still prefer my own calculations because I need two more points:

1) my best TT is different from my best Q lap, sometimes I'm 2-3 tenths slower, sometimes even 1 second. depending on the track, I should adjust the data with it;

2) race pace is also different, in F1 2021 I was typically a bit stronger in race, but not always and not necessarily (and most of all in a different way for each track once again), so I will also make AI run the first 5 laps of 100% a race, to register with telemetry tool and compare my pace with.

I lowered my AI this year. Last year I was around 85 on average, this year about 75 on average. Its a great game.  I think the game runs last years AI times but the players car is slowed due to the new regulations.
