The AI straight line speed is absolutely absurd. I can have DRS and dump the entire battery running 0-0 wings and still not overtake or be able to defend.
it was the same on launch for either F123 or F124 and it took like a month to fix it and it was unplayable the entire time.
I’m also experiencing the same issue, and as I progress through my career mode, it feels like it's getting worse as the cars develop.
The AI straight-line speed is completely bugged and way too fast. On some tracks, even with ERS on overtake mode and DRS activated, they can still pass me with ease — it’s impossible to defend.
It really makes the gameplay experience frustrating and awful.
I’d also like to point out that when checking the R&D levels, this happens with cars that are clearly less developed than mine, with significantly lower aero stats — there’s no way they should be reaching such high top speeds.
When you combine that with the AI having insane traction out of slow corners (you can easily lose 7 tenths on certain tracks), the fact that they don’t suffer from dirty air at all (while we lose grip instantly when following another car — which I actually enjoy as a realistic feature, but the AI are totally unaffected), and their seemingly unlimited ERS (I’ve never seen an AI car with blinking rear lights indicating ERS recharge), I think this really sums up most of the major issues players are reporting.
To EA : I believe this year’s game is overall very solid, but this AI behavior is something that urgently needs your attention. Fixing it should be a top priority to improve the overall player experience.
In F1 24 and F1 23, I played with the AI at 100. However, in F1 25, I've had to lower the AI to 95, and I'm still struggling on some tracks like China, Brazil, Silverstone, and others. The lap times are simply ridiculous; I can be up to a second behind in Q3, and I've tried various setups with no success.
Did you use Overtake mode in qualifying?
If I do a normal GP I can race the AI comfortably on 100 Ai, I don’t always win but I come top 5, podium or win but on My team they are so quick in a straight. The top 4 teams all maxed cars so there is no other advantage and I have even dropped my wings to be quicker and don’t make a difference! Most of the time the cars behind me with no DRS catch me
Any news on an update?!? I usually race on 100 on a GP but my team they are crazy fast in a straight line!
i found out its the myteam car for now, my myteam car is fully maxed out and the AI is too quick in traction and straight line speed, on normal career with lawson in the alpha tauri the AI has the same speed and traction than me, thats what i found out
This is really messing up my MyTeam season, so annoying. This needs to be investigated and fixed
same problem here, terrible game
Have you solved this problem yet? Not yet, right? I recently bought the game and had the same problem as you.
Rodrigo2k65 Nope, not fixed yet. In fact they aren't even investigating it yet! Nice right?
