Playing in the wet weather sometimes, I have noticed that sometimes I have access to the Hotlap ERS mode, sometimes I’m limited to only Medium and None. Sometimes when I restart the session, I regain access to Hotlap.
According to some people I know, this bug also occurs in multiplayer races, some drivers have access to Hotlap in the wet, some don’t, which means that some drivers are completely disadvantaged.
For some reason I still don't have ERS Hotlap in wet races after the patch.
ERS Hotlap is now available. Thanks.
Update 1.24 (PC)
In the rain (wet tyres), Hotlap ERS mode is available during GP practice and qualifying sessions, but NOT during the race.
I hope it is, it was one way of equalising the ridiculous wet AI
Is ERS Hotlap available in the rain after update 1.24?
It looks like things are different on PC compared to console.

Community ManagerHi everyone, thanks for reporting this.
We've passed your report on to the team so they can investigate this further.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Thanks again for helping us improve the game.
New rule changes are coming in right now. They should take them into account and fix this issue at the same time. [Hotlap should be available in the rain].

This urgently needs to be fixed. In league racing, this creates a huge competitive disadvantage. It’s unacceptable that the game allows this to happen. In my championship, we had to race only in dry conditions because of this issue. It’s yet another feature that doesn’t work properly, just like the formation lap and the red flag. I really hope these issues are addressed and fixed as soon as possible.EA_Groguet
