Could the problem with super qualifying be that the AI are constantly using a 100% battery? There's a completely flawed balance between qualifying and the race.
It is currently impossible to compete in the Q on dry.

Which mode, Career, GP?
I didn’t check yet but often it depends on setup and also driver ability. I mean it’s very changeable and depending on personal feelings.
For example how was F1 25 for you? In my experience (GP mode) I was quite stronger in Qualifying pace rather than in Race despite not taking too much risk and preparing the setup for Race only.
Besides in F1 25 AI was very low level in comparison with the past (F1 24 etc.) so I would welcome any improvement because if you are too fast you cannot have fun, while if you are slow you can always decrease AI level…
I don't think it's a question of skill. I mean, incredibly strong drivers, those who used to give 2 seconds in qualifying in F1 25 to 110 now struggle to get through Q2, only to find themselves battling for the podium in the race. It's more a question of how you use the battery. In qualifying “without boost” in the wet you can aim for pole, but in the dry definitely not 😅
No, the AI isn't overpowered. You have to figure out your own energy management—deciding where to use the boost and where it's better not to. It’s roughly 80% "hotlap" pace (depending on the track) with boost used only on the straights; depending on the circuit, the split might be 80% hotlap and 20% boost. Using too much boost leaves you extremely slow by the end of the lap, which is why the AI ends up being faster than you. The new rules require a lot more practice to figure out how to manage energy during qualifying.
For me, the 110 AI/KI is beatable through good energy management.
