AI getting a buff after a couple of seasons, though season 2 seemed to be normal but didnt see tests for F1 22 yet
Career mode is always harder due to stat bonuses, by season 2 its likely that all teams have +2 personnel department which is +7 pace for all drivers or rather all drivers around 0.25s faster than GP mode ONLY through the stat boost.
There might be more though
@Meza994I assume you mean MyTeam, not Career Mode - Career Mode doesn't have department personnel updates that affect the drivers directly, only Aero/Engine/Chassis/Relibability component updates.
This is probably the crux of the whole issue, there is no consistency between modes - I always do a normal GP for a few laps at my next Career Mode track to set the AI level and get my eye in for the track, and it seems fine, I am able to overtake cars and make up places.
But then, Career Mode comes and I am unable to pass anyone even if I have DRS and ERS, I barely gain on my own teammate by the end of the straight despite running lower wings than the AI setup.
But someone who only plays a game mode where this issue isn't prevalent tells people to get good and stop complaining because they don't understand it.
