I have noticed a few issues regarding AI abilities that are bugging me greatly.
1.) The AI exit pit lane via a very structured racing line without fault. I found this in Germany when I was racing on the left side just as an AI was exiting, they went straight into me as soon as the white line ended of the pit exit and caused me to spin out, I was literally on the very left touching the outer line so I could not have moved any more away without going onto the grass. Just needs a tweak so they can understand if a car is beside them on exit that they stay on the pit exit side and follow into the corner accordingly.
2.) The R&D favours Manor a little too unrealistically. I have played 2 2 season careers so far and both times the Manor car progresses extremely fast, may still be coincidental that both career instances the Manor is the team that go all out but if that can be looked into in case, I have no issue with any team progressing fast, especially on a next season start as teams will often make big steps or fall back but within a more random basis?
3.) Backmarkers: for some reason the AI act a little crazy to one another here, a perfect example is my Spainish race, I was racing 2nd, my team-mate Alonso 1st just within a second ahead of me, 2 backmarkers fighting for position, one slowed for Alonso, the other swerved in front of him and seemingly brake tested sending the backmarker off the track (now this was actually very entertaining to watch at first) but caused Alonso clear damage going into the next few corners struggling with front wing damage unneccessarily, the AI backmarkers are very good at brake testing on the racing line which needs to stop, rather they kept at speed and either moved over or slowed after the corner to prevent a collision.
Request: If there is any chance you can rebalance some drivers abilities for more realism, Max Verstappen always out qualifies and out races Daniel Ricciardo, but Ric being the more consistent point scorer in reality so far. Kvyat is constantly getting top 10s and sometimes in the top 5 while Sainz is lagging back out of points or just within at 9th or 10th, pretty much the opposite of what they are racing currently, often Kvyat struggling at the back of the field in real time. Manor are consistently getting points but at the same time holding up the rest of the field for some reason they seem like racing walls, fluke qualifying and no AI can overtake them, even Sebastian Vettel in a Ferrari..
Ric, Alonso, Sainz, Grosjean, Perez, Massa and Bottas all need to be improved in race performance. Kvyat, Wherlein, Haryanto, Nasr and Magnussen need decreasing.
