Super Fast AI Final Lap
Every race AI's final lap feels too fast. I find they had deployed ERS overtake mode almost every acceleration time even Miami Turn 11-12 and 12-13. They seem to pour out all their remaining energy...

@Apophis-STRI think I said and if I didn’t. I said a form off rubber-banding…. Not rubber-banding in the sense off how we know it to be.
I never set ai on push lap. I always set it on a teammates (90+ pace) lap times during fp1 on mediums. I’ve said this hundreds off times. Last year if button( 2nd driver boost) or Norris were my teammate I’d set the difficulty +/-10 for ever +/- second.
I’d always qualify within half second infront or behind teammate and would always finish 50% race within a few seconds off eachother. Providing races didn’t have us getting caught up.
Before I got a decent teammate last seasons I would compare my times to gasly fp1 times on mediums. I’m no speed demon. I lap within 3tenths lap after lap… impossible to do if always pushing
This isn’t my first time.
your obviously better than us average joes.. can I suggest you look at it from out limited skills
AI final laps we know are fast (as they have always been in the past games), EA staff also explained why (use of ERS etc.).
Just completed today a 100% race in Bahrain, 5 laps to go I was catching Russell lapping 1:32.1 gaining a couple of tenths per lap (with Verstappen the fastest in 1:32.0).
My last but one was the best in 1:31.9 without much ERS to use.
In the last two laps AI were flying, Russell 1:31.7 with H at their 32nd lap, Verstappen 1:31.1 with H at their 41st lap (!), while I was with M at 25th lap.
We know the player needs to be ahead at 3 laps to go, possibly a couple of seconds at least and defend the position. Yeah, I agree it probably doesn't make much sense.

In the last lap of the race, the AI drivers always improve their lap time by 0.5 - 0.9 seconds!
@Grizzled63Yes for some bizarre reason they save all their ERS for the final lap in a attempt to make us humans angry when they catch us and ram into us😀
It’s stupid and we hate it… although last year it was worse.
