F1 2011 AI race question

[Ryan Hieronymus]

Hey all, I just picked up F1 2011 and I have a question. I ran a 75% race at Melbourne and had an interesting start, and only made it about 9 laps before backing out. I found that in the Ferrari I absolutely walked away from the field on the first lap, only to have them not only catch and pass me but pull a 3 second lead on me, all on lap 2! How can this be? Seems strange and I was wondering if anyone else has had any similar experiences. Legend ai, no assists.

AI is always a bit slow during the first lap, getting up to speed in lap 2 and driving as fast as they can afterwards. It's pretty normal, no worries.
