It’s not immediate but I DO think you get that lead from the lag at beginning of race That's no lag, you'd actually have to see your own car start a bit earlier than the other cars for that. I think the further back your grid position is, the more the acceleration and/or grip of your car gets improved at the start (and only there), in an attempt to compensate for the worse grid position.

If there is lag, you can see the cars jumping around the track (which actually happens sometimes), but that shouldn't influence the result at the finish line, as there surely are some anti-lag algorithms in place that extrapolate the lagging car's presumed velocity.

However, judging from the other posts I guess it's safe say it's happening to everyone and you should actually get a different post-race scoreboard for every participant, which could be proven if two members of the same race team race each other and take a screenshot of the scoreboard after the race.
