F1 22 is one of the popular racing video games available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Developed by Codemaster and published by EA, it is the fifteenth addition to EA’s Formula 1 franchise.

The game was released in July 2022 and has received a positive response from gamers around the world so far. However, players have also encountered several kinds of issues since its launch.

Among them are crashing and freezing issues, FPS drop, input delay, and compatibility issues. And it appears that issues continue to pop up as F1 22 players are now reporting yet another bug with the game.

Gamers now say that the AI straight-line speed in F1 22 is too fast or overpowered which is making the game unplayable (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Here are some reports for reference:
