v1.12 Patch Notes
Computer-Controlled Drivers (AI) Update
AI behaviour has been updated so that they can brake later into and accelerate less effectively out of turns. In Dry conditions this will not affect overall lap time, but in the Wet they will be slightly slower
Following extensive internal testing and feedback from the broad F1 25 community, this change refines and retunes some of the fundamental racing characteristics of computer-controlled drivers (AI).
You will now notice that AI race in a more flowing fashion, ensuring that they enter and exit corners closer to how a real-world driver would, whilst carrying a more appropriate amount of speed through corner apexes.
AI performance in Wet weather conditions has also been taken into consideration. The changes relating to acceleration in particular mean AI performance is now better aligned with how your car is expected to drive in the same track conditions. As a result, lap times for the AI in the Wet are slightly slower, differing on a track and difficulty level basis.
We believe these refinements better balance the flow of racing between you and the AI. You may find it more difficult to dive-bomb them going into corners, or that the AI's out-of-corner acceleration isn't as strong as before. In Dry conditions, lap times for AI drivers are nearly identical to what they were pre-patch, however, these driving characteristics changes may encourage you to adjust your difficulty setting accordingly. Please continue to share your feedback following these changes - we look forward to hearing what you think.
