OP Verstappen
I don't know if this is ever going to be looked at, but it should be, to be honest. First of all, about the AI, I only tested them in Melbourne earlier today, and it feels like the AI has certainly ...

Look, I'm not trying to earn myself a "reputation", but I remember when the game was new and I first played My Team, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were the two big championship contenders in Season 1, and Verstappen got a few podiums here and there, but was never consistent, which is likely to happen in real life if you're not careful.
I mean, sure, I'm only through one race in Season 1, and Red Bull have the best car so far, but before version 1.11, Verstappen never had this inhuman pace like now. I know that because I have been playing 3 seasons in my previous My Team Career (I started a new one BTW), and the only time Verstappen was a lot more faster was in Season 3, after a move to Mercedes, yet still he couldn't get to the top because me and Lewis dominated the season so far, and sometimes there was a driver in his path he couldn't pass because the cars were almost equal in performance.
I'll keep an eye on it upon reaching Season 2 like you said @TotosHeadphones, but at the slightest sight of Verstappen dominance, I will create a follow-up reply. And as of right now, I'll just roll with it and admit defeat if Verstappen actually takes the championship.
To at least say something reasonable, I understand Verstappen being so quick in GP Mode, as playing the championship in said mode is supposed to be a replica of the real season, which is why I understand this design choice, to be honest. This was also the case in F1 2021, in which nearly every GP Mode race was dominated by Hamilton and Verstappen to somewhat replicate the real 2021 championship.
I get what you say though, so I'm going to stop posting here until I get to Season 2, so I can actually tell if Verstappen dominates everything or not.
I definitely think that is the most reasonable thing to do @LuckyNico92
It's understandable that in a game you'd want a variation when it comes to winners. When the game follows stats and car performance, it's always likely that in the first season, Verstappen, who is highest rated and the Red Bull, best rated car, are going to dominate. And regardless of how you, I or anybody feels about it, that's what it's like in real life too. So that's how the game is going to run and I would think it's not specifically scripted.
I think you definitely won't see the dominance in later game/seasons due to the randomness of regulation changes and driver moves. I've seen plenty of My Team seasons with different drivers involved in the championship fight, you just have to slog through it past the first season. Try your best @LuckyNico92
