I ask because my experience seems to be that the AI is fast straight out of the pits, whereas I have a lap and a bit of grip which feels worse than when I pitted. I can follow somebody into the pits while keeping pace with them for a while, fit the same tyres, and then see them disappear into the distance with seemingly hot wheels. Similarily the AI seems to suffer less from tyre deg than me, but that might be just my driving style...
Partially related, but does it seem to anybody else the tyre temp model rather sucks? I have hot tyres for the start (having sat on the grid for a minute or so...). Also for some reason they cool as soon as the safety car is deployed, even if I'm doing race pace. This actually caught me out at Monaco as my grip dropped rather faster than expected and I was pushing to catch the train...
