Oh boy, here we go again 🤣
Tho I've just finished Ímola feature race under mixed condition and felt something similar: First 40ish laps with Soft-Inters were just fine but I lost lots os pace towards the final laps. Tyres were still ok but I was overfueled by +4 laps, 'cause race practice program was made under dry conditions.
So it goes into that grey area where one can argue both ways: the game "playing" against me or the extra weight from the fuel.
Next race is under mixed conditions too, gonna underfuel, recover it during the wet phase of the race and see if the code plays against me.
I know it also sounds like some of those 'conspiracy theorists' guys, but.. I also strongly believe that the game IS programmed to 'cheat' and throw all kinds of 'obstacles' in the way of the player and make things harder than they should be - this happens a LOT to be just coincidence..
I understand that this is an aspect of several other games and that the game is just trying to create 'new challenges' to the player, etc, BUT.. at the same time, I think we have the option to set the AI level to, literally level things up with our own skill level and that should be more than enough to give us the EXACT amount of challenge we want, so.. it feels like being cheated when all kinds of unbelievable BS gets thrown at you, over and over again - I honestly DON'T like this aspect of the game - once again: I understand and think this is ok for other types of games, but it feels super frustrating (and like being cheated) in a game like F1 22 - also, I think that's completely unnecessary and unwanted, so.. I hope the devs think twice about having/adding stuff like this to the game/AI coding in the future - here's hoping..
