F1 2016 is Too Easy

Recommended Posts

Recently I started a championship season as Rio Haryanto in the Manor, against the ultimate AI and it really began to show how easy it is to do well offline in this game. The AI go far too slow on the first lap, which is easily exploitable and sometimes you can even make up 10+ positions just by being aggressive. At the start of the game, people were complaining about the Ultimate AI being too slow, but a few months in it's become pretty clear that they're too slow in the race. Qualifying pace is pretty good, possibly only a tenth or two quicker would be perfect. 

In the race the AI not only are slow, but are often far too docile in attacking/defending. For example I should be getting destroyed by the the Mercedes and Red Bulls, yet they can't get passed even at a track like China. I would like to see another level of AI introduced above Ultimate to provide more of a challenge and appeal to the absolute fastest on the game.

Both of these videos show exactly what I'm talking about:

As much as this makes for great entertainment and great races, I shouldn't be able to pick up wins and podiums in a stock Manor.

i guess the big problem is, that the AI never leave the racing line...

you are always able to defend or attack inside.
