Williams has the facilities as do most of the teams to do this.
Esport teams fly the players anyone who doesn't show up autoban from Esports!
Problem solved!
The next official eSports should definitely be over LAN but that in itself doesn't solve the wider problem for the much larger number of regular players who want to race online. The wider issue needs an improvement to how the game operates to prevent prevent cheating. On PC anyway.

I personally dont think anti cheats will work in the long run as they'll slow em down at the best.
I don't know enough about how this area to be confident but I think there are two aspects here. Firstly, if everyone knows that cheats are freely available and used then it has a negative effect in terms of more people likely seeing their use as acceptable. EA actively making this harder and importantly being seen to do so would help with this in my view. Secondly, I vaguely wonder if for the online modes the core game physics parameters (like those that determine grip) could all be loaded in from some network file into ram when a lobby is joined rather than relying on a locally stored file that can be modified?
