Did you have a custom setup on your car?
FYI, AI drivers also use ERS 😉 I had similar problem in Imola, couldn't pass Stroll (DC for Williams). But eventually, he didn't seem to have ERS any more and I could pass him with DRS and half of ERS after three laps 😉
You can also reduce difficulty, then whole pack slows down. As someone already mentioned in previous patch topics, there is no shame in doing so, you're playing alone so it doesn't matter 😉

No i didn't have custom setup because i don't understand anything what comes to changing car setups so i just put my focus to driving as good as i can 😂😂 And last years game i played difficulty at 95 wich was perfect for me and this years game i have already dropped it to 90 and i really wouldn't want to drop it more... I know there is no shame to do it but if there isn't anything else to do then i might have to drop it more 🙂

Do you use any predefined setups or you leave the game select it for you?
Because it could be the reason why you might be slower than AI cars. Selected setup may not suit well to your driving style 😉 You also don't know what kind of upgrades AI cars have so it's hard to say if you're losing due to AI cars cheating or not 😉 (I also suspect their ERS is 50% bigger than mine 😉 )
I also heard some people drive faster with TV pod view (I always use cockpit with halo setup).
I am using difficulty around 80 but tbh, I had to change it to 50ish when I started F1 22. Car just felt different and I had to adjust my driving style (I was "Ricciardo" in most of my first attempts 😉 ).
If you want to start with custom setups, there are UT videos or sites like f1laps or f1gamesetup where you can check various configuration for F1 cars. Maybe you find some that would suit better to style you drive 😉
