No. Bot slowing equals reducing your drivers rating in a series artificially so that you draw an easier grid of bots. You don't change the behavior of an individual bot. Their difficulty level is set.

Bots run to the spline of the track. If you are passing them and they are out of position, they try to return to the spline, and if your tail happens to be there, you get spun.

You can get a little bit of variation if the bot ends up in a different car. Put RattleSnack in the R18, they will have a bit different brake points and times than in the NISMO because of the geometry of the car. But there performance potential performance is the same race after race.

What changes is your performance. It is very different if you blast past on a straight than in a turn, so if you skid somewhere and you meet them in a chicane and instead of on a straight, you will end up with the perception that they are more aggressive.
