@VibrantMass616 If F1 22 follows previous iterations of the game, AI increases in third season of My Team and every season after. Youtuber Alex Gillon tested it and found that in F1 2021, AI speed increased by 0.300 seconds without the car being upgraded. So it was suggested to decrease AI level by 3 points at start of the season. If F1 22 is just a carry on from F1 2021 it's likely that it's the same scenario, don't be ashamed to lower the OP AI!
Edit: Also, are you overheating the tyres? Does the fully upgraded car eat the front tyres like it did in F1 2021?
Yes you're right, I remember season 3 and season 6 in F1 2021 being very difficult too. It wouldn't surprise me if this years game has the same faults as there seems to be a lot of 'copy and paste' about it.
Overheating the tyres is also a good point but when I was struggling in the practice programmes over the weekend I changed tyre temperatures to surface only as I thought this might be the case but it didn't really help.
I probably do need to swallow my pride and just lower the AI a few clicks but on the other hand I think why bother, I can do the same races plus more in 'Grand Prix' mode without having to keep messing around with the AI level and with realistic car perfromance (my brakes are shocking after the last upgrade).
