It has been dealt with via a workaround, so the baseline Honda engine isn’t bad and can be upgraded to at least Renault level power wise. You will still see a competitive drop-off from your teammate as you apply engine upgrades though. So in the interest of preserving the teammate battle, you could focus on aero and chassis upgrades and leave engine for the last. Otherwise you’ll definitely notice that you can easily outdrag your teammate

You get more car performance from engine upgrades while your team mate gets more for aero upgrades (might get from chassis as well). Knowing about the engine upgrades problems I started doing aero first and surprise surprise. I wasn't able to keep up with my team mate anymore. Also the practice programs became much harder so I had to reduce difficulty until I managed to upgrade the engine enough to be on pair with my team mate again. Their "fix" only managed to create an unbalance between the player and the AI team mate all the way through the upgrade process. In my opinion they f**ked up even more the overall gameplay. Considering the other known bugs (AI overtaking you during safety car, AI doing dry times on a wet track, or not changing to wet/dry tires, not being able to get a #1 driver contract no matter what, once you got to a top team not being able to get a contract from a smaller team, not being able to do the speed trap quest in Azerbaidjan and so on) the career mode is massively flawed and a bad experience overall. Can't understand how so many people can praise the career mode when it has so so many bugs. Not even going to the multiplayer area. It's a good development from 2015 and 2016 with plenty of good ideas integrated into the game but the bugs totally ruin something that could be such an enjoyable experience
