Lewis Hamilton spent "half" the race trying to slow down the field sufficiently to get Verstappen into a better position than his team-"mate" Rosberg so that he could win the championship, the whole time Rosberg was complaining, Mercedes were telling him to stop, he just told them he was happy driving his way and ignored them. Was that cheating!?!

If you run a race and don't win and then try again the game often reduces the performance of the opponents, it is adjusting itself to the player level, I guess to try and give the player a chance at winning rather than just being plain frustrating. All that bot-slowing does is to take advantage of that mechanism. I've occasionally used it to win an Elimiation race (e.g. NASCAR) which was literally impossible even though I had the car fully-upgraded and the race was effectively a straight line! Are you suggesting that certain races should be impossible to win!?! Can you imagine the abuse FM would get for that? My comments are on RR3, what you did occasionally is still cheating. I am not suggesting anything as far as results go, or the abuse that FM may get, simply saying that what a lot of people do, and explained in details on this site, is cheating.
