Since the 2021 version, I've noted that in the 2 last laps of a race, AI are to fast.
For example yestarday , Norris and Schumacher were 3 sec behind me since the middle of the race.
And in the 2 last laps, they closed sudenly the gap by doing 1 sec quicker laps .
It is very anoying and not realistic at all, it is like the AI in a bad arcade game.
Is someone else has noted this ???

@ajobling1983I hope EA/Codemaster didn't forget to disable engine rich mix for AI ... but knowing them they are capable of it 🤣
Lol, exactly! Wouldn’t surprise me with all the game code copied from previous editions…
I thought the same, So decided to watch the winner Max in a 25% race and for 7 laps after his pit stop he saved his battery for the last lap and a half and boy did he use it. set the fastest lap on 11 lap old mediums. Whereas me as Lando on the same strategy set my fastest on lap 3 with my softs on. And Max never seemed to lose any of his 4/5 second lead while he was saving his ERS
This is a big problem since years. And the most annoying is the AI difficulty changes on each track.
I raced at Silverstone last night on F1 2019. Up until the last lap or two I had a good gap over the ai behind, then they were right up behind me racing to the finish line. I think it happened at Monza as well when I raced there a few nights ago. So this “issue” has obviously been around a while.

Yes it has. It was well known that in F1 2019 the AI would turn their engine onto rich mix for the first two and final two laps. They probably save their battery and dump it all in the final laps also.
