to delete Broken AI Since F1 2018

[broksaj 9]

- AI incredible grip at race starts (cannot counter that with a cheap gamepad)

- the level of AI is unoptimized in some races, even from corner to corner they can be either very slow consistently or too fast compared to actual player and adjusting AI skill level doesn't really help that (at least from my experience) (good example is canada after turn 7, AI just finds incredible grip and accelarates so much faster than I can, or the straight after last corner in japan) (another good example is mexican GP, the AI has unreal traction after the last corner coming onto the straight)

- AI is often veeeeeeeeery slow when coming for a pitstop

- when under safety car, when the message comes up "SC coming in this lap" the AI suddenly brake unrealistically hard, almost coming to a full stop, it often happens that I either hit the car in front or I have to dodge it

- when an AI car has an issue and is driving slowly, the AI behind that car are terrible at overtaking that car (usually takes them more than half a lap to finally overtake), often creating a ton of gap between say me and them, takes away from the joy, when I suddenly have 10 sec advantage because of that in 1-2 laps, also sucks being stuck behind those cars as it's pretty much free positions for me

- AI entry to pitstop in austria, they slow down waaaaaaaaay too soon, it's easy to crash into them and completely unrealistic

Bug Report please. This is not a bug and breaks bug reporting rules. Will delete.

Heres a video of the AI slamming on breaks when its announced that SC is coming in.

PS4, 1.13, DS4 Controller, happens pretty much every SC

^ That's just Bottas revenging his teammate for what happened before that last SC. 

Now seriously, leader sets the tempo under SC. And when SC announces that it will go in, leader will usually slowdown as much as possible or come to almost complete stop. That can be seen in real races too. That's something you need to be prepared for and for me it looks as expected (Baku 2017).

Agreed with @XanderSJX, treat the rear end of the driver in front with caution. The video is 'by design'

I also agree with @XanderSJX and BarryBL. The braking can really catch you off guard, but it's just part of the game to stay focussed under SC conditions. I'd suggest you leave some more room between yourself and the car in front. You easily could have touched him on several occassions during this video because you are way too close to him. Even getting alongside Bottas is just an indication that you are too eager to close the gap. Why would you even do that? You can leave up to 10 car lengths between you and the driver in front. I usually leave room for 4 to 5 car lengths.
